The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In healthcare, physician assistants often juggle reviewing complex patient histories in Epic, referencing clinical guidelines on UpToDate, and documenting care in the EMR. Manually cross-referencing symptoms, drafting notes, and searching for missing labs can eat up 1.5 hours every week. At an average rate of $80/hour, that's over $6,000 a year spent on repetitive tasks instead of direct patient care.

Time wasted

1.5 hrs/week

Every week, burned on work an AI agent handles in minutes.

Money lost

$6,000/year

In salary, missed revenue, and operational drag — annually.

If you keep ignoring it

Delaying adoption means higher risk of diagnostic errors, increased liability, and less time for patients. Burnout rises as paperwork piles up, and missed details can lead to adverse outcomes.

AI Agent FAQ

You can copy summaries and recommendations directly into Epic, Athenahealth, or Cerner. Direct API integration depends on your organization's configuration and may require IT support.

All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and is never stored after your session ends. Always follow your hospital's HIPAA policies when using the agent.

No, the AI agent supports your diagnostic process but does not make final decisions or prescribe treatment. Use its output as a second opinion to inform your choices.

The agent excels with common presentations and guideline-based management. For rare diseases or complex multi-system cases, it can assist with structured chart review but may require additional clinical input.

By automating chart review, suggesting likely diagnoses, and drafting documentation, the agent reduces manual work from 1.5 hours to about 15 minutes per week. This means more time for direct patient care and fewer late nights catching up on notes.
