New capability helps clinicians identify and document patient complexity at the point of care, improving care quality, clinical decision-making, and care coordination

Ambience Healthcare, the leading AI platform for documentation, coding, and clinical workflows, today announced a significant expansion of its Inpatient Care Setting offering with an AI-powered Conditions Advisor. This new capability helps clinicians capture the full complexity of their patients' conditions at the point of care, leading to more comprehensive care, better clinical decision-making, and improved care coordination.

Healthcare faces a perfect storm: patient complexity is rising, the volume of clinical data is growing exponentially, and data resolution continues to increase. Yet the clinician’s goal remains unchanged—to provide the best, highest-quality care while ensuring documentation accurately reflects total patient complexity. The challenge is that critical secondary diagnoses often remain hidden among vast amounts of chart data, limiting clinicians' ability to provide truly comprehensive care.

“Today's clinicians need to capture not just the principal diagnosis for admission, but all conditions impacting the health and well-being of the patient," said Will Morris, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Ambience Healthcare. "Clinicians are managing complex conditions, but don't always have time to review extensive chart data. Our goal is to help them deliver better care by bringing the most relevant clinical information to their attention.”

How It Works: Evidence-Based Clinical Intelligence

Built to integrate seamlessly into inpatient workflows, the Conditions Advisor analyzes the complete patient record, including data available from outside hospital records, to surface clinical signals and evidence that support potentially missed diagnoses. For example, it might highlight progressive weight loss in a cancer patient that could indicate cachexia, or flag evidence of conditions that warrant clinical evaluation.

By surfacing this evidence at the point of care, the tool helps clinicians provide more comprehensive care while creating documentation that accurately reflects patient complexity. This leads to better care coordination, more accurate clinical data, and better patient outcomes.

Key features include:

• Longitudinal data synthesis: Analyzes the complete patient record to identify clinically significant patterns and surface linked evidence needed to render the best care
• Workflow integration: Supports clinicians before, during, or after visits, adapting to different practice patterns without detracting from clinical workflows
• Clinician autonomy: Keeps the clinician in the driver's seat to manage, evaluate, assess, and treat secondary conditions, with full decision-making authority
• Compliance-focused design: Seamlessly integrates into documentation workflows, aligned with AHIMA/ACDIS and national standards

A Compliant, Clinically Focused Design

Every aspect of the Conditions Advisor is designed to ensure each patient's record reflects comprehensive accuracy in a compliant, clinically focused manner, aligned with American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and Association of Clinical Documentation Integrity Specialists (ACDIS) standards and national guidelines.

"We've built Ambience to uphold the highest standards of compliance and clinical integrity," said Nikhil Buduma, CEO and Co-Founder of Ambience Healthcare. "When we help clinicians capture complete diagnoses at the point of care, everyone benefits—patients receive better care, clinicians make more informed decisions, care teams coordinate more effectively, and the clinical record accurately reflects true patient complexity. This is how true health outcomes are achieved and measured, and how patient safety and quality are properly attributed."
