Join a virtual demoAmbient clinical intelligence (ACI)—a comprehensive, AI‑powered, voice‑enabled solution
ACI uses ambient sensing technology to securely listen to clinician‑patient encounter conversations while offering workflow and knowledge automation to complement the EHR. Exceeding the capabilities of a virtual or on‑site scribe, the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX), innovated by Nuance and Microsoft, promotes a better patient experience by accurately capturing and appropriately contextualizing every word of the patient encounter and automatically documenting patient care without taking the physician's attention off the patient.
Ambient device and mobile application
Clinicians engage in conversation with their patients while a dedicated mobile app or purpose‑built ambient device with highly optimized microphone array, large interactive display, integrated biometrics, and multi‑sensory capabilities securely captures a multi‑party conversation.
Ambient skills
Simply say "Hey Dragon" to get information in and out of the EHR. Integrated virtual assistant capabilities enable care teams to complete a growing list of tasks in real time within their EHR and other third-party applications.
Ambient documentation
Deep‑learning‑based AI securely converts encounter conversations into standardized, structured notes tailored for each specialty that adhere to established documentation standards. AI‑generated notes go through a brief quality review process to check for accuracy, omissions, and appropriateness before being delivered to the clinician for signature in the EHR—creating an AI learning loop for continuous improvement.
- Incorporates CMS E/M guidelines and clinical documentation integrity standards from the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI). We tune documentation through an architecture embedded with specialty-specific requirements gleaned from extensive research and analysis of thousands of sample notes and the design principles of quality, integrity, enhancement and optimization.
- Integrates subject matter expertise and clinical knowledge with real-world experience to produce high-value, adaptable, cross-specialty documentation. Documentation includes explicit CMS guidance, structure and terminology.
- Contains a consistent set of sections, terminology, and formatting that use Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) styles and standards. These standards help ensure concise, unambiguous communication of health information.
- Is tailored to meet each specialty’s diverse clinical workflows, conventions, and care pathways. It incorporates specialty and sub-specialty norms and requirements to improve usability and value.
- Is optimized so you can create high-quality clinical notes with ease. Our team of clinical documentation experts assess the EHR workflow and templates currently used and identify opportunities for improvement. Put simply, the better the verbalization of the patient encounter, the better the note and less time spent on documentation.
