NextGen Healthcare announced that its AI-driven ambient listening solution NextGen® Ambient Assist is now available to psychiatrists and other prescribers in the behavioral health (BH) space. By transcribing patient-provider conversations in real time and leveraging AI to summarize patient encounters within 60 seconds of an appointment, NextGen Ambient Assist saves medical professionals up to 2 hours of documentation time per day?boosting efficiency and enhancing the provider experience. This latest release is tailored to psychiatric workflows and has been calibrated to recognize and process the nuances of conversations about mental and behavioral health issues. NextGen Ambient Assist is conveniently accessed through the NextGen® Mobile application using the provider?s smartphone. NextGen Ambient Assist never infers medical conditions or circumvents BH prescribers and professionals. Features include: Seamless integration: Once the prescriber reviews the generated visit note and makes any necessary edits from their mobile device, it is delivered seamlessly and securely into the NextGen® Enterprise electronic health record (EHR) for inclusion in the client's records. Clinical context: The solution is familiar with natural, conversational speaking and immediately recognizes medical acronyms, including those unique to behavioral health.
100% technology-based: Zero dependence on scribes with the option of keeping humans in the loop. Complete automation: No extra steps required to copy and paste into the EHR. Auto-deletion: To preserve client privacy, audio and transcripts are never stored or saved. Demonstrations of NextGen Ambient Assist will be available April 15-17 at NatCon 2024 in St. Louis, Missouri. Hosted by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, NatCon is the largest annual conference for mental and substance use treatment professionals. Attendees can visit NextGen Healthcare?s booth (#1511) to experience how the technology works.
