Clinical documentation solutions for allied health professionals
Nuance speech-to-text solutions streamline the documentation process for allied health professionals and free up time to spend with patients.
Concerns & benefits
Allied health professionals are clearing administrative backlogs and saving time with AI-powered clinical speech recognition
Allied health professionals (AHPs) span a diverse range of occupations and their care is carried out in many different clinical settings. 90% of AHPs spend 1-3 hours a day on documentation. Speech-enabling the electronic patient record (EPR) system provides AHPs with an accurate, rapid, and efficient way to capture the complete patient story.
Improved clinician satisfaction
Research indicates that 85% of NHS healthcare professionals see the burden of clinical documentation as a significant contributor to burnout. AI-powered speech recognition is dramatically cutting the time clinicians spend on documentation, freeing them to spend more time on patient care.
Optimised and utilised EPR
AI-powered speech recognition and auto-text templates improve the quality of clinical notes and the richness of EPR data. Nuance speech recognition can also be used to navigate EPR systems more easily and to generate voice-driven content—including emails—outside the EPR.
Deliver clinical notes faster
With speech recognition, notes are dictated directly into the EPR, helping AHPs reduce report turnaround time and deliver clinical notes faster to peers. This expediency improves the patient experience as clinic letters are completed faster.
Reduced administrative costs
In addition to reducing document turnaround times, speech recognition also helps AHPs to significantly reduce administrative costs and eliminates the need for expensive outsourced transcription services.
Releasing admin backlogs for Allied Health Professionals
Administrative burden has been relieved and letter turnaround has been reduced from weeks to days at this community-based musculoskeletal and physiotherapy services.
