A Cost-Effective Solution for Small and Independent Practices
Many young medical students and newly minted doctors dream of running their own small, independent practice. They look forward to putting their knowledge to work, building a great reputation in their community, and making a real difference in the lives of their patients.
Medicine can indeed be rewarding. But practitioners often find themselves juggling patient care with billing and finances, industry mandates, staffing challenges, and the pressures of daily documentation.
Managing a small or independent medical practice means having limited resources. Unlike the depth enjoyed by larger organizations, small practices are truly do-it-yourself operations.
And all those time-consuming tasks can take away from the most important job of all — delivering high-quality care to every patient.
That’s why every technology decision is critical. And it’s why Sunoh.ai, the AI-powered medical scribe, has proven to be such an important asset for practices across the country. Sunoh’s ability to save providers hours of daily documentation time is allowing them to do more of the things that inspired them to become doctors in the first place.
Keep the EHR You Like, and Get More Done
Sunoh uses ambient listening and natural language processing to listen to the patient-provider encounter and create a summary and draft note. That leaves the medical professional free to focus on having an in-depth conversation with the patient, confident that all relevant clinical details will be captured by Sunoh.
Implementing Sunoh is simple, and using it is as simple as asking the patient’s permission to record and then turning it on.
But even the simplest technologies can face complex hurdles before they can be adopted. Regardless of practice size, a provider or staff may be comfortable with their EHR and worry about the disruptions that may come with taking on new technology.
And that’s where Sunoh offers a key advantage. Because it is an EHR-agnostic solution, a practice can begin using it without having to change their EHR.
This compatibility ensures a smooth transition and minimizes disruptions to the practice’s operations.
Reducing Burnout Risks with an EHR-Agnostic Solution
Nice Speech Lady, a pathology and speech clinic based in New Mexico, reported significant reductions in provider burnout and improved work-life balance due to reducing administrative tasks through the use of Sunoh.
“Upon implementing Sunoh.ai, we were amazed by the immediate benefits, quick onboarding process, and how it eradicated the need for extensive training,” said Wilson Nice, owner and speech pathologist at Nice Speech Lady. “The cushion of time between patients allows for efficient data processing, saving us considerable time on documentation. We currently utilize the athenahealth EMR, and part of the appeal of Sunoh.ai is that it’s EHR-agnostic.”
Saving Money with Sunoh.ai
In addition to the convenience and time savings of using an AI medical scribe, small and independent practices can also save thousands of dollars a year.
Some practices choose to go with human scribes, thinking they offer a personal touch that software can’t match, or because they believe a human will do a better job picking up on medical terminology than any machine solution.
But the reality is that today’s AI medical scribes produce highly accurate notes. Providers must, of course, review such notes for clinical accuracy before making them part of a patient’s medical record, but many Sunoh users report that they only need to make minimal edits, if any, to those drafts.
That’s just 5% of a human scribe’s salary for an AI-powered solution that never gets tired, never requires vacation time, and can document more than 30,000 encounters for the same money you would otherwise pay for an in-house or third-party scribe service.

Sunoh.ai creates draft Progress Notes with remarkable accuracy in real time. This efficiency enables providers to focus more on patient care, enhancing the overall patient experience and satisfaction.

Multi-specialty capabilities
Sunoh is not limited to handling documentation for primary care or general medicine. It can manage specialty exams, including dermatology, rheumatology, and vision care. Dental clinics can use Sunoh to handle periodontal charting and other documentation work. Also, behavioral health practices can switch the format from a standard Progress Note to the DAP note used in their specialty.
