LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2, 2024 – Alpine Physician Partners is set to transform its clinical operations by implementing Ambience Healthcare’s cutting-edge clinical AI technology. This strategic move follows a highly successful trial period where Alpine’s clinicians experienced significant improvements in their daily workflows. Ambience Healthcare’s AI is designed to support crucial clinical tasks including scribing, coding, Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), and patient summary generation. The trial results revealed an impressive average time saving of 3.4 hours per day on documentation for each clinician, allowing them to dedicate more valuable time to patient care and strengthen the doctor-patient relationship.
Alpine Physician Partners, a rapidly expanding medical group committed to enhancing senior care and restoring the joy of practice for healthcare providers, identified the heavy burden of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) documentation as a key area for improvement. Their goal was to empower clinicians to refocus on patient interaction, the cornerstone of effective healthcare.
“It is widely recognized that a strong doctor-to-patient relationship is a critical factor in improving patient health outcomes,” stated Dr. Chan Chuang, MD, FACP, FCCP, President of Alpine Physician Partners. “Alpine Physician Partners is built upon the core principle of strengthening the essential connection between clinicians and their patients, while also supporting the healthcare model’s shift towards value-based care. Our clinicians are facing immense pressure to manage the complex and diverse needs of patients within limited time constraints. By partnering with Ambience Healthcare, our clinicians can now fully concentrate on delivering compassionate care, rather than being preoccupied with their computer screens. This allows them to operate at their highest professional level, capturing all necessary information efficiently and without extending their work hours into their personal time.”
Prior to selecting Ambience Healthcare, Alpine Physician Partners conducted rigorous testing of various AI scribe vendors. The pilot program with Ambience Healthcare yielded industry-leading outcomes, demonstrating the technology’s effectiveness and user-friendliness:
- 3.4 hours saved daily on documentation per clinician: Significantly freeing up clinicians’ schedules.
- Enhanced Documentation Accuracy: Improving the quality and reliability of patient records.
- 32% Reduction in Clinician Burnout: As measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory, indicating a substantial improvement in clinician well-being.
- 90% Clinician Utilization Rate within 3 Weeks: Rapid and widespread adoption of the AI technology by clinicians.
“Boosting efficiency in healthcare is not solely about increasing patient volume or access,” emphasized Lina Hodac, Vice President, Clinician Experience, at Alpine Physician Partners. “Our investment in Ambience Healthcare reflects our commitment to fostering a culture that genuinely values and supports both our clinicians and our patients. We believe that every interaction is important and contributes to better overall patient outcomes. This partnership with Ambience Healthcare will play a vital role in reducing burnout, enabling providers to communicate and connect more effectively with their patients, and ensuring seamless documentation of patient encounters.”
