Suki Assistant: Enhancing Healthcare Efficiency with Cutting-Edge Voice AI Technology
Suki Assistant is a scalable solution trusted by over 250 U.S. health systems and clinics, working across 99 specialties including family medicine, pediatrics, gastroenterology, cardiology, gynecology, orthopedics, and behavioral health. Recognized for its exceptional performance, Suki recently received an impressive 93.2 overall performance score from KLAS, a leading healthcare research company.
Key Features and Benefits:
– Deep EHR Integration: Suki seamlessly integrates with leading electronic health record (EHR) systems such as Epic, Cerner, Athena, and MEDITECH, enabling clinicians to incorporate it effortlessly into their workflows.
– Efficiency and ROI: Proven to reduce documentation time by 72% and cut down “after-hours” documentation by almost 6 hours, Suki delivers a remarkable 9x return on investment (ROI) in one year for healthcare organizations. This is particularly advantageous for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Community Health Centers that often operate with limited resources and budgets.
– Comprehensive Assistance: Acting as a full-fledged assistant, Suki enables clinicians to utilize ambient note-taking, coding, dictation, and more, significantly improving efficiency and allowing clinicians to be more present during patient visits.
Addressing Primary Care Shortages:
According to the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), over 62 million Americans face difficulties accessing primary care due to provider shortages, a problem particularly severe in underserved rural and urban areas. Low-income families, up to 53% of whom experience financial strain due to healthcare costs, are especially affected. By partnering with organizations providing care in shortage areas and underserved communities, Suki’s voice AI Assistant helps clinicians cut back on administrative work hours, thereby improving their presence during visits and ensuring that all patients receive the care they deserve.
Mission and Vision:
Suki’s mission is to make healthcare technology invisible and assistive, enabling clinicians to focus entirely on their patients. By reducing the administrative burden and enhancing efficiency, Suki is dedicated to transforming healthcare delivery and ensuring optimal patient care across diverse specialties and settings.
“We have always prided ourselves in being early adopters of technology that will improve our organization, and Suki allows us to optimize our workflows, making what we do more effective,” said Michael Jensen, Chief Executive Officer at UNHS. “We felt Suki was the most robust in terms of quality charting, the amount of time it took to train clinicians to use the product, and it’s easy to use. For our clinicians, the main differentiator of Suki was how well it integrated with our EHR system, Athena.”
