Join us as we sit down with Amy Baxter, a clinical associate professor of emergency medicine, to explore the future of pain management. We’ll dive into the challenges and advancements in non-opioid alternatives, focusing on the impact of the NOPAIN Act set to transform reimbursement policies in January 2025. Amy will share insights on the importance of multimodal pain management, ERAS studies’ biases, and mechanical stimulation discoveries. We’ll also discuss how opioid settlement funds are being used to educate medical staff on innovative pain management strategies.

Amy Baxter is a clinical associate professor of emergency medicine at Augusta University, federally funded for neuromodulation research to reduce needle pain, multimodal low back pain, and opioid reduction.

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

Together, Microsoft and Nuance are leveraging their rich digital technology and advanced AI capabilities to tackle some of health care’s biggest challenges. AI-driven technology promises to revolutionize patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. DAX Copilot combines proven conversational and ambient AI with the most advanced generative AI in a mobile application that integrates directly with your existing workflows.

Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 85 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Discover AI-powered clinical documentation that writes itself. Visit https://nuance.com/daxinaction to see a 12-minute DAX Copilot demo.
