What You Should Know:
– WellSky, a leading health and community care technology company, announced the launch of an AI-powered ambient listening feature within its Specialty Care electronic health record (EHR) solution.
– Enabled by Suki, a pioneer in healthcare AI, the WellSky Ambient Listening solution is designed to deliver secure, efficient, and intelligent documentation directly into the clinical workflow of providers in behavioral health, rehabilitation, and long-term acute care facilities.
Reducing Burden and Unlocking Revenue
The core benefit of the WellSky Ambient Listening solution is the dramatic reduction in administrative burden, allowing clinicians to dedicate more time to direct patient care. Preliminary testing showcases significant, measurable outcomes:
- Time Saved: Users can reduce documentation time by 41% per clinical note.
- Work-Life Balance: After-hours work is reduced by 37%.
- Revenue Potential: By enabling more patient encounters through reduced administrative burden, providers could unlock up to $1,688 in additional incremental monthly revenue per user.
Seamless Documentation for Specialty Workflows
The solution transforms the documentation process by eliminating the need for manual data entry and voice dictation. Clinicians can speak naturally during patient visits while the technology listens in the background, automatically generating structured notes and AI-powered summaries for review and sign-off.
Bill Miller, chairman and CEO of WellSky, called the integration a “transformative technological milestone for providers and a massive leap forward for a better patient experience.”
