Reduces Burnout for Behavioral Health Clinicians
Nearly half of psychologists report burnout or the inability to meet patient demand. Augmedix can help alleviate the increased workload, and clinicians using Augmedix products can save up to three hours per day.
The company’s offerings can be utilized in ambulatory and acute behavioral healthcare settings such as counseling, psychiatric services, clinics, telehealth, inpatient, and more. Augmedix products are utilized by a wide spectrum of behavioral health professionals, including nurse practitioners and psychiatrists. Across the more than 35 specialties that Augmedix serves, patients consent to the use of Augmedix at a 99% acceptance rate.
“To address the increasing need for behavioral healthcare services, which has been exacerbated by the mental healthcare workforce shortage, Augmedix is expanding its service offerings to cover this pressing issue in our society today,” said Manny Krakaris, Chief Executive Officer of Augmedix. “Augmedix enables health systems partners like Northern Light Health to put the clinician-patient relationship front and center in behavioral health settings as well as other specialty settings. We facilitate a more natural interaction and document patient visits with comprehensive and accurate medical notes.”
