The Challenge in Healthcare
HCA Healthcare, one of the largest healthcare organizations in the world, operates nearly 180 hospitals and numerous other care facilities. The organization is continuously seeking ways to improve patient care, the clinician experience, and overall care delivery processes. One of the significant challenges faced by HCA is the administrative burden on clinical staff and the potential for errors during patient care handoffs.

Delivering Assignments with Generative AI
The assignly tool we designed prioritized essential details such as medication changes, laboratory results, vital sign fluctuations, patient concerns, and overall response to treatment.
To ensure the tool met the needs of clinical staff, we worked closely with nursing teams to collect feedback and refine the product. Initial tests showed promising results, with nursing staff expressing high satisfaction with the speed, accuracy, and relevance of the AI-generated reports.
Next, we focused on integrating AI into the medical documentation process. By using AI in conjunction with Augmedix, an ambient medical documentation tool, physicians could generate documentation during patient encounters, significantly reducing administrative burdens.
