Healthcare provider Lifepoint Health has partnered with iScribeHealth to implement ambient AI documentation for hospitals and its network of providers.

The healthcare technology company was selected for its capability to customise workflows, strong integration with athenahealth EHR sites, and proven results across various specialities.

iScribeHealth’s AI records provider-patient interactions as they happen, creating clinical notes that integrate with current workflows. The solution is intended to alleviate clinician burnout, support patient care, and address documentation challenges.

Lifepoint Health manages a broad network of behavioural health facilities, acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation, and other care sites throughout the US.

The organisation’s adoption of advanced technology underscores its focus on supporting clinicians and enhancing patient outcomes.

iScribeHealth CEO Pat Williams said: “Our partnership with Lifepoint Health reflects what we're hearing from health systems nationwide: clinicians need ambient AI that is deeply integrated, clinically accurate, and immediately valuable.

“This partnership marks an important milestone for us. We're proud to support Lifepoint's providers with a solution that measurably reduces documentation burden and frees clinicians to focus on delivering exceptional patient care.”

Lifepoint Health senior vice-president and chief information officer Al Smith said: “We are pleased to partner with iScribeHealth to bring advanced ambient AI documentation tools to our clinicians.

“This solution will help to reduce administrative tasks, streamline documentation, and allow our providers to focus on high-quality patient care across our system.”

The agreement follows increased adoption of iScribeHealth’s solutions by health systems looking for scalable tools to address clinician workload and administrative requirements.

Lifepoint Health employs nearly 55,000 staff at 60 community hospital campuses, over 70 rehabilitation and behavioural health hospitals, and more than 300 additional care sites nationwide.

In April 2024, Lifepoint Health's business unit Lifepoint Behavioral Health, in a joint venture with Mercy Health-Youngstown, began developing a behavioural hospital in Youngstown, Ohio, US.
