Ambience Healthcare

What is Ambience Healthcare?

Ambience Healthcare is an innovative clinical artificial intelligence platform founded in 2020. Focused on the healthcare market, the company develops what it calls the "AI operating system for clinicians," whose primary product is AutoScribe, a voice assistant that automates medical documentation in real time during consultations.

How it works

AutoScribe actively listens to the dialogue between the doctor and the patient (in an ambient manner, without the professional having to dictate commands). The platform's artificial intelligence filters out casual conversation and immediately builds a structured clinical note, tailored specifically to the doctor's specialty (pediatrics, cardiology, psychiatry, etc.), ready to be sent to the electronic health record (EHR).

Key features

• AutoScribe (Ambient Documentation): Transcribes and summarizes the consultation in real time in chart format, structuring hypotheses and treatment plans.
• AutoReferral (Referral Letters): Automatically generates referral letters to other specialists based on consultation notes.
• AutoCDI (Documentation Auditing): Ensures regulatory compliance and correct clinical billing by analyzing records in real time.
• EHR Integration: Connects directly to leading healthcare systems such as Epic, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, and Athenahealth.

Who is it for

• Clinicians and Medical Specialists who suffer from post-consultation typing overload and want to focus more on patient care.
• Hospital Networks and Medical Clinics looking to increase billing efficiency and mitigate clinical staff burnout.
• Healthcare Administrators focused on maintaining high levels of compliance and precise clinical coding.

Pricing
