The Athenahealth medical care provider said Tuesday that he will offer the opening artificial intelligence writing tool to his network of more than 160,000 doctors.
Athenahealth has developed an electronic health registration, patient income and participation tools management tools for outpatient care suppliers, including outpatient facilities such as independent practices. The company presented a solution called Ambient Notes in October that allows doctors to choose between several documentation tools with AI, and Open is the last addition.
ABRIDGE uses AI to write clinical notes in real time as doctors record their visits with patients. The startup is part of a red red market that has exploited as medical care executives seek solutions to help reduce the exhaustion of personnel and discouraging administrative workloads.
“The market will evolve quite rapidly, there will be winners and losers over time,” said Athenahealth Bob Seve C. “Different doctors will prefer different ways in which the notes are taken and the information is delivered, and we want to provide that flexibility.”
Athenahealth and Abridge refused to share the financial details of the association.
Doctors spend almost nine hours a week in documentation, according to an October study by Google Cloud. And more than 90% of doctors report to feel burned in a “regular” way, according to a survey in charge of Athenahealth last February.
Companies like Open, Microsoft's Nuance Communications, Suki and others say that their writing tools can help. Suki and Iscribehealth already offer their tools through the solution of Athenahealth environmental notes.
“It will be up to us to make sure that we can demonstrate the differentiation,” said the CEO of the CEO of Abridge, Dr. Shiv Rao, to CNBC. “Until now, we have had good luck in recent years doing that.”
Abridge has implemented its technology in more than 100 health systems in the United States, including organizations such as Mayic, Duke Health and Johns Hopkins Media.
The company announced a financing round of $ 250 million earlier this month. He also presented a new contextual reasoning engine that can extract relevant information for a specific doctor and the best practices of his clinic. Rao de Abridge said technology will be available for Athenahealth doctors.
Athenahealth's ambient solutions is currently available in a limited capacity, but the company said it plans to expand availability for doctors until 2025.
“The more they try, the more they like it, and I think we will see a rather steep adoption curve as this continues to progress,” Sert said.
