AI-assisted Chart Summarization helped a pulmonologist at a major academic medical center turn a packed clinic day into the first day they finished charting on time.

Every physician meets the same challenge working in an outpatient clinic — every patient is a new patient. And every conversation is a scramble for context on that patient’s history and healthcare journey. Sometimes you’ll find patient record information “on the top of the pile” in the EHR, but more often than not you’re balancing the amount of time you spend in chart biopsy against the amount of time you spend with the actual patient. The average patient record is now over 1,000 pages long, including data buried deep in scanned documents, imaging, labs, and external systems like Care Everywhere and HIEs.
When a pulmonologist at a major academic medical center was asked to step in at a busy outpatient clinic to cover for a colleague, they walked into exactly this kind of situation: a full schedule of unfamiliar patients and no time to prep.
“I didn’t recognize a single name on the schedule,” they recall. “I knew I had to find a way to get up to speed fast — and that’s when I opened Evidently.”
Using Evidently for the first time, with no prior training, the physician was able to quickly orient themselves to each new patient’s clinical history, medications, and key trends spanning the entire patient chart before entering the exam room. “The chart summaries were incredible. I could actually understand the story before I walked in,” they said. Despite a completely packed clinic day, they finished all of their notes on time — something they say has never happened before.
“I literally finished charting on time for the first time ever. Evidently just worked.”
For clinicians walking into the unknown, Evidently turns a wall of data into a clear, actionable snapshot. We’re proud to be a part of this provider’s daily workflow, equipping them with the right insights at the speed of thought so they can tackle a packed clinic day knowing they can focus on care, not chart catch-up.
