(Wisconsin Radio Network) UW Health plans to quadruple the number of care providers using an artificial intelligence tool.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Madison based UW Health will equip an additional 300 providers with AI transcription technology in the first half of this year.

The technology is an ambient listening tool that can record, transcribe and analyze the discussion between a provider and patient during an appointment and create a draft note that the provider reviews and uses as part of the patient’s visit documentation.

UW’s chief medical information officer Dr. Joel Gordon, said ambient listening gives providers more time to focus on patients while reducing their administrative burden, creating a path for better work-life balance.
