Native Sunrise solution alleviates documentation burdens and supports patient-provider relationships

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. --(BUSINESS WIRE)

Altera Digital Health, a global health IT leader, today announced the general availability of Sunrise™ Thread AI, a native ambient scribe and documentation assistant that captures patient-provider conversations in real time and automatically generates a structured summary of the visit directly in the Sunrise electronic health record (EHR). This latest AI-powered advancement in the Sunrise platform is designed to strengthen human connection in care delivery, reduce manual data entry and improve documentation accuracy.

Administrative tasks often limit the time providers can spend with patients and lead to after-hours documentation that contributes to burnout and dissatisfaction. Sunrise Thread AI addresses these challenges by seamlessly capturing, transcribing and interpreting clinical encounters, from desktop or mobile devices, so providers can stay fully focused on patient care.

“Documentation has long been a major source of frustration for providers, and our goal was to ease that burden—without introducing new technology distractions,” said Dr. Laura Kohlhagen, Chief Medical Officer for Sunrise, Altera Digital Health. “To deliver true value to our clients and relief to their clinicians, we built these automation capabilities directly into the workflows they already know. Sunrise Thread AI helps quiet the noise and restore the patient-provider connection that is essential to improving outcomes and experiences for everyone involved.”

After each encounter, clinicians can review and edit the automatically generated note within native workflows, ensuring flexibility, control and accuracy. By reducing manual data entry, Sunrise Thread AI helps decrease documentation errors that can affect care quality and compliance. The solution also includes conversation governance tools, allowing clinicians to edit for accuracy and clarity, with complete auditability to support compliant documentation and appropriate reimbursement.
