Samantha is a virtual assistant that doctors can use to help them with their EHR. NoteSwift in Boston launched the technology last year. Now, athenahealth will be partnering with the AI-powered clinical documentation tool to assist doctors with their charting.
Samantha is actually a lenthy acronym. Semi-AutonoMous adaptive note transcription heuristic algorithm.
This is a lot of words. The goal is to make athenahealth EHR clients more efficient in their documentation in the athenaClinicals electronic health record.
Samantha technology can read the doctor's story, whether it is written or dictated. It uses AI to detect structured data, identify ICD-10, CPT codes and assign them the appropriate SNOMED and CPT codes.
According to NoteSwift the tool inserts the data into the correct fields of an EHR. This saves the clinician up to eight hours per week and ensures accuracy.
NoteSwift announced this week its partnership with athenahealth and made Samantha available to 106,000 of the company's physicians through the athenahealth marketplace.
Wayne Crandall is the president and CEO at NoteSwift. He said that the tool can be used to reduce physician burnout and increase patient contact time.
He said that Samantha's advanced artificial intelligence created the entire patient note on a single screen with just a few clicks.

NoteSwift describes the Samantha technology as a "real time scribe, transcriptionist, and coder" in one. It can be used with Nuance's Dragon Medical or SayIt by NuVoq, or with M*Modal.
