OVERVIEW

Streamlining Healthcare Documentation

A pressing challenge faced by hospitals is the time-consuming process of creating discharge summary reports for patients. Discharge summary reports are vital documents that encapsulate a patient’s medical history, treatment received, and post-discharge instructions. However, crafting these reports manually is labor-intensive and time-consuming for healthcare professionals. By leveraging AI, the aim was to create a speech-enabled report generator and to automate this process as much as possible. This case study delves into the technical intricacies and solutions employed to create a robust and efficient system tailored to the hospital’s specific needs.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The Countless Challenges

Accurately extract data from the highly variable report formats and structures across different departments and specialties.
It was crucial to adapt the AI models to local medical terminologies, abbreviations, and dialects to ensure ease of use.
Integrating the solution with different existing hospital systems such as Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS)
Minimizing latency with speech recognition and report generation was critical as the users had to view real-time results to be confident about the final report.
Being a rapidly evolving industry, continuous model training and refinement to improve accuracy and relevance over time was essential.
The accuracy was of paramount importance as it is a solution to be used in the healthcare industry. So we had to utilize a lot of evaluation models to ensure the best results.
