7 Benefits of AI-Driven Documentation Solutions
Physician Burnout is Reaching a Breaking Point
More and more doctors are exhausted, frustrated, and depressed because of documentation. The NY Times warned that medical professionals are “under siege” by paperwork and that it “is pushing both doctors and nurses to the breaking point.” Recent studies have shown that physicians spend over 50% of their workdays on EHRs, including 1.5 hours after office hours each day at home. The result? Late nights, missed dinners, and canceled plans. Physicians experience each of these regularly, leading to increased physician burnout rates, disrupted patient-clinician relationships, and careless errors from tired and overworked clinicians. In one recent survey, 90% of physicians reported feeling burned out on a “regular basis,” largely because of their required paperwork. To solve this escalating crisis, time-saving and simple documentation-assistance tools are needed more than ever.
AI is the Key to Easing the Documentation Burden
Human transcription and scribing services have assisted with physician paperwork for decades. Each approach has built-in flaws, including the chance of human error, high costs, and record-keeping lags and delays. AI-driven documentation solutions, however, overcome many of those issues. As reported by the Mayo Clinic, “the recent rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care offers a promising solution to alleviate the burden of documentation and optimize clinical workflows.”
7 Ways AI Documentation Transforms Care
AI-powered healthcare software can transcribe patient encounters, enter data into EHRs, and process information for orders and prescriptions—all of which help physicians focus on direct patient care. Such tools can shrink a physician’s time devoted to documentation by up to 70% and cut costs by half!
1. Improved accuracy and consistency
AI-powered tools constantly learn from users, enabling them to provide consistent outputs, styles, formats, and more and continuously improve them.
2. Dramatically reduced costs
AI-powered healthcare software such as DeliverHealth’s eSOne™ InstaNote has been shown to cut documentation costs by up to 50%.
3. Increased patient throughput
With the documentation burden eased, clinics can care for more patients while reducing staff time.
4. Enhanced speed and accuracy
With AI-powered healthcare software like eSOne™ InstaNote, there’s no waiting for anyone to type up the note. Instead, clinicians receive near-instantaneous results. Because physicians get their documentation closer to their episodes of care, details are more easily checked for accuracy, including more reliable coding and reimbursement.
5. Improved patient satisfaction
Patients value the extra time their medical providers can spend with them and report that their medical provider is more concerned about their health. Studies have directly correlated patient-doctor time with improved health outcomes, lower malpractice claims, and greater trust. Without intrusive transcribers in the room, patients are also afforded more privacy.
6. Increased clinician satisfaction
Artificial intelligence tools, like voice-to-text dictation, automated notes, and summarization software markedly streamline documentation, reducing time spent on administrative tasks. This helps clinicians avoid burnout, feel more empowered in their roles through increased autonomy, and have more time to connect with patients and pursue their lives outside of work. Ultimately, clinicians can better see their direct and visible impact on patients and patients’ families. Improved satisfaction also plays a key role in healthcare organizations’ retention and recruiting.
7. Higher revenue
AI-powered code suggestions can help enhance reimbursements and improve speed-to-bill.
