Northeast Georgia Health System has become the fifth health system in the country to deploy Epic’s Chart with Art ambient AI tool for nursing documentation.
A pilot group of 15 nurses and two patient care technicians is testing the technology across all five NGMC hospitals. Chart with Art records real-time conversations between nurses and patients and drafts assessments, care plans, patient education notes and other documentation for the nurse to review before it enters the medical record.
“Our goal is to give nurses more time at the bedside,” said Marie DiFrancesco, BSN, RN, chief nursing informatics officer for NGHS, in an Aug. 10 news release.
Patients are told when Chart with Art is being used and can decline participation at any time, the health system said. Every AI-generated entry requires clinician review and confirmation before it becomes part of the permanent record.
