Thursday, December 5, 2024
12-1 p.m. Pacific Time
Virtual Event
The Center to Advance Digital Physician Practice Transformation (ADAPT) is proud to present its first seminar, which will highlight how two institutions are measuring the impact of AI scribes for their clinicians. UC Davis Health and Emory Healthcare will discuss measurement strategies, specific metrics, and early findings. After both institutions' presentations, there will be a Q&A session.
About the Event
"AI Scribe Pilot Outcomes"
Scott MacDonald, MD, FAMIA, FACP, CMIO, and Melissa Jost, MS, PMP, director of Clinical Informatics and Clinician Health and Wellbeing at UC Davis Health will share the outcome data from their pilot of Abridge. They measured impacts on usability, impact on efficiency, wellbeing, utilization, note quality, and system satisfaction. They also looked at the impact on patient experience. Dr. MacDonald and Melissa will share their plans for ongoing monitoring for accuracy and equity in the deployment of the tool.
"Listening for Change: Emory Healthcare’s Evaluation of Ambient AI"
Emory Healthcare will share insights gained from evaluating the impact of ambient listening technology over the past 15 months since their initial rollout. This session will detail metrics and methodologies employed to assess the effectiveness of this technology in enhancing provider and patient experience as well as return on investment. Attendees will be equipped with an evaluation toolkit that can be replicated at other institutions.
