The Problem

Orthopedic practices move fast, but documentation doesn't keep up.

Providers spend hours charting after the clinic, managing complex cases, surgical procedures, and detailed compliance requirements. That gap costs you:

Laterality errors that trigger denials or rework
Repetitive injection notes for every joint, drug, and lot number
Prior auths stalled by missing conservative-care history
Undocumented decision for surgery, so modifier 57 goes unsupported

Stressed healthcare professional sitting at a desk with multiple monitors displaying complex data and reports.

The Solution

Athelas Ambient AI works quietly in the background so you don't have to think about documentation at all.

Using advanced speech recognition and AI, it captures the full patient encounter and turns it into structured, compliant notes in real time.

Notes that go straight to work

What You Get

Accurate Coding, Every Time

Every encounter is captured and structured without manual input, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Notes are completed during or immediately after the visit. No after-hours catch-up.

Seamless EHR Integration

Notes sync directly into your system. Your team keeps their existing workflow.

Real-Time Coding Support
