At University of Vermont Health, we’re committed to improving the physician and advanced practice professional (APP) experience.
One of the ways we’re doing that is by investing in AI-powered clinical documentation tools like Abridge, an ambient technology designed to reduce administrative burden and help clinicians stay focused on what matters most: their patients.
What Is Abridge and Why It Matters
Abridge uses artificial intelligence to securely record patient visits (with consent) and generate structured clinical notes in real time. Instead of spending hours documenting after clinic, clinicians can complete most of their notes during the visit itself.
This shift is transformative for physician workflow efficiency, burnout reduction, and patient engagement.
A Better Experience for Physicians and APPs
After an 8-week pilot with 50 providers, the results were clear:
60% reduction in documentation time
46% decrease in burnout
53% increase in professional fulfillment
51% reduction in cognitive load
For many clinicians, this means fewer late nights finishing charts and more time for family, rest, and personal well-being.
“Prior to the pilot, there were days when I would have such complex or verbose patients on my schedule that I would end my day with literally only one or two notes done. Now, with this technology, I have the bulk of the notes written”
More Meaningful Patient Connections
AI-powered ambient listening technology also enhances the patient-clinician relationship.
Without the distraction of typing or screen time, providers can:
Maintain eye contact
Listen more closely
Build stronger trust with patients
Patients report feeling more heard and more connected, creating a better experience on both sides of the exam room.
“This is the first thing I’ve seen that truly improves provider wellness and allows me to be fully present with my patient,”
