How to Choose the Right Documentation AI

1. Consider Your Practice Size

Solo practitioners and small practices often benefit most from solutions like Nabla or Suki with their straightforward per-user pricing. Health systems should look at Abridge or Nuance DAX for enterprise features like analytics and centralized management.

2. Check EHR Compatibility

Direct EHR integration dramatically improves workflow efficiency. Make sure your chosen tool integrates with your specific EHR system. Nuance DAX leads with 20+ integrations, but Nabla covers most major systems including Epic, Cerner, and athenahealth.

3. Test Before Committing

Most tools offer free trials or demos. Use this time to test accuracy with your patient population, speech patterns, and documentation preferences. Pay attention to how well the AI handles medical terminology specific to your specialty.

4. Verify Compliance

All tools on our list are HIPAA compliant, but check for additional certifications like SOC 2 Type II if your organization requires them. Ensure the vendor's data handling practices align with your compliance requirements.
