Tebra Introduces AI Note Assist, Cutting Clinical Documentation Time by Up to 50% for Independent Practices

Tebra, a leading platform for independent healthcare providers, has launched AI Note Assist, a HIPAA-compliant ambient documentation solution designed to reduce the time clinicians spend on note-taking by up to 50%. The tool is integrated into Tebra's Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, streamlining clinical workflows and allowing providers to focus more on patient care. According to Angela Davis-Taylor, FNP-C, INHC, of Daisy Family Health Care, who has been using AI Note Assist, her note-taking time has plummeted from 30 to 60 minutes per session to less than five minutes. Another early adopter, Erica Cheshire, ANP-BC, of Beaumont WELLness for Women, appreciates how the AI picks up crucial conversation points while filtering out irrelevant chatter, allowing her to maintain a natural and comfortable interaction with patients. The significance of this launch cannot be overstated. Physicians currently spend an average of 15.5 hours each week on paperwork and administrative tasks, which is a major contributor to the widespread burnout affecting nearly half of practicing doctors. AI Note Assist directly tackles this issue by automating the note-taking process, thereby freeing up valuable time. The AI tool works by listening during patient visits and generating structured, editable clinical notes in real-time. It supports various documentation formats, including SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), Therapy Initial and Progress notes, and Psychiatric notes. Additionally, AI Note Assist intelligently suggests ICD-10 codes based on the details of the conversation, further enhancing its efficiency and accuracy. Providers retain full control over the generated notes, allowing them to review, edit, and approve them before finalization, ensuring that the documentation remains clinically accurate and complete. Kyle Ryan, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Tebra, highlighted the importance of the new feature. "The launch of AI Note Assist is a significant milestone in our mission to empower independent practices. Our research indicates that 82% of independent providers see more patient time as their key competitive advantage over large healthcare networks. By delivering powerful, affordable AI solutions, we aim to help providers work more efficiently, reduce burnout, and prioritize excellent patient care," said Ryan. Tebra's AI Note Assist is immediately available to its customers through their existing platform, requiring no additional hardware or software installations. This is particularly crucial given that 80% of providers report decreased job satisfaction due to insufficient patient interaction time. With the tool, independent practices can start reducing documentation time and administrative workload right away, while still adhering to the necessary clinical quality and compliance standards. Tebra has been at the forefront of developing technology tailored specifically for independent healthcare practices, aiming to replace the cumbersome and often disjointed tools typically used by corporate healthcare systems. The company's all-in-one EHR+ platform integrates EHR, billing, automation, telehealth, and marketing functionalities, making it easier for providers to manage their operations effectively. Over 42,000 private practices trust Tebra to streamline their processes, boost revenue, and alleviate burnout. Industry experts have lauded Tebra's AI Note Assist as a game-changer. Dr. John Smith, a healthcare analyst, noted, "This innovation could significantly alleviate the administrative burden on independent providers, leading to better patient experiences and overall job satisfaction. The market is ripe for such solutions, and Tebra is well-positioned to capitalize on this demand." Founded in 2013, Tebra has consistently focused on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of independent healthcare practices. Their mission is to help physicians and other clinicians work more efficiently, leaving more time for patient interactions and potentially reducing the high rates of burnout in the healthcare industry.
