Maintaining a medical practice means wearing a lot of hats. Seeing patients, handling documentation, and keeping up with admin work, can often lead to providers spreading themselves pretty thin. But what if there were a way to get some of that time back—without cutting corners on care? That’s where ambient AI comes in. By easing the burden of documentation and simplifying everyday workflows, it’s helping providers reclaim up to two hours a day. Here’s how it works—and how it could make a difference in your practice.

What Is Ambient AI?

Ambient AI uses advanced speech recognition and natural language processing to listen to patient-provider interactions, automatically generating clinical notes in real time. Unlike traditional EHR data entry, ambient AI works quietly in the background, capturing key details without interrupting the visit. This technology integrates seamlessly with existing workflows to boost efficiency.

1. Cutting Down Documentation Time

Manually entering notes into an EHR can take hours each day, eating into time better spent with patients or managing the practice. Ambient AI listens to conversations and creates accurate, structured notes, reducing documentation time significantly. Providers using Athelas’ ambient AI report spending less time charting, allowing them to focus on patients and their care.

2. Improving Visit Efficiency

With ambient AI, providers can engage fully with patients instead of typing or clicking through screens. This not only improves the patient experience but also allows for more thorough visits without extending appointment times. Practices using ambient AI often see smoother workflows and more time to see more patients daily.

3. Reducing Burnout and Boosting Morale

Constant documentation and administrative tasks contribute to provider burnout, which can hurt practice growth. By automating note-taking, ambient AI lightens the load, letting providers focus on meaningful patient interactions. Happier providers mean better retention and a stronger practice.

4. Enhancing Billing Accuracy

Accurate documentation is critical for proper billing and compliance. Ambient AI captures details from visits that might be missed during manual note-taking, ensuring claims are complete and reducing denials. This can mean faster reimbursements and improved cash flow.
