documentation solutions to reduce providers' administrative
workloads and enable more face time with patients during visits

BOSTON, July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Nabla, the leading ambient AI assistant for
clinicians, today announced its newest partnership with Carle
Health, an Illinois-based
Health System. After a successful four-week pilot program with
participants across family medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, and
other practice areas, Nabla's ambient AI assistant will roll out to
Carle Health's Illinois-based
multi-specialty physician group practice. It will then be gradually
implemented throughout the year to 1,500 Carle Health providers,
including emergency rooms and hospitalists.
Regardless of specialty or practice area, physicians spend
an average of 15.5 hours each week on paperwork and administration,
with nine of those hours dedicated solely to electronic health
record system (EHR) documentation. Clinical documentation diverts
clinicians' attention from direct patient interactions and adds
nearly six hours per week onto their "pajama time" workload—or
time spent in the EHR after standard hours and on the weekend.
"Nabla fits seamlessly into our workflows, and thanks to the
onboarding support and training we received throughout the pilot
program, we started seeing results immediately," said Dr.
David Lovinger, Associate Chief
Medical Officer and Chief Informatics Officer of Carle Health.
"Nabla enhanced the patient experience at our pilot sites by giving
our providers more face time with their patients, knowing that it
was doing the heavy lifting for charting. We look forward to
rolling Nabla out to additional practice groups and feel confident
in the results we'll continue to achieve."
Carle Health is utilizing Nabla's standard templates and
features, including its telehealth integration and multi-speaker
functionality. Over 50% of Carle Health clinicians reported saving
at least one hour or more per day in documentation work during the
pilot program. Nabla is set to smoothly integrate with Carle
Health's EHR system, Epic. Clinicians will use the integrated
version of Nabla within Epic on their desktop or mobile phone,
avoiding multiple back-and-forths between Epic and Nabla. Nabla
aims to automatically pull relevant patient data from the Epic
chart to better inform the note, and the note generated by Nabla is
expected to be exported in one click to Epic without the need for
manual copy and paste. Finally, Nabla is designed to suggest
updates to the patient's problem list, such as when a new diagnosis
is made during the visit.
"Our joint efforts to implement this Epic-integrated roll-out
ensures clinicians at Carle Health can experience the full value of
Nabla," said Alex LeBrun, co-founder
and CEO of Nabla. "We're thankful to partner with future-forward
medical groups in the Stratum Med network, which share our
dedication to restoring joy to providers through technological
innovations."
Carle Health joins a growing community of innovative health
systems and provider groups, including Children's Hospital Los
Angeles and Mankato Clinic, to deploy Nabla's ambient AI
assistant.
