Abridge AI Pilot Test

This study will evaluate pilot implementation of the Abridge Artificial Intelligence (AI) Platform (Abridge) in UCHealth clinics. Abridge licenses will be deployed to 116 physician and advanced practice clinicians to accomplish the following goals:

• Determine if Abridge meaningfully impacts clinician documentation time and burnout or stress
• Determine whether to scale Abridge beyond the pilot

We will evaluate clinician experiences using Abridge, particularly with regard to documentation time and clinician burnout or stress. Study findings will explore value added in integrating Abridge into clinician practice, and guide decision-making for entering into a commercial agreement with Abridge. This pilot will also inform best practices for scaling Abridge to a broader user base across UCHealth outpatient practices.
