OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WellSky, a global health and community care technology and services company, today unveiled SkySense, a suite of artificial intelligence-powered tools designed to increase operational and clinician efficiencies. Providers will benefit from the SkySense extract, transcribe, and summarize tools to automate forms and reduce documentation time and errors, while increasing patient-provider interaction.
The SkySense capabilities include three tools that will assist providers and will be integrated with WellSky’s industry-leading electronic health record (EHR) solutions:
- WellSky Extract—AI-powered extraction of key information from documents and pictures, populating essential data into the EHR.
- WellSky Scribe—AI-driven ambient listening and transcription of patient visits into clinical documentation.
- WellSky Summarize—AI-generated synthesis of the medical record for quick review, quality assurance, and compliance check.
“Innovative technology and connected networks from WellSky are already powering providers’ success, in both achieving quality outcomes and improving business performance,” said WellSky Chairman and CEO Bill Miller. “But we have even greater ambitions when it comes to harnessing the power of AI to help address the real and urgent problems clinicians and caregivers are facing today. While not intended to replace clinical judgment, SkySense functionality is here to help lighten the load for providers, giving them more time to spend with their patients.”
WellSky has been at the forefront of developing cutting-edge solutions that turn data into actionable insights. WellSky analysis found that healthcare providers decreased hospitalizations by an average of 4.4% using clinical and patient data surfaced by the WellSky CareInsights solution. These providers also grew their businesses at twice the rate of home health agencies not using WellSky CareInsights. In addition, the WellSky TeamEngage platform addresses staff engagement and helped one WellSky client reduce caregiver turnover by 20%.
The SkySense suite debuts at a time when providers are facing multiple challenges that impact patient outcomes, including shrinking financial margins, cybersecurity threats, and persistent workforce shortages.
“In this new era of care delivery, WellSky is bringing it all together—quality, innovation, and connection,” said Miller. “SkySense functionality is just the beginning. Our team is working diligently every day to develop new applications using AI in a responsible and secure manner to help make healthcare safer, better, and more cost effective.”
