John Muir Health and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center were early adopters of AI charting with ambient listening technology. John Muir Health found that clinicians who use it save 34 minutes per day on notes, and physician turnover dropped by 44%. At UPMC, clinicians reduced “pajama time” by nearly two hours each day.

By tracking incidental pulmonary nodules—small spots in a patient’s lungs that are found on scans or x-rays performed for other reasons—Sutter Health doubled its early detection rate for lung cancer, diagnosing 70% of lung cancers at stage I or II when treatment options and survival rates are better.

Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System improved nurse satisfaction and efficiency by involving nursing leaders and front-line staff in EHR decision-making. Governance changes led to time-saving improvements such as turning on flowsheet macros to fill in standard values with one click and device integration to reduce manual documentation, saving 9,000 hours annually. Spartanburg Regional now ranks in the top 25% of Epic organizations for nursing documentation time.

Piedmont Healthcare achieved a 95.8% patient response rate for CMS-required pre-op surveys for hip and knee replacements by creating multiple opportunities to answer surveys, both online and in person, and by assigning clear clinician owners for survey collection.
