Problem

St. Luke's sought to reduce clinicians' documentation burden and improve their experience. It also needed accurate coding to support the cost of the technology.

Approach

The health system deployed Ambience's platform for ambient documentation and real-time coding. Ambience published results attributed to a KLAS study using Epic activity logs and a provider pilot cohort.

Results

41%reduction in active documentation time, from Epic logs as reported by AmbienceVendor case study[1]
36%reduction in daily burnout in a 49-provider pilot cohort, reported by AmbienceVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

The documentation-time measure came from activity logs. The burnout result concerned a pilot cohort and had a different measurement basis.
