Empowering Premier Members: Introducing Suki Assistant for Streamlined Clinical Documentation
Premier members now have access to Suki Assistant, an AI-powered tool designed to alleviate administrative burdens for clinicians. Utilizing generative AI technology, Suki passively listens to conversations between patients and clinicians, automatically drafting clinical notes. Additionally, it simplifies other time-consuming tasks such as ICD-10 and HCC coding, providing answers to queries, and facilitating dictation. Suki seamlessly integrates with major EHR systems like Epic, Cerner, Meditech, and Athena, ensuring support for all documentation workflows by synchronizing note content in real-time. Clinicians have the flexibility to either pre-chart within the EHR and finalize notes with Suki or commence note-taking with Suki and incorporate pertinent information, such as vitals, from the EHR. Upon completion, the note content is transmitted back to the EHR, updating relevant sections accordingly. On average, clinicians complete notes 72 percent faster with Suki, while health systems witness up to 9X ROI due to enhanced efficiency, increased reimbursements facilitated by detailed documentation, and heightened encounter volumes, among other benefits.
Premier stands as a prominent healthcare improvement organization, bringing together an alliance of approximately 4,350 U.S. hospitals and 300,000 other providers to revolutionize healthcare delivery. Through integrated data and analytics, collaborative efforts, supply chain solutions, consulting services, and more, Premier facilitates superior care and outcomes at reduced costs. The provider selection process at Premier is rigorous, evaluating candidates based on various criteria including quality, capacity to deliver value, and the level of service and support offered.
This announcement marks the latest in a series of achievements and partnerships that solidify Suki’s position as a leader in the AI assistant category. Notably, Suki received a remarkable rating of 93.2/100 in a KLAS assessment and has established collaborations with industry leaders such as Amwell and MEDITECH. Currently deployed across 30+ specialties and all clinical settings, including ambulatory care, telehealth, skilled nursing facilities/home health, and inpatient facilities, Suki continues to expand its reach and impact.
“We are thrilled to work with Premier as their exclusive solution for AI scribes,” said Heather Miller, VP of Partnerships for Suki. “Premier’s mission to improve the health of communities is very much aligned with Suki’s goal of making healthcare technology invisible and assistive so clinicians can focus on what matters most: their patients. We look forward to helping Premier’s members reduce their administrative burden with the quality and value they expect from Premier-selected solutions.”
