🗂️ Research that caught our eye
A 2024 study looks at the impact that AI scribes have on practitioner’s patient interactions and clinical documentation.
With the help of an AI scribe, over 80% of the healthcare practitioners surveyed in that study said that the AI scribe help them save time, increase clinical documentation accuracy and make encounters with patients “more personable”.
Halaxy’s Heidi Health integration uses AI to automatically listen to your appointments and then turn your appointments into structured clinical notes, patient summaries, referral letters, and more.
Instead of typing out patient notes during or after appointments, you can focus solely on patient care, helping to save you time and make clinical “encounters more personable”.
