Ardent Health is using an artificial intelligence tool to reduce the documentation burden of physicians.
In this episode of HL Shorts, we hear from Bradley Hoyt, MD, CMIO at Ardent Health.
Physicians working in the EHR during their time off, particularly pajama time, is a concern at Ardent Health, according to Hoyt.
"It happens all the time," Hoyt says. "It's just the way things are. I did it for years."
There is a primary consequence of physicians working in the EHR during their time off, Hoyt explains.
"It is increasing burnout," Hoyt says.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
At Ardent Health, AI ambient listening technology has had the biggest impact on limiting physicians from working in the EHR during their off time.
The health system has adopted Ambience, an AI tool that has an ambient listening capability during encounters between clinicians and patients. After the encounter, Ambience produces a clinical note.
