Wellsheet Launches a Revolutionary AI Copilot for Healthcare
Wellsheet, a prominent player in AI-driven clinical workflows, has unveiled its latest innovation, the Care Team Copilot. This cutting-edge tool aims to transform the healthcare documentation process by significantly reducing charting time by up to 50%. The Copilot streamlines several critical tasks, such as chart summarization, multidisciplinary rounding, and AI-generated documentation, creating a more cohesive and efficient user experience.
Unlike traditional AI scribes that merely document patient conversations, Wellsheet's Copilot takes a comprehensive approach. It analyzes the entire patient chart in real-time and generates relevant documentation based on the insights extracted. This functionality ensures that medical professionals can focus on delivering quality care without getting bogged down by extensive manual documentation processes.
Dr. Viral Acharya, Medical Director and hospitalist at Ascension St. Vincent's, shares his experience: "What sets Wellsheet's Copilot apart is its ability to hone in on the information I need, tailored to my role. My chart review time has been cut in half and I can instantly access critical data, making care management more manageable." This tailored approach addresses the needs of various roles within a multidisciplinary care team, which includes physicians, nurses, and case managers.
The new AI Copilot features a user-friendly interface compatible with all major Electronic Health Records (EHRs), ensuring that it seamlessly integrates into existing workflows. This EHR-agnostic technology stack allows health system IT teams to deploy Wellsheet rapidly, improving efficiencies and clinical outcomes across multiple platforms.
Among the key features included in Wellsheet's Copilot are:
- - Chart Summarization: This function provides customized clinical views adapted to the user's specialty and usage patterns, organizing relevant data and narrative summaries for hospital stays, assessments, and discharge plans.
- - AI-assisted Discharge Planning: The Copilot offers dashboards that display crucial metrics such as Geometric Mean Length of Stay (GMLOS) and Average Length of Stay (ALOS), along with AI-driven alerts for patients due for discharge.
- - AI-generated Inpatient Documentation: This feature automates the documentation process by reading the full patient chart, thus enhancing workflow in inpatient settings and ensuring that clinicians have access to the data they need efficiently.
The implications of Wellsheet's technology come at a critical time. Research from the American Medical Association indicates that healthcare providers spend a staggering 57.8% of their time navigating EHR systems. Additional studies reveal that care teams often spend an excessive amount of time—averaging 419 minutes—completing charting and discharge processes. With projections from Mercer suggesting a looming deficit of over 100,000 healthcare workers in the United States by 2028, optimizing staff time is of utmost importance.
With Wellsheet's AI Copilot, clinicians can reclaim their time, with reports indicating that charting times have been slashed by 50%. Hospitalists report saving about 90 minutes on inpatient stay documentation, leading to a significant decrease in length of stay—averaging between 12% to 16%—and achieving standardization in multidisciplinary rounds.
"Wellsheet's Care Team Copilot acts as an invaluable member supporting healthcare teams by continuously reviewing patient charts, suggesting care pathways, and drafting documentation on behalf of the providers," says Craig Limoli, CEO and Co-Founder of Wellsheet. "We are proud to introduce this pioneering AI solution that enhances multidisciplinary care across healthcare systems."
Healthcare systems are increasingly pressed to optimize operations while managing the complexity of coordinating multiple vendors. To address these challenges, an increasing number of leading health systems, including Ascension, IU Health, and Concord Hospital Health System, have adopted Wellsheet’s integrated and scalable solutions.
