Augmedix Partners with the National Cooperative of Health Networks Association

Virtual healthcare service and health association partner to reduce the burden of documentation across rural health networks

Augmedix, Inc., a leading digital health platform that offers virtual medical documentation and live clinical support, and the National Cooperative of Health Networks Association (NCHN), a national professional membership organization comprised exclusively of health networks and strategic partners, announced that they have partnered to help 38 rural health networks gain access to better support and resources.

Rural health systems face major challenges recruiting and retaining physicians and ensuring adequate patient access for the populations they serve. The partnership with Augmedix provides NCHN member health networks access to Augmedix’s Ambient Automation Platform (“AAP”). The AAP, which is overseen by medical documentation specialists, converts the ambient conversation between physicians and patients into accurate and comprehensive medical notes in a timely fashion and provides a suite of industry-leading ancillary services beyond the medical note itself.

At the core of the AAP is Augmedix Notebuilder, which incorporates multi-party automatic speech recognition, natural language processing and two-way communication, to generate the medical note. By reducing their EHR documentation burden, physicians can focus on their patients during their appointment and free up time to see more patients, increasing overall patient access.

“Augmedix serves a diverse set of customers, ranging from multi-state IDNs (Integrated Delivery Networks) to small physician practices,” said Manny Krakaris, chief executive officer at Augmedix. “We’re truly excited by our new partnership as it will provide us a direct pathway into NCHN’s vast network of rural healthcare practices across the US.”

Given that Augmedix’s implementation and ongoing services are virtual and cloud-based, Augmedix is ideally suited to serve our members, spread across the nation, often in remote locations.”
