Over the past couple of years, ambient scribes have earned widespread adoption among health systems. While there's excitement around other categories like AI agents, no other AI use case has achieved ambient scribes’ level of traction, noted Daniel Yang, Kaiser Permanente’s vice president of AI and emerging technologies.
Riverside Health is reporting an increase in revenue and net margins as a result of adopting Abridge’s ambient AI technology. The tool listens to doctor-patient interactions and generates clinical notes — which not only alleviates physicians’ burnout, but also improves their documentation accuracy. The Virginia-based health system saw a 14% increase in HCC diagnoses documented per encounter.

Lavonia Thomas, nursing informatics officer at MD Anderson Cancer Center, hopes that nurses will gain more access to ambient listening tools that listen in on patient conversations and then generate summaries for documentation purposes. These AI tools have become popular among physicians in the past couple years.
Idaho-based health system St. Luke’s is rolling out Ambience Healthcare’s AI platform across its enterprise following a successful pilot. The AI-powered scribing tool decreased clinicians’ documentation time by 39%.
In collaboration with Google Cloud, Suki added two capabilities to its AI assistant: patient summaries and Q&A functionality. These new features might help Suki differentiate itself from other companies selling AI-powered tools to help with documentation and coding, such as Abridge, DeepScribe and Microsoft.

With these tools, therapists can reclaim their time, focus on their patients, and deliver the high-quality care that every individual deserves — all while maintaining the financial stability to thrive in their practices.
The ability to reduce physician burnout is one of the most exciting things about AI, said CHAI CEO Brian Anderson. In his view, ambient listening AI could end up changing the healthcare delivery world in a similar way that the advent of the sewing machine changed the textile and fashion industry in the 1840s.
Meditech is integrating Suki’s AI assistant into more than a dozen rural health systems, including St. Mary's Healthcare in New York and Decatur County Memorial Hospital in Indiana.
Primary care EHR company Elation Health recently launched an AI-powered ambient note generation tool called Note Assist. The tool is now competing with those made by Microsoft, Abridge, DeepScribe and Suki.

Health systems across the country are launching enterprise-wide deployments of AI-powered clinical documentation tools. Hospital leaders agree that this technology reduces physician burnout, as well as allows physicians to have more meaningful and productive interactions with patients.
While burnout levels may be improving slightly, physicians’ administrative burden still remains a major issue. Providers are hungry for more tools designed to simplify these tasks, namely documentation, a new report shows.
On Monday at HIMSS24, Innovaccer unveiled a preview of its new AI copilot for providers, which is slated to go on the market by the end of 2024. The solution is a portable tablet device designed to provide clinicians with point-of-care support — it flags care and coding gaps, assists with clinical documentation and advises clinicians on possible diagnosis pathways.
During a recent panel, three health system executives shared some of the most important lessons they’ve learned from the digital initiatives they’ve worked on in the past couple years. Some of their nuggets of wisdom included starting with a problem instead of a solution and being sure not to use financial ROI as the only metric for success.
Elation Health released results of a survey it conducted to learn more about how primary care physicians feel about AI scribes. It found that they haven't really experienced the benefits of these tools yet, but they hope AI scribes can lead to time savings, reduced cognitive burden, improved job satisfaction, better patient focus and more time for care coordination.
