San Francisco- April, 2024- In a significant move to streamline healthcare workflows and allow clinicians to focus on patient care, Augmedix, a leader in ambient AI medical documentation and data solutions, announced that it has integrated with Andor Health, an AI-first cloud-based communication and collaboration platform for virtual care.
Moreover, The alliance aims to harness the power of ambient documentation to transform the clinician-patient interaction landscape in mission-critical virtual care settings. As part of this collaboration, Andor and Augmedix will integrate physician clinical note creation directly within ThinkAndor® Virtual Visit capability for ambulatory with an AI-generated note available seconds after the virtual session.
Andor Health is changing the way care teams connect and collaborate with AI-instrumented and tailored workflows. At scale with health systems in the US, UK, and Canada, Andor Health’s AI-first platform, ThinkAndor®, delivers real-time actionable intelligence from electronic medical records, streamlining communication and collaboration workflows, accelerating treatment times, reducing clinician burnout, and fostering superior patient outcomes.
However, Augmedix, with its industry-leading platform, transforms natural conversations into organized medical notes, structured data, and point-of-care notifications. Renowned for liberating clinicians from administrative burdens, Augmedix uses ambient AI to create medical notes from clinician-patient conversations in various care settings, ultimately aiming to improve clinical, operational, and financial outcomes.
“This integration demonstrates Augmedix’s commitment to serve the broadest spectrum of specialties and care settings within the market,” said Manny Krakaris, CEO of Augmedix. “The Andor-Augmedix approach is focused on unobtrusive integration wherein the ambient documentation is part of the native virtual workflow and end-user experience paradigm. Deep integration will also enable optimized upstream audio ingestion that generates the highest quality downstream note output quality scores.”
“Andor Health, recently named the highest-rated Virtual Hospital Solution by BlackBook, is focused on helping health systems improve and accelerate clinical outcomes,” said Raj Toleti, CEO of Andor Health. “This integration with Augmedix will expand Andor’s flexibility to bring leading in-market capabilities that health systems already use into the virtual provider and patient experience. We believe health systems should have the option to leverage leading solutions for NLP-driven clinical note curation and to discreetly post those notes into the medical record without disruption for the clinical user via ThinkAndor®.”
