What An AI Medical Scribe Does

By Eric Scott


Necessity is the mother of invention. This holds true as the healthcare industry strives to give the best service it can provide to the community. Recent innovations have paved the way to create an AI medical scribe that is used by physicians today.

Paperwork is a nightmare for anyone who works on it. This is the also the case for these healthcare professionals. They have to do administrative work as part of the compliance with law regulations such as HIPAA or Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

Physicians was observed and shadowed by innovators who want to know how they can improve the current system. That is the EHR or electronic health records which archives digitally the medical reports and lab tests of the patient in real time. Their aim is to help lessen the administrative work these physicians do after office hours so they can focus their energy on their patients.

In their observations, they found out that healthcare professionals still needs to do documentation after office hours despite being burned out from handling patients. The cognitive part of their brain is overused and needs rest after back to back sessions. So they device a software which will help in lessening the burden this task caused them. That way, they can go home and rest in order to prepare for the next day.

Using artificial intelligence, this is a software application system that the helps physicians in taking down information in regard to their findings of their patients. As the name suggests, it writes down the details of the medical consultation. This application aggregates the information so physicians have ease in their documentation.

Voice activation is another feature that innovators add on to it. Physicians would no longer push some buttons on the keyboard and screen just to document the information. Lab results are also uploaded into it in real time. As a result, they only need to do a few voice commands to have the results they need pop up on the screen. They can readily give patients the results and what it means.

One advantage is that this is a learning system. Meaning, they do not have to update its data bank like the normal computer software regularly. It has an embedded program to recognize the medical jargons they throw along the conversation, even if it is said in short hand or acronym.

This benefits them greatly in two areas. First, it saves them time because they do not have to spell out what that particular jargon means or manually input it in the data bank. Second, it gives them and the institution cost savings for there is no need to spend additional money just to have a technician or the company provider upload a system update.

This is great and helpful to use because the focus and workflow they have going does not get interrupted. They are able to really work on what matters and that is the wellbeing of their patient. No longer does the patient need to wait just so they have the results from the labs. They are able to get it through this system with ease and at a faster rate. They can have a productive day at the hospital because this helps in increasing their efficiency.
