ALLIED DIGESTIVE HEALTH ADOPTS SUKI AI SOLUTION TO IMPROVE GASTROENTEROLOGY WORK
Suki , a provider of voice Artificial Intelligence-powered healthcare solutions , announced a partnership with Allied Digestive Health ( ADH ), the third-largest gastroenterology organisation in the US . Comprised of over 200 gastroenterologists , pathologists , anesthesiologists , nurse practitioners and physician assistants , ADH will become a Centre of Excellence for Suki to help set best practices on how AI can most effectively be used in the gastroenterology field . This partnership serves as a significant milestone in achieving the companies ’ shared goals of providing clinicians with cutting-edge technologies to improve care and drive efficacy that lowers organisational costs .
ADH believes in adopting innovative technologies , including using AI to completely automate its coding processes as well as to help identify potential subjects for research studies . ADH has also invested significantly in building a best-in-class digital patient experience that includes online appointment scheduling , billing and more . The organisation plans to continue expanding its suite of AI-based solutions to elevate care , enrich provider experience , and optimise financial performance . With Suki , providers have access to an AI clinical assistant that streamlines time-consuming tasks including documentation and coding ; Suki Assistant is also integrated with ADH ’ s EHR so it seamlessly fits into providers ’ workflows . Over time , Suki will add more capabilities , like being able to answer a wide range of questions , to further alleviate the administrative burden from clinicians .
“ ADH is committed to creating an exceptional experience for the patient and physicians . Suki addresses the immense burnout our physicians feel from inputting data into the EHRs – Suki ’ s integration with our EHR makes that process seamless . As a result , our physicians can focus their energies on patient care , in turn creating a better experience for our patients ,” said Sap Sinha , Chief Operating Officer of Allied Health MSO .
ADH was among the first organisations in the country to use Suki ’ s ambient note-generation capabilities and has experienced significant benefits as a result . Suki ambiently listens to a patient-clinician conversation and automatically generates suggestions for the note , helping clinicians save time so they have more bandwidth for patient care . Early results also indicate strong financial benefits due to a significant increase in encounters billed as E / M Level 4 from E / M Level 3 . ADH ’ s revenue cycle team indicated notes created by Suki were more descriptive , supporting this higher level of coding .
“ I have been impressed with the comprehensiveness of the notes generated by Suki ,” said Dr Arthur Talansky , Gastroenterologist with ADH . “ It captures relevant primary care-related issues that may arise during a conversation with a patient , providing more detail and context to my documentation .” �
