Aadicura, a leading multispecialty hospital in Vadodara, Gujarat, boasts over 20 specialized departments staffed by experienced professionals. Equipped with advanced infrastructure and 150 operational beds, the hospital offers expertise in diverse medical fields, including neurology, cardiology, nephrology, and gastroenterology.
Recognizing the need for optimized discharge summaries and operative notes, Dr. Alpa Parmar, Assistant General Manager of Medical Services, implemented a solution that enhanced efficiency and accuracy within the hospital. Leveraging E-clinical Works (a popular web-based HIS) and Augnito Chrome Plugin for direct dictation, Aadicura streamlined the discharge summary and operative notes process, significantly improving quality and timeliness.
Challenges in Documentation
The main motive is to save time. Previously they used to type the entire discharge summaries and operative notes which took a lot of time. Now with Augnito, we just have to speak, which is indeed saving a lot of time. Prior to implementing Augnito, the hospital relied on manual typing for creating discharge summaries and operative notes, which was time-consuming and prone to human errors. The process demanded significant time investment from both medical professionals and support staff, impacting overall productivity and turnaround time for patient care.
❝Before Augnito, manually typing discharge summaries and operative notes was a productivity bottleneck, impacting both speed and accuracy. Integrating Augnito’s user-friendly voice-to-text solution revolutionized our workflow. Dictating summaries now saves us valuable time, while its intuitive AI-powered features minimize errors, ensuring the highest quality documentation for our patients.❞
Innovative Solution: Integration of Augnito
To address these challenges, Dr. Alpa Parmar initiated the adoption of Augnito, a cutting-edge speech recognition tool integrated with E-clinical Works. With Augnito, doctors and transcriptionists can dictate directly using the Maono Collar Mic, leveraging advanced features such as macros and vocabulary customization. Augnito’s seamless integration and intuitive interface allowed for swift adoption, with users reporting significant time savings and enhanced accuracy in discharge summary and operative notes creation. Previously, while typing they used to have human errors. However, with the inbuilt dictionary, the chances of errors are less which helps them to create the discharge summaries faster.
❝Dictating discharge summaries and operative notes with Augnito has been a game-changer at Aadicura Hospital. Its seamless integration with E-clinical Works streamlines workflow, while features like customizable macros and medical vocabularies make dictation effortless and accurate. The built-in dictionary ensures minimal errors, allowing us to create high-quality summaries and notes significantly faster. Augnito has empowered our medical professionals, improved documentation efficiency, and ultimately enhanced patient care.❞
