Game changer, It's been great. Workflow is good. Overall excellent experience and it keeps getting better.
I think that this saves me multiple hours per week and at the very least, it has been a big work satisfaction improvement.
It has been great for me particularly in new patients or those with problems that are symptom based. Using the platform allows me to listen to the patient without having to write notes down and my notes are more accurate. It also saves me a lot of time and documenting. It has been a major win for me.
I had 262 open charts. That needed documentation. That was my worst. That was my lowest. That is when I considered leaving medicine. Thanks to Nabla, I’m back in the game... This has actually extended my career at least three to five years.
Nabla fits very well in the Epic workflow. It was the shortest learning curve of any technology that I’ve used and probably the easiest technology I’ve adopted in medicine.
My favorite thing about using Nabla now is the ability to face-to-face, to interact with patients. I don’t pre-chart at all anymore. It’s the best AI that’s been developed, I don’t know why everybody’s not using it.
