Framework for Digital Medical Scribe Technology for Healthcare Documentation
Abstract
Digital medical scribe (DMS) can prove to be a major innovation in the healthcare industry because such an approach can provide a highly useful method for medical documentation and physician-patient interactions. A new era of patient-centered, accurate, and efficient medical scribing has begun with the introduction of cutting-edge technologies like voice recognition, natural language processing, and electronic health records. This is highly relevant as the healthcare professionals are facing increasing administrative burdens. In this work, the significance of DMS in lowering provider burnout, streamlining clinical workflows, and improving patient care standards is discussed in detail. A case study of cardiac disorders is considered for demonstration of the proposed DMS method. Through the reduction of time spent on manual notetaking and data entry, the proposed digital solution can help physicians better connect with their patients and result in improved patient satisfaction. The ultimate objective is to improve healthcare for both patients and medical staff through reducing the administrative burden by effectively integrating digital tools into healthcare settings. The extension of this work would focus on integration of various modalities specific to healthcare data.
