Meditech is partnering with Suki to integrate ambient listening and generative AI into its EHR software to speed up clinical documentation and other administrative.

This year, HCA Healthcare and Google Cloud have expanded their partnership by exploring ways to integrate Google’s generative AI into HCA’s workflows. The most developed project under this initiative is a pilot that began in February in which HCA’s emergency department physicians are testing a voice-enabled medical dictation tool to save them time on clinical documentation.

Over the past year, Meditech has deepened its relationship with Google Cloud by exploring ways to embed Google's generative AI into its EHR. Some of the use cases the EHR vendor is exploring include an enhanced search and summarization tool that would present clinicians with a longitudinal view of their patient and a tool that would generate predictive summaries of what a patient’s stay might look like at the time of admission.

Innovaccer announced a new suite of healthcare products. It comprises four different solutions — one for answering healthcare executives’ questions about their business metrics, one for automating care planning and documentation, one for generating clinical visit summaries, and one for streamlining workflows at contact centers.

Epic announced that it will integrate Abridge’s clinical documentation tool into its EHR workflow. The startup’s generative AI tool listens to visits and creates a near-instant summary that adheres to physicians’ prototypical note structure.

Health system executives believe generative AI has reached a turning point in the healthcare industry, yet only 6% have a strategy in place.

Amazon recently unveiled HealthScribe, an API that software companies can use to create clinical note generation apps that providers can later adopt. With this approach, Amazon is seeking to collaborate with companies that are building clinical documentation AI apps rather than compete with them. Some think this approach is clever, but others think it does little to facilitate bi-directional EHR integration and create standardization.

Samaritan Health Services is launching a new telemedicine platform in August, allowing physicians to update clinical documentation and review patient medical history within the Epic electronic health records system.
