Best in Digitally-Assisted Provider Documentation

2023 Recognition

Find a digital health partner that fits you.

AVIA Marketplace simplifies the vendor selection process with unbiased information and expert insights for thousands of digital health companies and solutions across dozens of product categories. Leverage our precision search tools, third-party ratings and reviews, and organizational Match Score to identify which vendors and solutions are right for you–and spend less time sifting through the ones that aren’t.

What is digitally-assisted provider documentation?

Digitally-assisted provider documentation solutions leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced technologies to deliver real-time support during the documentation process in order to reduce care team burden, improve clinical documentation quality at the point of care, avoid common deficiencies, and ensure accurate coding. 

The vendor landscape encompasses a broad array of solutions with varying levels of human involvement, from traditional in-person scribes to manually document encounters to fully automated AI-driven documentation solutions. Vendors and solutions exist within four overlapping sub-categories: 

  1. Traditional in-person scribe services. These companies provide medical scribes to document clinical encounters, transcribe dictation, and assist with patient throughput. Providers can easily customize documentation to their preferences. 
  2. Virtual/remote scribe solutions. Virtual solutions securely connect providers with remote scribes during clinical encounters to complete EHR documentation in real time. 
  3. Tech-Enabled Human (HITL). Human in the loop (HITL) solutions assist users with tools such as real-time clinical support, natural language processing, and ambient clinical documentation. Providers initiate encounters and some customization options may be available. 
  4. Intelligent Documentation (HOTL). Human out of the loop (HOTL) solutions capture clinical conversations to generate real-time notes within the EHR. HOTL solutions are entirely tech-driven, with no human involvement and minimal or no customization options. 

The above Market Map was created in partnership with the AVIA Insights team. For a view of the landscape inclusive of company self-categorization, see AVIA Marketplace.

Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence have already fueled a wave of new healthcare-grade products, and speed to adoption will continue to increase. But AI will never replace humans in healthcare–it lacks our capacity for critical thinking, empathy, and creative problem-solving. Its real value comes from its ability to reduce burdens, find and analyze information, and augment the provider experience.
