Abridge has announced a collaboration with the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) to enhance clinical documentation and care outcomes using its AI platform. HSS, recognized as the top health system for orthopedics globally, will implement Abridge’s technology to improve care for approximately 200,000 patients each year. The hospital is renowned for treating athletes from over 100 professional sports teams and serves patients from across all U.S. states and more than 100 countries.
Dr. Ashis Barad, Chief Digital and Technology Officer at HSS, commented on the partnership: “Ambient scribing was just the beginning. With Abridge’s foundational AI expertise alongside our orthopedic leadership, we can dramatically elevate clinical note quality, communication, and ultimately, care outcomes.”
The Abridge AI platform aims to manage the complexity of orthopedic surgical documentation by automatically detecting care settings and generating real-time clinical documentation in multiple languages across various specialties.
Answorth Allen, MD, Associate Surgeon-in-Chief at HSS, highlighted the benefits of Ambient AI: “At HSS, Ambient AI is transforming the patient experience by quietly capturing clinical conversations in real time—freeing doctors from screens and paperwork so they can focus entirely on care.”
Dr. Shiv Rao, CEO and Co-Founder of Abridge stated: “We are going a million miles deep on each specialty and care setting to deliver documentation that works as both the perfect clinical artifact and billable note.”
Abridge’s platform is designed to integrate deeply with electronic health records (EHR), supporting numerous languages and specialties while reducing administrative burdens on clinicians.
