Pittsburgh-based UPMC is expanding its partnership with Abridge, deploying the company’s ambient AI documentation technology across its entire health system.
The AI platform — designed to automatically generate clinical notes from patient visits — is now in use by thousands of UPMC clinicians and is expected to reach more than 12,000 by 2026, according to an Oct. 16 news release from Abridge.
Chris Carmody, UPMC’s senior vice president and CTO, said clinician feedback has driven the system’s rapid expansion.
“Abridge provides accurate notes, freeing our clinicians to fully connect with patients in the exam room while saving time charting in the evenings,” Mr. Carmody said in the release.
The technology is already live at more than 40 UPMC hospitals and 800 outpatient sites, spanning 44 specialties including cardiology, oncology and pediatrics.
