NextGen Healthcare, Inc. announced the availability of NextGen?? Ambient Assist, an ambient listening solution that interprets patient-provider conversations in real time to analyze appointments and document care plans at unprecedented speeds. Ambient Assist delivers AI-generated subject, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) notes directly into the electronic health record (EHR) for provider convenience.

SOAP notes have long been used in many specialties to help providers organize their observations and establish a clear outline for patient care. Using Ambient Assist within the NextGen®? Mobile application, providers can save as much as two hours of documentation per day, allowing them more time for patient interactions.

Within 30 seconds of a completed patient encounter, a SOAP note appears for provider review. The AI-driven technology filters for relevant details to create concise documentation of each patient appointment with over 90% accuracy.
