FALLS CHURCH, Va. & SAN FRANCISCO — Inova Health, a leading healthcare provider in Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, has chosen Abridge as its system-wide generative AI platform. This collaboration will assist clinicians with clinical conversations to improve their documentation processes.
The partnership aims to equip over 1,000 Inova clinicians with the tools to provide more focused patient visits, saving time and reducing their cognitive load. Inova made this selection following a thorough evaluation of various ambient AI vendors.
Abridge’s AI-powered platform automatically transforms patient-clinician conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time. Integrated with Inova’s electronic medical record, the platform ensures seamlessness and data privacy. The system streamlines the documentation process by generating accurate and compliant notes at the point of care, allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care.
“Inova is committed to driving innovation and enhancing the patient experience by investing in cutting-edge technology that supports our clinicians and safely improves care delivery,” said Matt Kull, Chief Information and Digital Strategy Officer at Inova. “With Abridge, our providers will be able to spend less time on documentation and more time engaging directly with their patients. By streamlining workflows and reducing administrative burden, our goal is to improve the overall healthcare experience for both providers and patients.”
