Our recent survey illustrates that artificial intelligence (AI) presents some fascinating opportunities for the healthcare industry. AI medical scribes are at the forefront of the latest technological advancements. This brings about a seismic shift in patient care and engagement.

An AI medical scribe is an intelligent intermediary between you—the healthcare provider—and the electronic health record (EHR) system. It records and transcribes your patient visits for you, freeing you to focus on your patients and enhancing engagement rather than focusing on administrative tasks.

More Stethoscope Time. Improved Care.

When you juggle medical and administrative tasks, you have less time to fully engage with your patients. The introduction of AI medical scribes like Sunoh.ai has transformed patient-provider interactions. This technology streamlines clinical documentation, allowing you to give your undivided attention to your patients, building a stronger patient-provider relationship, and improving overall patient care.

“Utilizing Sunoh.ai increases my stethoscope time, meaning I have more time for the physical examination with patients and allows for 100% face-to-face interaction with my pulmonary critical care patients. It has proven to be about 90% faster, saving us up to two hours daily on clinical documentation.”

Provider Satisfaction

A study published in the Journal of American Medicine Association found that doctors who utilized AI medical scribes reported higher job satisfaction and increased patient interaction time. Patients appreciated their physician’s undivided attention and felt more involved in their own care.

Empowering Patients

By freeing doctors from administrative tasks, patients gain more comprehensive and personalized attention. This patient-centric hands-on care can empower patients to be more involved in their healthcare journey, leading to better engagement and improved health outcomes.

By easing your workload, improving the accuracy of health records, and fostering a patient-focused environment, these intelligent tools are elevating healthcare standards.

Adopting AI medical scribes is a significant step towards a modern, more effective healthcare model. By embracing this innovation, we’re acknowledging the importance of strong patient engagement. It paves the way for a healthcare system that centers around the patient.
