Mount Sinai Introduces Epic's AI Documentation Tool for Nurses

Mount Sinai Medical Center announced that Chart with Art, an AI-powered documentation tool, is now available to its inpatient nurses, making it the first health system in Florida and the fourth in the nation to extend the technology to nursing staff. The tool, developed by Epic, the company behind Mount Sinai's electronic health record and MyChart patient portal, has already been in use by the medical center's physicians.

Using a simple recording, Chart with Art turns a free-flowing conversation into the clinical documentation that guides a patient's care plan. The tool works in both English and Spanish, a meaningful distinction in a community where more than 30 percent of Mount Sinai's patients speak Spanish as their primary language. It lets patients and families speak however they feel comfortable while the technology works in the background. That frees more of a nurse's time, including some of the most sensitive conversations in care, for human connection.

"Our nurses came into this profession to care for people. Chart with Art lets them step out from behind the keyboard and be fully present at the bedside. That presence is where care begins and giving more time back to our nurses is why Chart with Art was implemented," said Wendy Stuart, Chief Nursing Officer at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
