Transforming American Healthcare Is The Opportunity Of A Lifetime

Ambient scribing gets most of the attention when clinicians talk about AI in the exam room. And for good reason, it’s one of the most tangible, immediately impactful technologies to ever enter clinical practice.

Some providers at Bethany Children’s Health Center were completing notes more than two weeks after the encounter. Referrals waited. Prior authorizations stalled. Billing couldn’t submit.
