Aultman Health System, a leading not-for-profit integrated health system serving Stark and surrounding counties in Ohio, has successfully deployed Nabla’s ambient AI clinical documentation tool as a native module inside its Oracle Cerner EHR. The integration, completed in early January 2026, marks one of the first large-scale, fully embedded implementations of ambient AI scribing within the Cerner platform, allowing physicians to remain in their familiar workflow while benefiting from real-time, voice-activated note generation.

Nabla’s ambient AI listens passively to the natural conversation between clinician and patient (with explicit consent), using advanced speech recognition, natural language understanding, and context-aware summarisation to identify clinically relevant information. It then automatically drafts structured notes including history of present illness (HPI), review of systems (ROS), physical exam findings, assessment, plan, and orders ready for physician review, editing, and electronic signature directly in Cerner. The system supports both in-person and telehealth encounters and is compliant with HIPAA and data privacy regulations.

Early pilot results from Aultman physicians across primary care, cardiology, orthopaedics, and oncology show significant time savings averaging 60–70% reduction in documentation time per encounter and high satisfaction scores. Many providers report being able to complete notes during or immediately after visits rather than spending hours charting at the end of the day or at home, addressing one of the leading contributors to clinician burnout.

Dr. Robert J. Cercek, Chief Medical Information Officer at Aultman, commented: “Nabla’s ambient AI fits seamlessly into our Cerner workflow no new logins, no extra screens. It captures the conversation accurately and lets our physicians focus on the patient instead of the keyboard. The time savings are real, and the notes are high quality right out of the gate.”

The deployment is part of Aultman’s broader digital transformation strategy, which includes expanding virtual care, predictive analytics, and clinician well-being initiatives. Nabla’s technology was selected after a rigorous evaluation process that prioritised integration depth, accuracy across specialties, and privacy-first design.

Nabla, already deployed in thousands of practices across the U.S. and Europe, has seen rapid adoption due to its ambient (no dictation required), context-aware, and specialty-tuned capabilities. The native Cerner integration announced as part of Oracle Health’s growing ecosystem of third-party AI partners demonstrates increasing momentum for ambient documentation tools embedded directly into major EHR platforms.
