Through its long-standing collaboration with Nuance and Microsoft, Providence achieved success in migrating solutions to the cloud at scale and accelerating development and adoption of generative AI-powered applications to help improve care quality and access and reduce physicians' administrative workloads.

通过与Nuance和微软的长期合作，普罗维登斯成功地将解决方案大规模迁移到云端，并加速开发和采用生成性人工智能驱动的应用程序，以帮助提高护理质量和访问权限，减少医生的管理工作量。

Providence also has widely deployed Nuance's conversational, ambient, and generative AI solutions including the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience™ (DAX™) and Dragon Medical One, and the largest implementation of the Nuance PowerScribe radiology reporting solution in the United States.

普罗维登斯还广泛部署了Nuance的对话、环境和生成人工智能解决方案，包括Nuance Dragon ambient eXperience™（DAX™）和Dragon Medical One，以及Nuance PowerScribe放射报告解决方案在美国的最大实施。

'Microsoft and Nuance's unparalleled expertise, depth of AI applications, and scale enables us to uplevel our innovation, with each organization bringing tremendous value to the partnership,' said BJ Moore, Executive Vice President and CIO at Providence. 'Our expanded collaboration enables us to rapidly scale and increase the capabilities of many of our existing solutions while creating more personalized and satisfied experiences for patients and providers alike.'

普罗维登斯执行副总裁兼首席信息官BJ Moore说：“微软和Nuance无与伦比的专业技能、人工智能应用的深度和规模，使我们能够提升创新水平，每个组织都为合作关系带来巨大价值。”我们扩大的合作使我们能够快速扩展和提高许多现有解决方案的能力，同时为患者和提供者创造更加个性化和满意的体验。”

Through its continued collaboration with Nuance and Microsoft, Providence will focus on five key areas:

通过与Nuance和微软的持续合作，普罗维登斯将专注于五个关键领域：

Improve operational efficiency: Use Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare to simplify interoperability and improve operational efficiency and clinical decision-making with AI-generated insights from multimodal data. The Azure-based cloud platform also helps expand secure, privacy-protected data access to accelerate the development and adoption of AI solutions at scale across the industry.

提高运营效率：使用Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare来简化互操作性，并通过人工智能从多模式数据中产生的见解来提高运营效率和临床决策。基于Azure的云平台还有助于扩展安全、受隐私保护的数据访问，以加速整个行业大规模开发和采用人工智能解决方案。

Accelerate in-house solutions development: Create and enhance purpose-built AI-powered applications such as Providence MedPearl, which assists primary care physicians with appropriate referral guidelines for greater patient access to specialized care. Additional in-house solutions include ProvidenceChat — a secure alternative to other general-purpose chatbots that enable caregivers to experiment with generative AI — as well as Grace and ProvARIA.

加速内部解决方案的开发：创建和增强专门构建的人工智能驱动的应用程序，例如Providence Medparl，它为初级保健医生提供适当的转诊指南，以使患者获得更多的专业护理。其他内部解决方案包括ProvidenceChat（其他通用聊天机器人的安全替代品，使护理人员能够尝试生成性AI），以及Grace和ProvARIA。

Grace focuses on answering patient questions before they send a message to their provider, while ProvARIA classifies patient messages, reducing providers' workloads and response times.

Grace专注于在患者向其提供者发送消息之前回答患者问题，而ProvARIA则对患者消息进行分类，减少提供者的工作量和响应时间。

Advance clinical research: Collaborate on clinical research solutions using generative AI, including clinical trial matching and participation.

先进的临床研究：使用生成性AI合作临床研究解决方案，包括临床试验匹配和参与。

Improve physician and patient experiences: Expand deployment of solutions such as Nuance DAX Copilot. DAX Copilot automates the creation of clinical documentation during patient exams so physicians can spend more time delivering personalized care. In addition, Nuance's Patient Support Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) is being piloted at Providence's Patient Engagement Center (PEC) to ease the way of patients using MyChart.

改善医生和病人的体验：扩大部署Nuance DAX副驾驶等解决方案。DAX副驾驶在患者检查期间自动创建临床文档，因此医生可以花费更多时间提供个性化护理。此外，Nuance的患者支持智能虚拟助理（IVA）正在普罗维登斯的患者参与中心（PEC）进行试点，以简化患者使用MyChart的方式。

Expand industry collaboration: Leverage expanded data access, complementary technologies and subject matter expertise between organizations to accelerate development of solutions that address healthcare's priority challenges and improve patient outcomes. Providence has been piloting Copilot for Microsoft 365, providing employees with real-time intelligent assistance to enhance productivity and creativity across key Microsoft 365 apps..

扩大行业合作：利用扩展的数据访问、互补技术和组织间的主题专业知识，加快解决医疗保健优先挑战和改善患者预后的解决方案的开发。普罗维登斯（Providence）一直在试用Microsoft 365的副产品，为员工提供实时智能帮助，以提高关键Microsoft 365应用程序的生产力和创造力。。

'This highly productive collaboration between Microsoft, Nuance, and Providence exemplifies how new, innovative AI applications paired with deep healthcare expertise and the scale of the Azure cloud are transforming healthcare delivery,' Robert Dahdah, CVP, Global Health and Life Sciences, Microsoft.

微软全球健康与生命科学CVP Robert Dahdah说：“微软、Nuance和普罗维登斯之间的这种高效合作证明了新的创新人工智能应用程序与深厚的医疗保健专业知识和Azure云的规模是如何改变医疗保健服务的。”

'We are accelerating the development and adoption of AI solutions in healthcare by leveraging the security, scale, and reliability of the Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare and incorporating previously siloed data streams into state-of-the-art large language models and generative AI that can offer vital insights and recommendations to improve operational efficiency and care outcomes.'

“我们正在加速医疗保健领域人工智能解决方案的开发和采用，方法是利用微软医疗保健云的安全性、规模和可靠性，并将以前孤立的数据流整合到最先进的大型语言模型和生成性人工智能中，从而提供重要的见解和建议，以提高运营效率和护理效果。”
