Tia Deploys Nabla’s AI Assistant to Enhance Women’s Healthcare

What You Should Know: 

– Tia, a health clinic specializing in comprehensive women’s care, has announced a partnership with Nabla, an ambient AI assistant for clinicians. 

– The strategic collaboration aims to enhance patient-centered care by reducing clinical burnout and streamlining medical documentation through the integration of Nabla’s AI technology.

Addressing Disparities in Women’s Healthcare

Tia’s recent “Women’s Integrated Primary Care 2024 Outcomes Report” highlighted significant challenges women face in healthcare. Nearly half of women ages 18-35 reported negative interactions with healthcare providers, contributing to increased mental health issues, decreased life expectancy, and inadequate midlife support. These challenges are disproportionately experienced by women of color and LGBTQIA+ individuals, who often encounter medical bias and limited access to care.

To address these disparities, Tia has pioneered a Primary Care ‘Plus’ model that integrates primary care, reproductive health, mental health, and wellness services. A cornerstone of this model is “relational care,” which emphasizes active listening and shared decision-making between patients and providers. However, excessive documentation requirements can detract from these crucial interactions.

Successful Pilot and Expanded Implementation

A two-month pilot program involving 30 Tia providers across seven specialties, including gynecology, acupuncture, psychiatry, preventative medicine, and primary care and family medicine, demonstrated the effectiveness of Nabla’s AI assistant. Providers reported a 50% reduction in the time required to submit clinical notes after appointments.

Following the successful pilot, Tia has expanded Nabla’s use across all its clinics and markets, integrating it into both telehealth and in-person appointments. Currently, over 90 Tia providers actively use Nabla, having generated more than 50,000 clinical notes to date.

Tia joins Nabla’s growing roster of mission-driven health systems, including Catalight, Denver Health, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, and University of Iowa Health Care. Nabla is now deployed in over 100 provider groups.

“Improving provider-patient interactions is at the heart of Tia’s mission,” Felicity Yost, Tia co-founder and CEO. “We want our providers to feel inspired by their work and deeply connected to their patients and not buried in administrative tasks. Nabla has given them back that time, allowing us to stay true to our values of gender equity and patient-centered care.”
