"51 healthcare leaders’ takes on doing more with less"
Becker's Hospital Review
July 2025
Daniel Kortsch, MD, Associate Chief of AI and Digital Health at Denver Health, and Associate Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Colorado, is quoted as physician representation from the state of Colorado in the recently published "51 healthcare leaders’ takes on doing more with less."
From the article:
"One significant way Denver Health redesigned care delivery this past year to serve more patients without adding staff was through the implementation of an AI-enabled ambient solution. [The solution] captures patient-provider interactions in real-time, automatically generating accurate clinical notes with direct integration into Epic, our electronic health record. This innovative approach has dramatically reduced the documentation burden on our physicians, enabling them to spend more meaningful time focused on patient interactions rather than on manual note-taking. Since implementing [the solution], we’ve observed measurable improvements in provider efficiency, a meaningful reduction in provider burnout, and an increase in patient satisfaction. Physicians have reported more eye contact and a reduced cognitive burden during patient encounters, strengthening the overall quality of care and patient experience. At Denver Health, artificial intelligence helps our physicians reclaim face-to-face care time. [This] successful integration has allowed our clinical teams to expand their capacity to serve more patients effectively without the need for additional staffing resources."
