Athenahealth is partnering with Abridge to integrate the company’s enhanced note-taking technology into its platform for clinicians, as the market for ambient scribing is becoming more crowded. Abridge offers ambient note-taking, which is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technology that listens to a patient and doctor conversation and generates structured medical notes. After a review by the doctor, these notes are added directly to a patient’s electronic health record. The note-taking tool is also multilingual; it can record the patient-doctor conversation in one language and write it up in another language

Microsoft introduced a new clinical artificial intelligence assistant Monday (March 3) that combines advanced voice dictation and ambient listening with generative AI to alleviate doctors’ workflow burdens. Called Dragon Copilot, the assistant integrates Microsoft’s Dragon Medical One (DMO) speech capabilities for doctor dictation of medical notes and its DAX Copilot ambient AI listening technology that converts conversations between doctors and patients into clinical summaries that can be integrated into the electronic health record, according to a press release. The consolidated AI tool aims to minimize clinician burnout by streamlining administrative tasks and bringing forth faster clinical insights, the release said

Rush + Suki to Co-Develop a AI-Powered Dictation Solution Integrated with Epic. by Fred Pennic 03/03/2025 Leave a Comment. What You Should Know: – Rush University System for Health, a academic health system, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Suki, a pioneer in AI technology for healthcare. – Following a successful pilot program, Rush will deploy Suki’s AI Assistant across its entire enterprise, empowering clinicians across 28 specialties to reduce administrative burden and focus on patient care.Next-Generation AI DictationThe partnership will also focus on the co-development of a next-generation AI-powered dictation feature directly within Epic, Rush’s electronic health record (EHR) system. This integration will combine Suki’s ambient and dictation technologies into a single, holistic solution, further enhancing clinician efficiency and streamlining workflows.Success of the Pilot ProgramRush’s initial pilot program with Suki Assistant demonstrated significant benefits:Increased encounter volumes: A 10% increase in encounter volumes, improving access to care for patients and generating more revenue for the health system.Improved coding accuracy: A nearly 5% increase in Level 5 coding levels, resulting in an estimated $202 per month in increased revenue per user.“In the initial trial period, 74% of our clinicians reported that Suki reduced their burnout levels, and 95% expressed a desire to continue using it—reinforcing our belief in the transformational power of AI in healthcare,” said Briana Rygg, Chief Applications Officer at Rush. “As early adopters of ambient technology, we are excited to partner with Suki to rapidly develop and deploy advanced functionality for nursing, inpatient/ED, and our learners. Suki’s robust AI Assistant capabilities and deep Epic integration make it easy to scale across all Rush facilities as we aim to improve clinician well-being and drive operational efficiencies for health systems nationwide.”
