The healthcare IT research firm has now published its findings in a first‑of‑its‑kind report entitled 2022 KLAS Emerging Solutions Top 20—and we’re proud to announce that Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience® (DAX) was ranked #1 for improving the clinician experience.
The antidote to the burnout pandemic
Burnout has long been an issue that has plagued frontline healthcare workers. Unfortunately, with a growing physician shortage, (90k predicted by 2025) and aging population, (83.7M people 65 years or older by 2050) the problem is expected to persist. But there’s much that can be done to offset the problem. AI‑driven technologies, such as ambient clinical intelligence, can dramatically decrease administrative burdens to restore quality of life and the joy of practicing medicine.
Scale and efficiency—why AI makes more sense than medical scribes
As clinical documentation demands have increased, so has frustration and burnout among medical staff. On average, physicians spend twice as much time documentation care as they do delivering it. Medical scribing programs may offer some initial relief, but to really alleviate this burden, organizations are turning toward less intrusive, more sophisticated solutions that scale to their needs and work with their workflows.
Boost clinician satisfaction and reduce burnout in neurology
Burnout has long been an issue that has plagued frontline healthcare workers. It’s a particular problem in neurology, where clinicians report the highest rates of burnout and the lowest rates of job satisfaction in the healthcare industry. But AI-powered ambient clinical intelligence solutions can dramatically reduce the administrative burdens that lead to burnout, helping neurologists restore their quality of life.
