Whitepaper: How UVM Health Cut Clinician Burnout 65% in 4 Months

Clinician burnout driven by documentation burden is no longer an abstract risk; it is an operational threat to access, quality and workforce stability.

The University of Vermont Health, the largest health system in Vermont, faced rising burnout rates and mounting frustration tied to EHR documentation. Serving a largely rural population across primary and specialty care, leaders needed a solution that improved clinician well-being without forcing productivity mandates or compromising training.

This KLAS Arch Collaborative case study details how UVM Health approached ambient documentation through a clinician-led, data-driven rollout. After a vendor-neutral pilot, the organization scaled the technology across primary care, specialty practices and residency programs, guided by provider governance and continuous measurement.

Within four months, self-reported burnout dropped from 69% to 24%. Clinicians described a renewed ability to be fully present with patients, while visit volumes increased organically without top-down mandates. Governance remained clinician led, with ongoing measurement using HER data, surveys and patient feedback to sustain gains.

The study offers health system leaders a practical, evidence-based example of how addressing clinician experience can translate into measurable improvements across the organization.

Key takeaways:

  • How UVM Health reduced burnout by 65% using KLAS-validated metrics,
  • Why clinician-led governance was critical to adoption and trust,
  • How ambient documentation supported organic productivity gains, and
  • Lessons for scaling across rural clinics and training environments.

Webinar: Cyber Resilience is No Longer an IT Strategy. It is a Patient Safety Strategy, March 20

Webinar: Cyber Resilience is No Longer an IT Strategy. It is a Patient Safety Strategy, March 20

When healthcare systems go down, care does not pause. It degrades.

Downtime shifts clinicians to paper. Medication workflows slow. Access controls change. Communication patterns fracture. In pediatric environments and high acuity settings, even short disruptions carry real risk.

Cyber resilience used to be about restoring servers. Today it is about restoring trust.

Speed of recovery is no longer the only metric. Confidence in recovery is the difference between clinicians resuming care immediately or second guessing every data point on the screen. If physicians and nurses question the integrity of the record care delivery hesitates. And hesitation in healthcare is expensive.

Ransomware attacks and system outages are increasing across the industry. Boards are asking harder questions. Can we prove our backups are clean? Have we tested a full clinical restore? What is the real downtime tolerance for our most critical systems? Not theoretical numbers. Real ones.

We challenge the traditional approach to cyber resilience and examine why the next evolution is operational, not just technical.

We will explore:

  • Why recovery confidence is emerging as a core patient safety metric,
  • How data integrity directly influences clinician behavior after an event,
  • What leading healthcare organizations are rethinking about governance and testing, and
  • Why tools alone will not protect care delivery.

The reality is simple. Technology does not create resilience. Operational discipline does.

If your organization believes resilience is handled because backups exist, this conversation will likely shift that assumption.

Cyber resilience is no longer a back-office issue. It is front line risk management.

Webinar: CDI + AI at Cape Fear: An Integrated Blueprint for Clinical Excellence and Revenue Integrity, March 24

Hospitals deliver complex care every day – but when documentation, coding and revenue cycle teams operate in silos, financial and quality performance suffer.

Incomplete documentation, reactive CDI workflows and disconnected systems can lead to case mix inaccuracy, preventable denials and delayed reimbursement. At the same time, clinicians face mounting documentation burden that limits engagement and productivity.

Cape Fear Valley Health took a different approach.

By integrating AI-enable CDI and revenue integrity capabilities into everyday workflows, the health system built a model that connects clinical care with financial stewardship. AI-powered prioritization, evidence sheets, auto-suggested DRGs and advanced code sequencing help teams reason across the full patient record, surface documentation opportunities and strengthen performance before claims are submitted.

Attendees will learn:

  • How to operationalize AI across CDI, coding and revenue integrity workflows,
  • Ways to improve case mix accuracy while easing clinician burden,
  • How proactive safeguards can help prevent denials and revenue leakage, and

Whitepaper: 3 Essential Steps to Improve Medical Device Cybersecurity

Data breaches and ransomware attacks are costing the healthcare industry billions every year. Despite growing attention to this area, health systems have a significant gap in their potential cyberattack surface: network-connectable medical devices. These assets are already prevalent in clinical settings, and their footprint continues to expand with the increasing adoption of technology-driven patient care. Without accurate and detailed inventory visibility and established processes for managing vulnerabilities, healthcare organizations cannot effectively understand or address the associated risks of these assets. By compiling a reliable inventory, improving alignment between IT & HTM workflows, and establishing consistent criteria for measuring risk, health systems can better protect their investments in medical devices as well as improve safeguards for patients.

Learning points:

  • Identify common challenges to assessing healthcare cybersecurity risk posture.
  • List valuable risk factors to track and evaluate when prioritizing cybersecurity projects, and
  • Understand how consistent processes contribute to an efficient cybersecurity strategy.

Whitepaper: The Critical Balance: How Hospital Medicine Aligns Patient Acuity and System Capacity to Protect Access to Care

American hospitals face an unprecedented convergence of crises threatening patient access to care. Hospital occupancy has surged to 75% – an 11-percentage-point increase from prepandemic levels – and is projected to reach a critical 85% threshold by 2032. At the same time, observation patient volumes continue to rise while inpatient days decline, and health care faces a projected shortage of 187,130 physicians by 2037.

These challenges are not isolated problems – they are interconnected symptoms of a health care system struggling to balance two fundamental imperatives: acuity management and capacity management.

In this white paper, Rodolphe Taby, MD, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Hospital and Critical Care Medicine at SCP Health, examines how hospital medicine can transform these converging crises into opportunities through strategic leadership at the intersection of clinical operations and system capacity.

Read to learn more about how hospitalists can orchestrate the critical balance between patient acuity and system capacity including:

  • Length-of-stay optimization that creates “virtual capacity” without construction costs or additional staffing.
  • Standardized observation medicine pathways that reduce care variation while improving patient throughput.
  • Strategic workforce deployment that aligns clinician skillsets and scopes of practice with patient needs.
  • The virtuous cycle where better acuity management drives optimized capacity management, and vice versa.

Hospital medicine is uniquely positioned to balance acuity and capacity management, turning operational pressures into opportunities for strategic growth an improved performance.
