Connected Care: Tampa General Hospital Rolls Out Ambient Clinical Documentation to Nurses
Nurses spend a significant amount of time on documentation and working in an electronic health records system, which can contribute to burnout and decreased job satisfaction.
Ambient clinical documentation, powered by artificial intelligence, has been evolving as a solution to support physicians and nurses so that they can spend less time jotting down notes in an EHR and more time facing patients without glancing at a screen.
Last year, Tampa General Hospital deployed Microsoft Dragon Copilot for nurses to streamline workflows at the bedside and reduce time spent on charting. So far, the feedback from the rollout has been positive, and nurses can directly share any concerns to improve the solution.
