Hear from the team at MultiCare Health System
We weren’t interested in hype. We wanted proof of technology that could truly help our physicians, APPs and patients. Ambience didn’t just perform well, it was the clear favorite among our clinicians. When your front line staff overwhelmingly chooses a solution because it makes care better and their work easier, that’s where you invest.

Todd Czartoski, MD

Executive Vice President and Chief Physician Executive, MultiCare

This is another example of MultiCare’s clinical and IT leadership coming together with a clear purpose, engaging the right stakeholders early, focusing on what matters, and scaling what works. Ambience proved its value not just in metrics, but in the smiles on our clinicians’ faces. When our providers thrive, our patients benefit.
