The initiative, launched in December, leverages Aiva Health’s Nurse Assistant to streamline clinical documentation, according to a Jan. 28 news release. Nurses participating in the pilot use BayCare-issued iPhones with the Aiva Health app to document clinical updates through voice commands. The system transcribes input into secure software, enabling on-screen verification before saving to the patient’s EHR.

Nurses involved in the project reported that the technology eliminates the need to move computers between patient rooms and facilitates real-time charting directly at the bedside.
