From Clinician Wellbeing to Coding Compliance: Abridge and CHRISTUS Health

At CHRISTUS Health, a large, integrated system with over 600 locations across the U.S. and South and Central America, Abridge is delivering real impact throughout the organization: From coders to clinicians, Abridge is restoring joy in practicing medicine and changing lives. 

“I actually had our coding educator reach out to me and say, ‘How can we get more of our doctors using Abridge? The notes are so great—it makes the coders’ lives so much easier. We would love for everybody to use Abridge.’” —Dr. Tim Barker, System Medical Director and CMIO of Ambulatory Care, CHRISTUS Health

Documentation intelligence powers deeper understanding in healthcare with complete and compliant notes, from conversation to code.

Clinicians win because Abridge helps them deepen connections—with both patients and their families. 

“My children actually said last year that, at Christmas, one of the best gifts they got was Abridge, because they got their mom back…I never expected that [Abridge] would change my life.” —Dr. Kim Page, Family Medicine Physician, CHRISTUS Health 

The CHRISTUS community as a whole is better off, with clinician wellbeing leading the way. 

“If you ask any Abridge user, ‘what is the most effective thing CHRISTUS has done in the last 10 years for physician wellbeing?’ They would all say Abridge. It wouldn’t even be close.”—Dr. Tim Barker
