What You Should Know:
– Butterfly Network, Inc. (“Butterfly”), a digital health company specializing in whole-body ultrasound imaging, has launched Compass AI
.
– The challenge in POCUS has long been the reliance on traditional, radiology-style, order-based workflows, which often lead to undocumented, unreviewed, and unreimbursed exams. Traditional workflows often capture only about 15% of compliant studies, meaning up to 85% go unbilled.
– Compass AI replaces this fragmented approach with an AI-enhanced, encounter-based workflow built specifically for point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).
The Path to “Easy Money”: Boosting Revenue and Compliance
Compass AI’s automated approach is designed to transform potential administrative loss into financial gain. The platform enables documentation compliance rates of up to 94% without adding work for clinicians. This improvement can translate into as much as five times more revenue from the same clinical volume.
Key Features for Governance and Scale
Beyond documentation, Compass AI works across departments and ultrasound devices, transforming POCUS from siloed tools into a coordinated imaging service. This provides health systems with the visibility and governance needed to scale.
Key features of the Compass AI platform include:
- Documentation Agent: Uses Ambient voice dictation to complete notes during exams, cutting charting time by up to 25%.
- QA Agent: Streamlines Quality Assurance (QA) through AI-powered image review and feedback, reducing manual work.
- Program Dashboard: Tracks usage, compliance, credentialing, and unbilled scans, while surfacing potential ROI.
- Seamless Integration: Connects with EHRs, PACS, and SSO to route studies directly into the medical record and prevent lost images.
- Fleet Visibility: Supports governance across users and devices for system-wide scale.
Joseph DeVivo, President, CEO and Chairman of Butterfly Network, stated: “Health systems want to expand POCUS and capture more value, but they’ve been held back by undocumented exams, compliance risk and administrative burden that take clinicians away from patients. Compass AI changes that.”
