Benefits
An unmatched solution for a common goal
Harness the power of AI(Open a new window)
Automated encounter prioritization and worklist management lets highly skilled CDS staff spend less time searching through charts. Documentation guidance at the point‑of‑care makes it easier for physicians to capture patient stories and avoid rework. Clinicians working together without limitations means more time to focus on quality improvement initiatives.
Leverage our clinical expertise
There's a reason why 85% of Nuance clients achieve the highest quality ratings in the industry. Nearly 30 years of experience puts proven, clinically‑focused documentation strategies and the knowledge to use them in your hands.

Configurable
CDE solutions allow the flexibility to personalize workflow as well as establish uniformity for how the team prioritizes their work day, develop and sort worklists, identify opportunities to initiate clarifications and tailor communications with physicians according to each patient's situation.
Efficient
Productivity is crucial and adding headcount may not be an option. With encounter prioritization, you can use the power of AI to focus on the cases that most affect quality and reimbursement. Your CDS will pinpoint opportunities faster, quickly find the clinical source of the evidence, and help you protect against denials. Encounter prioritization, automated workflows, intuitive navigation, built‑in MS and APR‑DRG groupers and quick access to reference materials save time and let your team expand case coverage.
Collaborative
Physicians and CDI teams work more closely through clinically‑focused clarifications and visibility into actions taken on automated advice. Case management and quality teams have concurrent insight into working DRGs, length of stay and HIM and coding teams can collaborate on final DRG reconciliation.
Evidence‑based
Clinical strategies and guidance help uncover opportunities to engage physicians in a clinical dialogue about each patient and identify diagnoses based on the clinical evidence in the medical record. Documentation accurately reflects patient diagnoses, procedures and co-morbid conditions that are important to determining appropriate reimbursement and risk-adjusted quality ratings. And specific evidence‑based documentation reduces delays in the billing cycle and improves the process for managing denials.
