The health system is partnering with virtual practice management platform LiveCare Corp. to automate documentation as part of the UC Davis Digital Collaborative for Innovation and Validation, or Digital CoLab.

“Documentation burden is one of the major drivers of provider burnout, and, historically, technologies such as EHRs have led to increased burden and provider ‘pajama time’ on after-hours administrative work,” said Ashish Atreja, MD, CIO and chief digital health officer of UC Davis Health, in a Jan. 8 LiveCare news release. “We’re excited to explore how LiveCare’s technology can reduce this burden.”

The technology aims to garner insights to improve patient care, clinician experience and billing accuracy by interpreting conversations between patients, nurses and physicians in real time.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
