Abstracts from CIC 2025
AI Encounter Summarization: Early Insights from Clinician-Users
This session explores early clinician feedback on an Epic AI encounter-summarization tool. Based on survey data, clinicians desire a summarization approach that prioritizes high-value information without compromising patient safety. Key concerns included ensuring an efficient workflow and accuracy in AI outputs. These findings underscore the importance of iterative tool development to balance conciseness and completeness to enhance clinical efficiency and care quality. Attendees will gain insights into optimizing AI summarization tools for diverse clinical settings.
Improving Provider Documentation Using Pediatric AutoDx
Provider documentation is essential to hospital operations and clinical communication. Coding queries account for a non-insignificant amount of provider time and effort, increasing provider frustration and dissatisfaction with practice. We aimed to decrease applicable coding queries by 50% and improve ease of practice for 25% of pediatric inpatient providers in Comer Children’s Hospital by June 30, 2024. We adapted the existing AutoDx tool used at our institution for adults to meet the unique needs of the pediatric population. This involved creating pediatric-specific rules, optimizing lookback windows, and accounting for documentation variations. The system was then deployed to inpatient pediatric primary services. The impact of the intervention was assessed by surveying providers before and after implementation, measuring coding queries before and after implementation, and conducting PDSA cycles to improve usage rates of the tool. Pediatric AutoDx implementation resulted in a 58% decrease in coding queries for the relevant conditions. The most significant gains were in rules evaluating laboratory results, such as hemoglobin and electrolyte values. Nearly half of providers agreed that AutoDx improved ease of practice. AutoDx usage steadily increased and then leveled off during the intervention period, suggesting consistent adoption and efficacy of multiple PDSA cycles to improve usage.
Streamlining Drug Administration: The Role of Real-Time Data Integration
The integration of real-time data retrieval for laboratory results and vital signs into the In-Patient Medication Order Entry (IPMOE) system is designed to enhance medication safety and workflow efficiency in Hong Kong's public hospitals. By streamlining access to critical patient information, nurses can make informed medication decisions without navigating multiple systems. This initiative is expected to reduce application-switching time by 500 hours daily, resulting in significant annual savings and improved patient care through timely assessments during drug administration.
A Provider EHR Efficiency Training to Reduce Burnout and Turnover
Developed in 2019, the Super Thrive program is a 3-day off-site EHR efficiency training for ambulatory providers. Our data indicates that Super Thrive is successful in meeting our providers’ EHR educational and efficiency needs. Additionally, we have noted a decrease in attendee turnover rates compared to organizational rates and an anticipated reduction in provider burnout levels. The calculated cost savings due to the Super Thrive program is significant for our organization.
Usability Assessment of the Rooming Navigator using Epic’s Workflow Analyzer Tool
This study evaluates the usability of our EHR’s Rooming Navigator using Keystroke Level Modeling (KLM) and the System Usability Scale (SUS) to establish baseline metrics for redesign. Thirty-five users participated, with results highlighting task durations, screen transitions, and mouse/keyboard actions. High SUS scores indicated general satisfaction, with minimal correlation to task time or experience. Findings establish a foundation for optimizing workflow efficiency, demonstrating KLM and SUS as essential tools for usability assessment in healthcare.
Pilot Study of Ambient Documentation Technology on Provider Time Allocation and Patient-Provider Interactions
Artificial Intelligence (AI) scribes are being widely implemented across the US, however the implications on hospital medicine providers' workflows and patient interactions remain unclear. This pilot time motion study shows that median documentation time of female hospitalists decreased with AI scribe use, whereas there was an increase for male hospitalists. Direct patient care time did not change, however provider eye contact time with patients increased, suggesting improved quality of patient-provider interactions.
