Reducing burnout and improving patient care with ambient clinical intelligence

Feb 28, 2023

In this special sponsored episode, we're discussing how ambient clinical intelligence can improve patient care and reduce clinician burnout. Our sponsor is the Dragon Ambient Experience, or DAX, an ambient clinical intelligence solution from Nuance Communications and Microsoft.

I'm joined by Alfred Atanda Jr., MD, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Nemours Children's Health in Delaware. He is chief of the Center for Sports Medicine and the Chief of Clinician Experience, as well as an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University.

We discuss the challenges of declining physician well-being and the potential solutions to address it. We'll also be discussing the impact of clinical documentation on burnout and how ambient clinical intelligence solutions like DAX can help alleviate these burdens. Join us as we discuss Dr. Atanda's experiences with burnout and clinical documentation and the benefits of using ambient clinical intelligence in their practice.

With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients.

At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
