AI-enabled value-based care company Navina has released preliminary research showing that adding patient history to ambient scribe technology significantly increases documentation quality.
Navina assessed documentation quality with a subset of the QNOTE clinical note documentation quality instrument, and it assessed completeness on a 100-point scale.
The study uses the two common conditions (diabetes and hypertension) as a proxy for all chronic conditions.
Navina's research found that adding historical context improved documentation quality by 18%.
It also increased the clinical note's completeness score from 40.4 to 82.9 on a scale of 0 to 100.
It suggests that ambient scribes alone don't fully capture necessary context to save doctors time parsing through older patient records nor accurately capture the complexity of chronic conditions.
