Abridge + UI Health: Early Impact

UI Health, the academic health enterprise of the University of Illinois Chicago, has selected the Abridge AI platform following a competitive, head-to-head evaluation driven by early impact and clinician- and science-led innovation.

UI Health serves a linguistically diverse population of 1.4 million patients annually. Abridge’s automatic speech recognition technology is designed to support multilingual clinicians.
“We prioritize technology that enables the best experience for both our workforce delivering care and the patients receiving it.” —Dr. David Chestek, Associate Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine and Chief Medical Information Officer, UI Health

During a pilot with Abridge, UI Health saw a six percentage point increase in patient scores reported to Press Ganey from 91 percent to 97 percent in response to the survey question “provider explained in a way you understand.”
Abridge will be deployed enterprise-wide across inpatient, outpatient, and emergency care settings, supporting both clinicians and trainees.
