Key features of Abridge Inside for Emergency Medicine include:
ASAP and Haiku Integration: Clinicians can initiate ambient recording directly from the department’s Track Board within Haiku, streamlining workflows and saving valuable time.
Purpose-Built AI: Abridge’s advanced automatic speech recognition models accurately detect medical specialties, languages, and multiple speakers, ensuring accurate transcription and comprehensive clinical documentation.
Reduced Documentation Burden: Clinicians using Abridge report an 86% reduction in note-writing effort, 60% less after-hours documentation work, and a 55% reduction in burnout.
“Abridge Inside for Emergency Medicine was developed in close collaboration with Epic as part of the Workshop program,” said Dr. Shiv Rao, CEO and Founder of Abridge. “There continues to be a strong collaborative effort to build new generative AI capabilities within Epic workflows. This trailblazing partnership will continue with the inpatient module that’s in development and nearly ready for beta testing.”
