Advocate Health reduces nurse burnout and boosts patient care via automated documentation
Use case typeClinical documentationUpdated Jun 13, 2026
Advocate Health, the third-largest non-profit health system in the US, is piloting Project Nursing, an AI solution developed with Microsoft that automates nursing documentation. The system uses ambient AI to capture nurses' spoken notes and automatically updates patient flowsheets in the Epic electronic health record (EHR). This innovation aims to reduce time-consuming administration, particularly paperwork, for over 42,000 nurses serving 6 million patients across 1,000 care sites. This solution is inspired by Microsoft’s DAX Copilot for physicians, which was previously adopted by Advocate Health and reduced at-home EHR time by 47.1%. The move targets a pressing need, as two-thirds of US nurses report symptoms of burnout due to administrative overload. The pilot is currently live in private preview, with more details on general availability planned for 2025. Advocate Health is recognized nationally for driving nursing innovation, including virtual nurse programs and excellence initiatives.
