Battling EMR Burnout? AI Dictation Software May Help

Although AI-assisted dictation software could allow physicians and healthcare professionals to focus more on patients, getting there requires overcoming potential pitfalls. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/... -- TRANSCRIPT -- Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are emerging to help physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants write notes in real time using dictation software. This is extremely important because note writing for electronic medical records (EMRs), or electronic health records, is a major contributor to physician burnout. After obtaining consent from the patient, electronically in the EMR, in a paper form, or after the patient gives verbal consent in the clinic room, the provider can turn on the digital scribe application, sometimes on their smartphone. It will listen to the clinic visit and write a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)–secure, cloud-based note. How Does This All Work? AI knows how to separate out information provided by the patient to go into the history of present illness (HPI). AI technology will listen for medications, social history, physical exam, and assessment and plan, and put this information in the correct place and format as well. At the end of each patient visit, physicians can still edit the note, but the AI software dramatically reduces the amount of time spent typing, so that physicians can focus on the patient conversation and talk in a much more natural way. Physicians will no longer have to ask patients to slow down their description. Intelligent documentation support software uses speech recognition, natural language processing, and AI to write notes and to help automate tedious clinical documentation, which physicians and medical providers spend hours each day typing out. This AI software, produced by several different companies, now allows physicians to focus their attention on data gathering, asking important questions, and trying to develop an assessment and plan instead of being bogged down by typing. A Tool to Prevent Burnout Administrative tasks such as typing in the EMR and paperwork are one of the biggest causes of physician burnout. A 2016 study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that physicians allocate approximately 49% of their time on EMR and desk work. So, intelligent documentation has the potential to make clinics more efficient and allow physicians to see more patients each day.
