Real-time voice charting is saving nurses time and improving the timeliness of documentation in early pilot results at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Epic) and BayCare Health (Cerner). Cedars-Sinai began testing Aiva’s Nurse Assistant mobile app in December, followed right afterwards by BayCare, and both pilots have now expanded unit-wide.

The conference keynote was delivered by Peachy Hain, Executive Director of Nursing at Cedars-Sinai, and Ryan Trias, MSN, RN, CMSRN. Hain shared how technology like the electronic health record (EHR) has taken over patient care, forcing nurses to spending hours in front of a keyboard:
“We actually have saddled our nurses with a growing list of equipment and technological systems they have to use all day long, and most of them are siloed with their own interfaces, logins, keyboards, touch screens and navigation processes.”

Hain pointed to the problems that EHR documentation creates or exacerbates for nurses and health systems across the country:
“It became clear to me that we nurses needed to get out there and find our solutions to reduce administrative burden on our staff,” she continued. “Last year I reached out to our voice, partner, Aiva health. And with a tremendous support from our enterprise information system comrades, we partnered to harness this transformative technology.”

Trias described how Cedars-Sinai launched a limited pilot in a medical-surgical unit mid-December and then went unit-wide January 20th. The expanded pilot involves 90 RNs and 33 Clinical Partners, or nursing aides.
To begin with, 50 of the most frequently used rows in the Epic EHR were voice enabled. Nurses were trained to press a button in the app, speak (or text) their observations into the app, review what Assistant says it heard, crosscheck patient identifiers and then either press Accept to confirm that observation, press Reject to start over or tell Assistant to change particular values.

“A single command can document across multiple rows, or even different flow sheets from anywhere in the hospital,” Trias noted, “streamlining the process further and saving valuable time.”
Trias and Hain shared some data and feedback from the first 2 weeks of the pilot, when nurses logged thousands of interactions with Assistant:

For Trias, the real-time nature of voice charting was critical: “these interactions take just 7 to 10 seconds, significantly reducing the time spent on manual entry. This means nurses spend less time in the patient record, and critical data is available for clinical decision-making almost instantly.”
The Cedars-Sinai team shared operational KPIs for the expanded pilot that started this month. In addition to faster charting and instant access to key patient data, goals include increased documentation compliance, nurse satisfaction and reduced overtime. Hain mentioned that a few participating nurses had logged no OT during the pilot, although it's too early to know if that trend will hold.

“We're not just looking at the numbers,” Trias continued. We're listening to the voices of our nurses and clinical partners. Their perspective is invaluable in assessing whether the technology is truly making a difference, because their voices tell the real story.
We're delighted to share their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Aiva Nurse Assistant is already making meaningful impact.”

One CP said “this is easily saving me 1.5-2 hours per shift”, while another just called it “a lifesaver.” A nurse manager was impressed that in the time it usually took him to just badge into the EHR on a workstation, he was already done documenting with Aiva.
In Trias’s view, “It demonstrates how assistant can streamline workloads, improve efficiency and give nurses back valuable time to focus on delivering that high quality patient care.

The improvement in documentation timeliness was reiterated by Andre Arsinian, a Data Intelligence Analyst II at Cedars-Sinai. “You could right away see the effect that Aiva has when it went live. Our delay from observation to documentation dropped drastically. It's almost an inverse relationship.”
Looking forward, Trias said, “This is just the beginning. A true assistant should go beyond documentation, redefining the way we deliver patient care. Imagine a tool that can instantly retrieve lab results with a simple voice command, adjust patient room devices like televisions anywhere in the hospital, help with language translation, or just quickly provide answers to hospital policies and procedures. Ava nurse assistant is that trusted partner supporting frontline staff, who dedicate themselves to delivering high quality care to our patients every single day.”

Following Hain and Trias’s keynote, they were joined by other members of the Cedars-Sinai pilot team and three team members from BayCare Health, a 16-hospital health system located in the Central Florida and Tampa area, whose pilot is being conducted at St. Anthony's Hospital:
Asked how voice charting become a top priority for BayCare, Anderson noted that BayCare President and CEO Stephanie Conners is a nurse, “so that role and everything they need is near and dear to her heart.”
“If you can find a way to save 5, 10, 15 minutes per nurse per day, times 10,000 nurses, you really start finding bottom line value. You create that time to free up our nurses so they can spend their time with the patients rather than the administrative work.”

Asked the same question about making voice charting a priority at Cedars-Sinai, Associate CIO Rachel Coren said, “we're all seeing a rapid introduction of AI and ambient technologies that are very focused on physician workflows and reducing burnout, which is wonderful, but we know nurses and other members of our care team also carry a tremendous burden.”
And even as much as we try to reduce the requirements for documentation, we just keep getting more rules and regs that we have to follow. So we're very excited about what we've learned, what we're experiencing and the potential for further opportunities to really help our staff do their job in an easier way.”
