EHR Vendor eClinicalWorks Taps AI Tool for Clinical Documentation

EHR vendor eClinicalWorks has announced an integration with Sunoh.ai, an AI-powered ambient listening technology that aims to streamline clinical documentation.

The technology allows providers to use natural language to generate clinical documentation during in-office appointments and telehealth visits.

Many factors can contribute to clinician burnout, including intricate documentation requirements. AI-powered ambient listening technology can help clinicians focus on patient care while technology generates clinical documentation.

Sunoh.ai creates tailored highlights, actionable alerts, relevant next steps, and a summary of the patient appointment for clinicians to review and approve.

"AI can solve a fundamental challenge in healthcare: giving healthcare providers valuable time to focus on in-the-moment patient care," Girish Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks, said in a press release.

"With Sunoh.ai, providers can give their full attention to the patient, knowing the technology will capture the conversation and generate a clinical note and prompt for orders and next steps," Navani added. "This lets providers do what they do best, provide human-centric care."

Sunoh.ai listens to patient-provider encounters and documents clinical information. The technology then categorizes the transcript of the encounter and summarizes content into the appropriate progress note sections. Providers review the summarized content for accuracy and completeness and modify it if necessary.
