For years, health systems have been forced into enterprise-wide documentation bundles to access AI dictation, paying for software even when adoption varies significantly across specialties and clinicians. Today, Suki, the leader in Ambient Clinical Intelligence (ACI), announced Suki Dictation, an AI-powered solution that can be deployed independently or alongside Suki’s ambient clinical documentation. Built natively inside Epic and MEDITECH, Suki Dictation gives clinicians the flexibility to document the way they work while allowing health systems to purchase only the capabilities they need.
Clinical documentation isn’t one-size-fits-all. Highly specialized care, nuanced note types, sensitive patient conversations, and individual provider preferences can require the precision and control of verbatim dictation. By bringing AI dictation and ambient documentation together on a single platform, Suki gives clinicians the flexibility to choose the right approach for each encounter and workflow.
Verbatim dictation is particularly vital in high-acuity fields such as surgery, emergency medicine, critical care, and procedural medicine, where complex documentation, procedure details, and operative reports must be recorded with exact accuracy. Incomplete documentation in these settings creates compliance risks, delays reimbursement, and leads to inaccurate coding. Research published in the American Surgeon* found that inadequate operative reports can result in incorrect coding in up to 28% of cases, with potential reimbursement losses averaging $18,200.
“Using the AI Suki Dictation Program has become an important part of my documentation workflow because it gives me flexibility. Suki helps generate my notes automatically, which allows me more time during the office visit to focus on the patient. However, when I need to capture more specific clinical details, instructions, or coding information, I can edit the note with either typing or dictation, which allows me to place exactly what I want directly in the EHR. It helps me complete documentation more efficiently, saving me at least 1-2 hours a day, while ensuring my notes are accurate and reflect the complexity of the care I provide,” said Edward P. Mintz, MD, pulmonary and critical care physician at Witham Medical Group.
Suki Dictation is designed to give health systems greater flexibility today while creating a foundation for more intelligent clinical workflows in the future. Available now, organizations can deploy Suki’s precise, lightweight AI dictation as a standalone replacement for legacy solutions or alongside Suki’s ambient documentation, without being locked into rigid vendor libraries or bundled offerings. Looking ahead, Suki believes the future of AI dictation extends well beyond transcription. Future innovations include next-generation streaming speech recognition, conversational voice editing, AI-assisted procedure note generation, intelligent voice commands, and interactive clinical assistance that enables clinicians to retrieve patient information and complete documentation without leaving the EHR.
“Healthcare has accepted a false choice for too long: either buy massive documentation licenses or give up modern AI dictation,” said Abhi Pathak, Chief Product Officer at Suki. “That shouldn’t be how software works. We built Suki Dictation because clinicians deserve the flexibility to document the way they want, and health systems deserve the freedom to purchase only the technology they actually need. By bringing AI dictation and ambient documentation together on a single platform, we’re giving organizations choice instead of forcing compromise.”
Suki Dictation is available as a standalone solution or as part of Suki for Clinicians. Through Suki’s APIs and SDKs, healthcare technology companies can also embed enterprise-grade AI dictation directly into their own products, accelerating development without the complexity of building speech recognition infrastructure from scratch.
