Fully Automated Ambient Listening
Solution Summarizes Patient Visits Directly into EHR
NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXGN), a leading provider of
innovative, cloud-based healthcare technology solutions, today
announced the availability of NextGen™ Ambient Assist, an ambient
listening solution that interprets patient-provider conversations
in real time to summarize appointments and document care plans at
unprecedented speeds. Ambient Assist delivers AI-generated
subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) notes directly
into the electronic health record (EHR) for provider
convenience.
SOAP notes have long been used in many specialties to help
providers organize their observations and establish a clear outline
for patient care. Using Ambient Assist within the NextGen® Mobile
application, providers can save as much as two hours of
documentation per day, allowing them more time for patient
interactions. Within 30 seconds of a completed patient encounter, a
SOAP note appears for provider review. The AI-driven technology
filters for relevant details to create concise documentation of
each patient appointment with over 90% accuracy.
“Far beyond a transcription service, Ambient Assist is an
intelligent ally that helps providers reclaim their time and serve
patients more effectively,” said David Sides, president and CEO of
NextGen Healthcare. “This innovation is in response to the
well-documented epidemic of physician burnout.”
Research suggests that approximately 63% of physicians report
experiencing emotional exhaustion or another common sign of burnout
at least once in any given week. Physician burnout can adversely
affect patient care by leading to errors and reduced quality of
care.
Importantly, Ambient Assist does not circumvent the provider by
inferring medical conditions or making medical judgments. Once the
provider reviews the note and makes any necessary edits, it is
delivered seamlessly into the NextGen Enterprise EHR for inclusion
in the patient’s medical records. Features of Ambient Assist
include:
- Intelligence: familiarity with natural, conversational speaking
and immediate recognition of medical acronyms
- 100% technology-based: zero reliance on scribes or additional
personnel
- Complete automation: no copying and pasting into the EHR for
the provider
- Auto-deletion: to preserve patient privacy, audio and
transcripts are never stored or saved
Live demonstrations of Ambient Assist will be available October
8 – 11 at the HLTH 2023 conference (booth 4823) in Las Vegas,
Nevada, and November 29 – December 2, at the NextGen Healthcare
User Group Meeting (UGM) in Orlando, Florida.
