What You Should Know:
– Nabla, an Ambient AI assistant for practitioners, today announced that its technology powers NextGen® Ambient Assist, a fully automated ambient listening solution that helps providers streamline clinical documentation and improve patient care.
– This strategic partnership, which began in September 2023, enables NextGen® Ambient Assist to leverage Nabla Copilot’s advanced AI capabilities to generate real-time clinical notes directly into NextGen Mobile, NextGen’s EHR.
Addressing the Burden of EHR Documentation
Managing and navigating today’s EHR systems, which provide a digital version of a patient’s paper chart, creates extensive administrative work, contributing to clinicians’ growing burnout. Physicians who spend more than six hours per week on EHR tasks outside of standard clinic hours are nearly 3x more likely to report burnout. The EHR is also regularly regarded by physicians as the most important stressor in patient care.
Nabla Copilot: Harnessing Ambient AI for Streamlined Documentation
Nabla Copilot utilizes proprietary large language models (LLMs) to seamlessly and automatically capture all relevant medical information during consultations. These powerful LLMs extract, structure, and summarize information, enabling Nabla Copilot to generate accurate and concise clinical notes.
NextGen® Ambient Assist Powered by Nabla Copilot
NextGen® Ambient Assist, available to nearly 5,000 users of the NextGen® Mobile application, leverages Nabla Copilot’s technology to quickly capture subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) notes. The technology filters for relevant details to create concise documentation with over 90% accuracy. Providers then review each note and make any necessary edits before it’s included in the patient’s record.
Benefits of Ambient AI-Powered Clinical Documentation
By automating clinical documentation, Nabla Copilot and NextGen® Ambient Assist offer several benefits to providers:
– Reduced documentation time: Providers can save as much as two hours of documentation per day, allowing them to focus more on patient care.
– Improved patient-provider communication: With less time spent on documentation, providers can engage in more meaningful conversations with patients.
– Enhanced data accuracy: LLMs can extract and summarize information with high accuracy, ensuring that patient records are accurate and complete.
“EHR providers are looking for solutions that streamline workflows while also prioritizing privacy, accuracy, and speed, which is what Nabla Copilot is designed to deliver,” said Alex Lebrun, co-founder and CEO of Nabla. “Nabla is the growing AI assistant of choice for innovators like NextGen, truly allowing providers to focus their time and attention on improving patient care rather than clinical documentation.”
