What is the Ambient Assist AI Tool by NextGen EMR Software?

Many healthcare providers and specialists make use of SOAP Notes in the electronic health records software system to enable them to document patient care plans effectively. The NextGen AI solution, Ambient Assist delivers AI-generated SOAP notes into the EMR system to simplify clinical tasks and processes.

Clinical documentation is one of the major reasons which can cause physician burnout. When providers use Ambient Assist which is available in the NextGen mobile application, they can save almost 2 hours every day on tedious documentation tasks. This gives more time to the provider to give undivided attention to their patients during encounters.

Once the patient encounter is complete, the SOAP Note shows in the EHR Software system after 30 seconds so that it can be reviewed. The AI tool is designed to get specific details of every patient encounter with 90% precision.
