How Medicomp’s Quippe Suite Delivers the Technology Solutions Physicians Need
Clinician burnout is a long-standing issue in the U.S. that has reached epidemic proportions. After peaking at 62.8% in 2021 it dropped a bit below 50% in 2023, but this is still too high. According to a 2019 Medscape study, the top contributing factors to burnout were bureaucratic tasks (59%), excessive work hours (34%), and increased computerization—specifically EHRs (32%).
The irony is palpable: technology designed to make healthcare more efficient has instead become a significant source of physician stress. But what if the solution to technology-induced burnout is… better technology?
The EHR Paradox: When Digital Tools Become Digital Burdens
When the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act accelerated EHR adoption in 2009, the focus was on digitization—not optimization. The rush to implement created systems that prioritized regulatory compliance over physician workflow. The result? Doctors spending more time clicking through screens than connecting with patients.
As healthcare organizations invested millions in these systems, a troubling reality emerged: EHRs were creating as many problems as they solved. Physicians found themselves working longer hours, taking on more administrative tasks, and struggling with inefficient interfaces that fragmented rather than unified patient information.
Reimagining Clinical Workflows with AI-Powered Intelligence
At Medicomp Systems, we believe technology should adapt to physicians—not the other way around. Medicomp’s Quippe suite serves as a clinical data source of truth that addresses the root causes of burnout while enhancing patient care. Through a native integration within EHRs and other health technologies, Quippe improves usability and enables deeper clinical interaction for the next generation of clinician-centered technologies.
Tackling Clinician Burnout with Automated Clinical AI Workflows
The documentation burden has become overwhelming for many clinicians. Quippe’s Clinical Intelligence Engine™ transforms this experience by leveraging advanced technologies including large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing (NLP) to convert dictated or typed text — even text derived from conversational AI — into trustworthy structured data that powers interactive clinical workflows.
Because Quippe is clinical at its core, physicians can practice medicine their way, whether through dictation, typing, or conversation, while the system automatically:
- Organizes information into structured, reportable formats
- Analyzes findings at the point of care
- Prompts on related test results, trends, and problems in the patient’s chart
- Activates and populates relevant care pathways, protocols, and structured workflows
- Meets applicable clinical quality measures (CQMs) without additional work
- Drives improved billing accuracy and interoperability
- Analyzes documentation for completeness and care gaps
The result? Physicians spend less time searching and documenting, and more time healing.
Optimizing Care with Intelligent Chart Analysis
One of the most frustrating aspects of modern EHRs is that critical patient information often remains buried, siloed, and difficult to find at the point of care. This fragmentation forces physicians to hunt through multiple screens and systems for relevant data — a time-consuming process that contributes directly to burnout.
Quippe’s patented Clinical Intelligence Engine addresses this challenge by combining clinical data from all sources and formats, and presenting what’s relevant for each patient and clinical condition. The system’s unique prompting engine makes it possible to search for and act on important insights that might otherwise remain hidden in the depths of the EHR.
By following the clinician’s train of thought and surfacing relevant information when and how it’s needed, Quippe eliminates the cognitive burden of data hunting, allowing physicians to:
- Quickly access complete patient information
- Filter by relevant findings and guidance for a given clinical presentation
- Make more informed clinical decisions
- Reduce the risk of missed information
- Enhance the patient-physician relationship through more focused interactions
Improving Outcomes with Data-Driven Care Coordination
The increasing requirements for structured data capture and reporting have added layers of complexity to physician workflows. Quippe simplifies this process by providing standards-based interactive content and workflow accelerator tools ready for use within existing EHRs and health technologies.
These capabilities make it possible to:
- Easily capture required data and codes for SDOH data sets in compliance with USCDI v3 and v4
- Efficiently incorporate mandated structured clinical data into care delivery workflows
- Merge patient-reported content into related structured workflows
- Streamline health information exchange and reporting
- Automate care coordination processes
Partners using Quippe can readily integrate decision-making data into clinical workflows with ready-made content, including HRSN screening tools designed to accelerate documentation, reduce duplicate work, and automate care coordination.
Addressing Problematic EHR Data with Quippe Alchemy™
Years of EHR use have left many organizations with problematic data — duplicate entries, incorrect mappings, and inconsistent terminology. These issues compound over time, making systems increasingly difficult to use effectively.
Quippe Alchemy, Medicomp’s newest innovation, leverages cutting-edge AI technology to clean up problem lists and other clinical data quality challenges stemming from bad mapping and duplicate or incorrect items. This solution helps:
- Normalize historical data
- Resolve clinical data quality and fidelity issues
- Improve the accuracy of patient records
- Improve billing and capture ROI
- Reduce clinician frustration with inconsistent or inaccurate data
Re-igniting Physician Passion through Better Technology
The epidemic of physician burnout demands immediate action. With a projected shortage of 120,000 physicians by 2030 according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, we cannot afford to lose more healthcare providers to preventable burnout.
Medicomp’s Quippe suite aligns perfectly with the solutions needed to reverse burnout trends:
- Supporting flexible workflows that adapt to physician needs rather than forcing physicians to adapt to rigid systems
- Automating actions to assist clinicians at the point of care
- Promoting data usability through comprehensive data normalization and millions of diagnostic relevancy links
- Involving physicians by designing systems that think the way clinicians do
- Extending existing EHRs without requiring costly replacements
By addressing the technological roots of burnout, we can help physicians rediscover the joy in practicing medicine. When technology works the way clinicians think (and not the other way around) we all benefit: physicians, healthcare organizations, and most importantly, patients.
