"Scribe isn't just a tool; it is like having an extra competent hand on the team."
Athelas Scribe transforms the clinical intake process, delivering unmatched results in record time.
Introduction
In healthcare, technology continuously reshapes how care is delivered. The clinical intake process of integrating a patient's medical history into the Electronic Health Record (EHR), remains a time-consuming and tedious task. For scaling health organizations, this bottleneck becomes even more pronounced. Athelas Scribe AI empowers health systems to shatter these barriers, turning hours of manual work into minutes of seamless AI-driven efficiency.
The challenge isn't just the time—it's complexity. With non-standard formatting prevalent in documents, the likelihood of overlooked details increases. Approximately 15% of outpatient consultations have key clinical information missing. This stems from a cumbersome intake workflow. The driving factors of missing information are attributed to staff shortages, disconnects in software, and human error.
The Athelas Solution at Scale
Athelas Scribe is a paradigm shift for documentation, in particular, clinical intake. Athelas Scribe is an easy to implement AI system that assists with medical documentation at scale. Today we are focusing on Athelas Scribe for clinical intake. The process unfolds as follows:
- 1. Patient medical records are sent to the health system.
- 2. The format-agnostic records are integrated into Athelas Scribe.
- 3. Rapid and thorough reviews of a patient's medical history in just minutes, a process that previously took hours.
- 4. The clinical team reviews generated intake data.
- 5. Data format is standardized and synced into EHR, ensuring a seamless + continuous integration with any EHR system
Accuracy is ensured throughout the process with the ability to quickly run double check and show where information was retrieved from. All processing is fully HIPAA compliant and secure environment designed for handling medical information.
Additionally health systems have the autonomy to tailoring the AI to their unique needs, from particular information retrieval to special formatting.
The Value Delivered
Traditionally clinical intake averaged 44 minutes per referred patient. With Athelas Scribe, a comprehensive review is now done in just 4 minutes—an 11x boost in efficiency. As one nurse aptly put it, "Scribe AI isn't just a tool; it is like having an extra competent hand on the team."
These workflow efficiencies resulted in a staggering 21x cost reduction in clinical intake expenses. This eased the burden on clinical intake, which allowed the health system's 17 nurses performing intake to focus their attention to the launch of a new department.
An entire patient record is processed in minutes, freeing healthcare professionals to focus on patient care.
