Compassion Meets Innovation: Corewell Health’s Nursing Implementation of Ambient Technology with Abridge

At Corewell Health, simplifying documentation isn’t just a technical goal–it’s a mission to create space for compassion to thrive. In partnership with Abridge, the team set out to transform nursing documentation by bringing ambient AI to the bedside on a busy orthopedic unit.

Join nurse leaders from Corewell Health and Abridge to learn how they launched ambient documentation. From preparing nurses for “conversational care” to navigating change on the floor and engaging patients, attendees will gain tactical insights on readiness, change management, and keys to a successful ambient rollout grounded in real-world nursing practice.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Identify implementation strategies: Participants will be able to describe strategies used by Corewell Health and Abridge to prepare nurses for ambient documentation, including training approaches, change management tactics, and patient communication.
2. Apply readiness insights: Participants will be able to assess their own organization’s readiness by identifying key pre-work opportunities–such as aligning on mission, selecting pilot units, and engaging informatics leaders–that support successful ambient technology adoption.
