Alpine Physician Partners and Ambience Healthcare Team Up to Save Clinicians More Than 3 Hours Per Day to Focus on Patient Relationships

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Alpine Physician Partners today announced its plans to implement Ambience Healthcare’s clinical AI technology that supports scribing, coding, CDI, and patient summaries. Following a successful trial, clinicians at Alpine were able to save an average of 3.4 hours per day on documentation – giving them more time to focus on the patient-doctor relationship.

As a growing medical group whose mission is to transform senior care and restore joy of practice, Alpine wanted to give providers more time to focus on the patient relationship by reducing the burden of documentation with the electronic medical record (EMR).

“There’s clear evidence that a better doctor-to-patient relationship can improve a patient’s overall health,” said Chan Chuang, MD, FACP, FCCP, Alpine President. Chan also expressed, “Alpine is founded on the principle of fortifying the sacred bond between the clinician and patient, supporting the transition of the care model toward value-based care. Clinicians are under tremendous pressure to address the multiple and often complex needs of patients with limited time. With Ambience, our clinicians can focus 100% on providing compassionate care to their patients instead of focusing on their computer screen, ultimately allowing them to practice at the top of their license while capturing necessary information without having to take their work home.”

Clinicians at Alpine rigorously tested a variety of AI scribe vendors before ultimately deciding on Ambience as their partner of choice. During the pilot, clinicians at Alpine achieved industry-leading results, including:

• 3.4 hours per day of time savings on charting
• Significant increases in documentation accuracy
• A 32% reduction in feelings of burnout on the Maslach Burnout Inventory
• 90% utilization rate per clinician within 3 weeks

“Improving efficiency in healthcare isn’t just about increasing patient access and visit volume,” said Lina Hodac, Vice President, Clinician Experience, at Alpine Physician Partners. “We’re investing in a culture that values and compassionately supports our clinicians and our patients. We believe that every interaction counts and can help improve overall outcomes. To that end, our Ambience partnership will reduce burnout, help providers better communicate and connect with their patients, and ensure clinicians are able to seamlessly document the interactions.”
