Assisted Data Capture
Bells AI enables concurrent documentation and empowers staff to be engaged in the client session. Flexible features make enhanced documentation a simplified process. You can select from typing, ambient listening, photo import, in-app voice-to-text and quick text features to input applicable information into the system.
By leveraging native language translation, optical character recognition (OCR) technology and other automations within the AI-powered note-taking platform, Bells AI facilitates end-to-end session data capture across device, setting, language or communication method.
To truly meet the provider where you are, Bells AI enables seamless transitions from handheld device to desktop, providing offline capability to allow providers to capture critical data from anywhere. Notes you start on-the-go sync through an automated process the next time you connect to a network.
Assessments + Templates
Bells AI goes beyond progress notes to seamlessly integrate assessments and screenings into the session workflow. Its AI-driven assessments allow the client or patient to receive tailored questions configured to the individual and session type, supporting clean, accurate, and relevant documentation by alleviating unnecessary or blank fields.
Updating in real time, Bells AI adjusts visible fields and provides recommendations based on the information you enter. It can also provide clinical support to help coach your staff with helpful reminders and relevant examples.
You can also configure templates to drive efficient documentation and consistency among staff to prompt pertinent information for the note.
Clinical Recommendations
Bells AI uses a contextual recommendation engine driven by augmented intelligence to provide clinical support to providers, set up key words, suggest must-have blocks of text and optimize billing codes.
These suggestions augment the clinician’s significant knowledge and experience in real-time to amend the note for the provided service. This ultimately helps avoid claim rejections and recoupment of funds.
Bells AI also enhances providers’ ability to recognize and address social determinants of health (SDoH) with valuable insights at the point of care, with the AI medical documentation tool prompting these questions to be asked and supplying it to the provider when relevant to the scenario at hand.
Validation + Review + QA
Bells is an augmented AI model built on data from the largest set of active users in the healthcare industry. This robust data source means providers can trust Bells AI to provide accurate, personalized recommendations. Ultimately, it empowers your goals to deliver better client outcomes.
As insurance providers increasingly utilize AI to review claims, the time has now come when providers confront AI with AI.
Bells AI detects quality issues and can identify and support correction of compliance and reimbursement errors during the initial documentation process. This early intervention eases the burden on QA during the later stages of the reimbursement process. Bells AI determines note quality and compliance via numerous characteristics, including service type, provider location, note format and client details such as gender, age, history, etc.
Bells AI saves you time, supports care quality and simplifies reimbursement in real time. This reduces the burden on supervisory and quality assurance teams, minimizing rework and streamlining the audit process.
Note Audit (Supervisory)
How much time does your staff waste fixing notes and tracking people down, only to miss the opportunity to receive payment for services already provided?
Bells AI minimizes rework.
Our medical documentation AI checks for duplicative language between notes and flags them through an automated process with detailed editing suggestions provided in real time. Services entered with overlapping times from a single provider are identified to encourage immediate correction, helping your efforts to improve accuracy and reduce rejections.
Training + Coaching
AI medical charting can also be used to help drive smooth and lasting behavioral change in documentation quality. Bells AI employs a variety of coaching features empowering staff to make suggestions, provide context and input reasoning for care recommendations. Users can learn to enact preferred phrases as opposed to their former language after just a few corrections.
Enhancing efficiency and accuracy to support a seamless lifecycle
Clinical augmented intelligence solutions are disrupting the once-frustrating and inefficient documentation, review and submission process that often results in long session-to-sign times, or missing payment entirely. With Bells AI, provider documentation is augmented in real time with contextual recommendations, templates, assessments, individualized clinical support and other automated capabilities. Bells AI propels the lifecycle forward, from the service provided to payment and the steps in between.

Yes. Unlike most other AI medical documentation solutions that primarily rely on ambient listening, Bells AI supports a wide variety of care settings, including group sessions. Ninety three percent (93%) of communication relies on nonverbal cues, which is why Bells AI leverages a variety of data capture and data accuracy features to provide the most robust automated documentation experience on the market. By focusing on human capabilities, intuition and experience first and foremost, Bells AI leverages augmented intelligence to support providers in the process.
Netsmart offers numerous Bells AI trainings designed to accommodate a variety of learning styles. Bells AI training methods include: detailed text materials, instructor-led courses and self-directed hands-on learning to name a few.
One of the key benefits of Bells AI is its intuitive design. What used to take three weeks to train a staff with the EHR, now takes three days. Not only is it easy to learn, but it’s fun to use. Bells AI has transformed documentation from one of the biggest pain points for providers into a simple, efficient process.
Augmented Intelligence can drive lasting behavioral change among clinical staff. After a couple rounds of language recommendation based on our expansive healthcare AI data set, staff can begin to understand and utilize the recommended changes. These recommendations are intended to drive better accuracy, properly capture billable services, and reduce manual QA needed down the road. In turn, notes can be truly optimized for first-round payment and target reductions of recoupment of funds. From patient assessment to billing, AI for medical documentation stands to benefit every step in the patient care process.
