If your practice runs on eClinicalWorks (eCW), the goal of any AI tool you add should be simple: less time in the chart, cleaner documentation, and accurate codes — without disrupting the workflow your team already knows. LucasAI is an ambient clinical platform, built by physicians, that captures the visit as it happens and hands you a finished note plus suggested codes ready to review and place into the chart.
This page explains, at a capability level, how LucasAI can complement an eClinicalWorks workflow — particularly for the independent and small outpatient practices that commonly run on eCW. LucasAI is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by eClinicalWorks; see the disclaimer at the end of this page.
The short version
What LucasAI does: ambient AI scribe that drafts your note in real time and suggests CPT, CPT II, ICD-10 codes and E&M service levels in the same pass — documentation and coding together.
How it fits eCW: LucasAI runs alongside the EHR you already use. A finished note and suggested codes are ready for review and placement into the chart, with the goal of fewer clicks and less after-hours work. eClinicalWorks remains your system of record.
Who it's for: outpatient and ambulatory practices — including the independent and small practices that often use eCW.
How LucasAI works with eClinicalWorks
LucasAI is an ambient AI scribe: it listens to the patient encounter and drafts a structured clinical note in real time, so the note is taking shape while you talk rather than after the visit. By the time you finish, you have a complete draft to review instead of a blank screen.
In an eClinicalWorks practice, the intent is to layer LucasAI on top of the workflow your team already uses. eCW remains the system of record and the place orders, scheduling, and billing live; LucasAI handles the ambient capture and the first draft of the note and codes. The clinician reviews the output and places the finished documentation and suggested codes into the chart, with the aim of fewer clicks and less time spent typing.
The specifics of how LucasAI's finished note and codes are moved into eCW depend on your eClinicalWorks configuration and the integration approach used for your environment, so confirm the exact mechanism with the LucasAI team before relying on it.
Coding alongside documentation
What sets LucasAI apart from a note-only scribe is that coding happens alongside documentation, in the same pass. As the note is generated, LucasAI's coding engine suggests:
- CPT procedure codes
- CPT II category II tracking codes
- ICD-10 diagnosis codes
- E&M service levels for the visit
Because the suggestions are generated from the same encounter that produced the note, coding is no longer a separate, after-the-fact task — it is part of finishing the visit. The clinician reviews and confirms the suggested codes before they go into the chart, which is intended to support compliant, complete documentation rather than replace clinical judgment. LucasAI also offers prior authorization support as part of its broader platform.
Benefits for an eCW practice
For an outpatient practice running eClinicalWorks, the practical benefits of adding LucasAI are:
- Less documentation burden. The note is drafted in real time, so clinicians spend less time typing during and after visits.
- Coding done with the note. CPT, CPT II, ICD-10 and E&M suggestions arrive with the documentation, helping reduce missed or under-captured codes.
- Fewer clicks. The goal is a finished note and suggested codes ready for the chart, rather than starting from scratch in the EHR.
- Outpatient focus. LucasAI is built for outpatient and ambulatory care — a fit for the independent and small practices that commonly use eCW. (It also supports inpatient settings.)
- Keep your system of record. eClinicalWorks stays the chart; LucasAI complements it rather than replacing it.

Getting started with LucasAI is intended to be lightweight — no months-long IT project. At a high level:
- Start a trial. Create a LucasAI account and capture a few real visits to see the ambient note and suggested codes.
- Review the output. Confirm that the note quality, coding suggestions, and E&M levels match how you document.
- Confirm the eCW workflow. Work with the LucasAI team to confirm how the finished note and suggested codes are placed into your eClinicalWorks workflow for your specific configuration.
- Go live. Roll LucasAI into daily visits, with the EHR remaining your system of record.
Because integration specifics depend on your eClinicalWorks environment, confirm exact technical requirements and any setup steps with the LucasAI team before going live. See all LucasAI integrations and pricing for plan details.
Frequently asked questions
Does LucasAI work with eClinicalWorks (eCW)?
LucasAI is an ambient clinical platform designed to fit alongside the EHR you already use. In a typical outpatient workflow, LucasAI captures the visit ambiently and produces a finished note and suggested codes that a clinician reviews and places into the chart. LucasAI is not affiliated with or endorsed by eClinicalWorks, and you should confirm the exact integration details for your eCW environment with the LucasAI team before relying on any specific connection.
How does LucasAI fit into an eClinicalWorks visit?
LucasAI listens to the encounter in real time and drafts a structured clinical note while you talk, along with suggested CPT, CPT II, ICD-10 codes and E&M service levels. The clinician reviews the note and codes, then finalizes them in the chart. The goal is fewer clicks and less after-hours documentation, with the EHR remaining your system of record.
Does LucasAI handle medical coding alongside documentation?
Yes. LucasAI generates the note and suggests medical codes in the same pass, so coding happens alongside documentation rather than as a separate, after-the-fact task. LucasAI's coding covers CPT, CPT II, ICD-10 and E&M service levels and is intended to support compliant, complete documentation that the clinician reviews before submission.
Is LucasAI a good fit for independent and small outpatient practices?
LucasAI is built for outpatient and ambulatory care as well as inpatient settings, and its ambient documentation plus real-time coding are well suited to independent and small practices, which are common users of eClinicalWorks. The aim is to reduce documentation burden and support accurate coding without a heavy IT project.
What is the setup process to use LucasAI with eClinicalWorks?
At a high level, you start a LucasAI trial, capture a few visits to see the ambient note and suggested codes, then work with the LucasAI team to confirm how the finished documentation and codes are placed into your eClinicalWorks workflow. Because integration specifics depend on your eCW configuration, confirm the exact setup and any technical requirements with the LucasAI team before going live.
Is LucasAI affiliated with or endorsed by eClinicalWorks?
No. LucasAI is an independent ambient clinical platform and is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or sponsored by eClinicalWorks. eClinicalWorks and eCW are referenced here only to describe how LucasAI can complement that workflow, for identification purposes.
