Integrated AI documentation and in-chart scribing for the EHR gains praise from early adopters
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elation Health, the clinical-first technology company powering innovation in primary care, today announced the release of its ambient note generation product called Note Assist, an embedded artificial intelligence (AI) solution for its Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform, designed for the complex patient visit requirements of primary care.
With Elation’s Note Assist, the details of the physician-patient visit are ambiently transcribed and intelligently incorporated into a structured note. This solution also works with the physician’s own note templates, taking into account both existing note context and patient details to craft high-quality, precise documentation in near real-time. Details from the visit conversation continuously populate the template and other discrete sections of the note, reducing documentation effort while also helping clinicians to quickly get a sense of visit completeness and confirm any final details with the patient.
Customers testing the feature already report significant benefits with Elation’s Note Assist solution:
- “I use Elation’s Note Assist across various visit types, which allows me to concentrate fully on patient interactions rather than typing or note-taking,” said Dian Ginsberg, MD, in Texas. “Detailed information is collected and I can efficiently finalize comprehensive notes, often in five minutes or less.”
- "Elation Note Assist enables me to engage with patients more effectively during office visits,” said Domingo Aviado, MD of Partnership Health Centers in New Jersey. “I no longer have the distraction of typing on the computer while trying to respond and ask questions.”
- “Note Assist has reduced my documentation time by approximately 40%. Completing notes requires minimal effort now. I really enjoy using Elation’s scribing solution!” shared another primary care physician in Texas.
- "Elation Note Assist has transformed my practice. It accurately and concisely summarizes patient conversations, allowing me to relax and maintain face-to-face interaction during visits. This technology is a game-changer - I use it with every visit!” said Michelle M. Davis, MD in Louisiana. “Now my patients see me not just the back of a laptop."
- In a survey of this group, clinicians reported saving 13 minutes per visit on average using Note Assist. The survey also found that 75% reported experiencing more joy in their work and 87% said that they provided better patient care and experienced less burnout when using Elation’s scribing and note generation solution.
Shifting the burden of note taking and note writing from clinicians onto the EHR itself, Elation’s Note Assist allows clinicians to focus more time and attention on the patient interaction. Clinicians experience minimal workflow changes while having continuous access to patient data and EHR tools to make the most of their time with patients. Elation’s approach to AI technology is designed to function as a supporting member of the clinician’s team, proactively adapting to changing needs, all while crafting high-quality, comprehensive visit documentation in less time and with less cognitive burden.
Elation’s Note Assist is the first of several AI features in development. The current version enables:
- Seamless operation: The only EHR-native intelligent scribing and note generation solution of its kind, offering deep integration for continuous access to Elation’s EHR tools and patient data without the disruption of third-party systems;
- Secure capturing and translating: Clinical visit conversations in English or Spanish are securely transcribed, allowing physicians to better connect with patients during the visit;
- Fast note generation: Notes are generated periodically throughout the visit to minimize delays at the end;
- Thorough visits: Works with visit note templates to ensure visits are comprehensive and formatting preferences are applied to notes;
- Accurate and high quality notes: Crafts precise, comprehensive notes utilizing existing note content and patient chart context, minimizing duplication and enhancing accuracy to intelligently populate clinical details into structured fields; and,
- Less distraction: Intuitive, modern design with ambient capabilities creates space for physicians to focus more time and attention on patients, delivering a transformative clinical experience when coupled with Elation’s clinical-first EHR.
“The connection between patient and physician is invaluable and easy to disrupt,” said Phill Tornroth, vice president of engineering at Elation Health. “It was critical for this first intelligent feature to not only prove useful in the EHR, but also to show what is possible when AI is designed for trust by primary care experts with a deep understanding of clinician workflows.”
“Elation’s new Note Assist solution is just the start of our larger vision for transforming the EHR from a supportive technology to a valued assistant to the clinician,” said Kyna Fong, CEO of Elation Health. “For a decade, Elation has earned the highest physician satisfaction ratings with our technology innovation. Our approach to AI raises the bar again. Primary care physicians deserve tools that respect their craft.”
