Rush University System for Health is expanding its partnership with Suki, a leader in AI-driven healthcare solutions, to deploy its AI assistant across all facilities.
After a successful implementation last summer, where clinicians from 28 specialties reported reduced administrative workload, the collaboration is now moving toward a full-scale rollout. The AI-powered assistant has demonstrated impressive capabilities, including ambient documentation, clinical coding suggestions, patient summaries, and Q&A functionalities. This initiative aims to streamline workflows and allow medical professionals to focus more on patient care.
Next-Gen AI Dictation Embedded in Epic
Rush and Suki are also co-developing an advanced AI-powered dictation feature integrated within Epic, Rush’s primary electronic health record (EHR) system. This integration will merge ambient and dictation technologies into a single, cohesive solution, enhancing adoption and efficiency across healthcare networks.
According to Briana Rygg, Chief Applications Officer at Rush, early trials showed remarkable results: 74% of clinicians reported reduced burnout, and 95% expressed a desire to continue using the AI assistant. She emphasized that this partnership would accelerate the development of innovative functionalities for nursing, emergency departments, and medical trainees.
Boosting Efficiency and Financial Gains
The initial implementation of Suki at Rush led to measurable improvements:
- A 10% increase in patient encounters, improving access to care and generating additional revenue.
- A 5% rise in Level 5 coding accuracy, resulting in an estimated $202 in additional revenue per user per month.
Nurse Practitioner Fiona Lynn highlighted the AI assistant’s impact: “On average, it saves me two hours of charting per day, allowing me to focus on patient communication and results analysis.”
A New Era of AI-Powered Clinical Documentation
Voice-to-text solutions have long played a role in reducing documentation burdens in healthcare. However, the fusion of dictation and ambient AI technology is a game-changer. With Suki’s advanced AI, clinicians can refine dictated text and streamline documentation, significantly cutting down after-hours administrative tasks.
Industry-Leading Adoption and Scalability
Suki’s AI assistant has achieved adoption rates twice as high as similar AI solutions within major EHR systems. The tool supports a wide range of documentation capabilities, including:
- Ambient documentation
- Problem-based charting
- Automated coding suggestions
- Comprehensive patient summaries
Suki Assistant is fully compatible with leading EHR providers such as Epic, MEDITECH, Oracle Cerner, and more. It also functions seamlessly across multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Web, and Chrome extensions.
Shaping the Future of AI in Healthcare
This latest expansion follows Suki’s recent advancements in AI, including its collaboration with Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, making it the first end-to-end clinical AI assistant. As AI continues to redefine healthcare, this partnership represents a crucial step toward enhancing operational efficiency and improving clinician well-being.
