Clinician Survey: 65% Save Time, 70% Report Greater Focus with Note Assist Actions
It's clear that clinical documentation is about far more than documentation; it's about the hidden burden and resource drain that documentation can impose.Every extra click, every duplicated task, every distraction pulls clinicians further from where they want to be: fully present with their patients.
At Elation, we believe documentation tools should lighten the load, not add to it. That’s why we recently introduced Actions Elation’s newest AI-driven innovation that works alongside our intelligent scribing solution, Note Assist, to connect AI-generated documentation with the clinical workflows that follow.
This isn’t AI for AI’s sake — it’s AI designed to support clinical thinking, restore presence, and return time to the primary care clinicians who need it most. Recently, we asked clinicians using Note Assist Actions to tell us how it’s working for them and based on early feedback, it’s already helping clinicians reclaim one of the most valuable resources in healthcare: time.The results offer both encouraging validation and a clear path forward.
The Results: Time Back, Focus Restored
In a recent survey of clinicians using Note Assist with Actions:
-
65% reported saving 5 to 30 minutes per patient
-
70% said they felt more focused and engaged during visits
For many, those numbers translated into tangible benefits: less stress, more accurate documentation, and the ability to truly be with their patients again:
-
“I experience less stress or burnout.”
-
“My visit documentation is more accurate or detailed.”
-
“I feel more engaged with my patients.”
These are more than efficiency gains — they’re quality-of-life improvements for both clinicians and patients. In a world that constantly asks clinicians to do more with less, even small wins can mean finishing on time, spending more time with a patient in need, or getting a moment to breathe between appointments.
The survey revealed other overall benefits among clinicians who are using Note Assist and Actions: a clear majority reported better patient engagement during visits, while over two-fifths experienced significant time savings per patient. More than one-third of clinicians noted a meaningful reduction in cognitive burden, and over a quarter observed improvements in the accuracy and quality of their documentation.
Feedback That Fuels Our Roadmap
At Elation, our goal is to empower clinicians, and we know that the best way to do that is by building tools that truly meet their needs. That's why we're constantly refining Note Assist and Actions based on direct feedback from the clinicians who rely on it most. We're thrilled by the positive experiences shared so far, but we're also taking important feedback to heart. Clinicians have told us they'd like to see improvements, with the most common requests being to expand the scope of AI, refine note accuracy, and enhance customization and style. Our users’ feedback is invaluable as we continue to enhance Note Assist and Actions, along with other AI solutions.
The Future of Documentation Is Human-Centered
Primary care is too complex, too human, and too important for generic technology. That’s why Elation builds in partnership with clinicians — refining tools like Note Assist and Actions to not only support workflows but also support patient-centric care.
Ultimately, our goal goes beyond mere documentation. It's about fostering connection, ensuring completion, and delivering clarity with every visit. When nothing gets lost in the demands of primary care, your patients receive the best possible care.
