And while the country enjoys better weather than much of the mainland U.S. on most days, it faces very similar health challenges to those seen in every corner of our nation. For example, according to the Pan American Health Organization, 74 percent of deaths in The Bahamas are from noncommunicable diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancers. Much attention in recent years has centered on the COVID-19 pandemic, which is understandable given the novelty of the threat and the uncertainties faced around the globe. But the reality is that, year after year, most deaths in Western countries are not from novel or unknown conditions but are due to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and a handful of debilitating neurological conditions. However, understanding and analyzing population health data can help transform healthcare delivery.

Their study found that physicians who lack sufficient time for documentation are nearly three times as likely to report symptoms of burnout. That’s why reducing time spent on documentation is essential. This AMA report demonstrates how an AI scribe saves doctors an hour a day from the keyboard. Integrating AI technology into the EHR eases the administrative workload, reduces burnout, increases provider satisfaction, and improves work-life balance. AI functionalities like medical AI scribes allow for more focused, distraction-free patient care. Last year, eClinicalWorks introduced a series of AI functionalities, including Sunoh.ai. AI-powered medical scribe solutions integrated into the EHR, like Sunoh, redefine patient-provider interactions and increase healthcare efficiency. In fact, Sunoh is set to become a go-to technology in modern healthcare. Captures Unstructured Data AI scribe solutions use natural language processing (NLP) technology to understand context and analyze unstructured data to generate real-time documentation. Sunoh.ai uses AI and ambient listening technology to pick up a patient and provider conversation and create a transcript that distinguishes between their voices. The provider can review and import relevant data to complete the clinical documentation.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported on a Pennsylvania-based sustainable-waste processing company, Reworld, that is reclaiming some of the estimated $68 million in coins that Americans toss in the trash every year. It turns out that those pennies, nickels and dimes add up. Reworld has recovered about $10 million in coins over seven years. Clear (and cleaner!) savings through RPA Healthcare practices have even more powerful and more lucrative ways to capture savings — ones that don’t require sorting, washing, and counting small metal discs. That path to better financial health involves applying artificial intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to day-to-day operations. It is among the most financially sound steps any practice can take. Why the money and savings matter As every practice administrator knows, billing costs are enormous. A recent Health Affairs report found medical practices spend about $30 billion annually on billing. That is likely a low estimate, as it is based on data from 2009.

You studied the market and identified a growing need for the services you offer. You chose a great location. You selected eClinicalWorks® and healow® for documentation, practice management, and patient engagement. Your first priority is serving current patients, but you know that long-term success will require growth. Soon, you will face the challenge of attracting more patients. Will you have the personnel and tools necessary to serve them? How will you solve the scalability puzzle? A good option — and a better one You could take the slow and steady route: Be patient, serve your existing patients well, and trust that as your reputation and resources grow, you’ll be able to add staff and patients. That may work, but there’s a better and faster way to achieve scalability. eClinicalWorks and healow offer dozens of innovative solutions. Any one of them can expand efficiency and capacity to some degree, but the combined effect of implementing multiple solutions can truly transform your practice. Continue Reading 18 April, 2024 blog Support Value-Based Care with Sunoh.ai AI medical scribes are becoming important for providers looking to deliver better, cost-effective care. Clinical documentation is the foundation of better healthcare delivery. It ensures continuity and quality of care, allowing healthcare professionals to track a patient’s health journey. Simplifying the documentation process allows doctors to spend less time on manual, repetitive tasks and more time with patients. Value-Based Care Providers understand that each person is unique. Value-based care focuses on the patient experience, quality of care, provider performance, and controlling costs. This is where AI-powered ambient listening technology – like Sunoh.ai – comes in. It is a key component of patient-centric care, helping to facilitate a personalized experience that promotes improved health outcomes for each patient. Sunoh.ai takes care of the clinical documentation, freeing providers to spend more face-to-face time with their patients. According to an article in NEJM Catalyst, physicians and hospitals can level up their coordination through shared data, ensuring that everyone involved in a patient's care has access to the same information. This reduces the duplication of tests and ensures that the treatment plan is appropriate and effective. Sunoh.ai is EHR-agnostic; it integrates with any EHR – including yours. This enhances interoperability, ensures smoother data transitions, and provides more efficient, effective, personalized care, all essential to value-based care.
