Abridge ambient documentation in outpatient and emergency care
Inova reported more than 1,000 providers using Abridge for ambient documentation
Problem
Inova sought to incorporate AI documentation into clinical workflows while protecting patient information. Its applications also had to meet common governance requirements.
Approach
Inova deployed Abridge as an ambient AI scribe, primarily in outpatient and emergency settings. Providers discussed recording with patients during visits. The health system also piloted ambient scribes in selected inpatient specialties.
Results
Takeaway
Provider adoption established operational use. Inova did not disclose a documentation-time reduction for this deployment.
