Today, Abridge, the leader in generative AI for clinical
documentation, announced an enterprise-wide agreement with The
University of Vermont Health Network. UVM Health Network, an
integrated academic health system serving over 1 million patients
in Vermont and northern New York, selected Abridge following a
robust vetting process with 50 primary care providers evaluating
multiple solutions. Clinicians at UVM Health Network have already
been using Abridge’s generative AI solution for 4 months. The
enterprise rollout will soon expand to cardiology, endocrinology,
and other specialties.

"Abridge has delivered spectacular results for our physicians
and improved the patient experience. We’ve eagerly awaited this
day, and there’s no turning back,” said Dr. Jason Sanders, CEO and
President of the UVM Health Network Medical Group. “The superior
quality of Abridge’s AI-generated note drafts made them the obvious
choice by our Digital and Remote Health Committee for ambient
documentation."
Key Results from the Pilot:
- Improved professional fulfillment: Since deploying Abridge,
clinicians’ professional fulfillment increased by 53% based
on the Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index—an
industry-validated measure of physician wellness.
- Significant time savings: Clinicians reported a 60%
decrease in time spent on documenting patient encounters, both
during clinic hours and outside of regular work hours.
- Decreased cognitive load: Clinicians experienced a 51%
reduction in cognitive load, allowing for more focus and
attention with patients.
“Abridge is clinically smart and feels like it has been trained
with clinician thinking. It creates a note that resonates with me,
reading like a clinician wrote it,” said Dr. Alicia Jacobs, family
medicine physician in Colchester, Vermont. “Abridge is the first
thing I've seen that improves provider wellness and relieves
cognitive load, allowing me to be fully present with my
patient.”
"We are thrilled that Abridge was chosen by UVM Health Network
on the basis of the quality of our notes," said Dr. Shiv Rao, CEO
and founder of Abridge. "Notes are critical in every aspect of
healthcare. Abridge generates notes that clinicians can share with
their colleagues, their patients, and their administrators."
This news follows successful deployments of Abridge at UChicago
Medicine, Sutter Health, Yale New Haven Health System, UCI Health,
Emory Healthcare, The University of Kansas Health System, UPMC, and
dozens of other health systems. Abridge recently announced a $150M
Series C financing, which includes a strategic investment from
NVIDIA.
