More Time for Veterans, Less Typing for Providers
Black Hills Health Care System is introducing ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribe across VA. Ambient AI
scribe is a new tool that securely helps your provider capture notes during your visit — so they
can focus on you, not the keyboard. You can expect:
• More one-on-one time with your provider
• Same high-quality VA care — with a focus on what matters most – your health
Your privacy is always protected, and participation is your choice.
Innovation in health care delivery because our Veterans deserve the very best. To learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdKzyXTEWNw
