The Problem

The administrative burden in healthcare has caused great pain for physicians, especially residents. One of the key systematic pain points is clinical documentation; this process consumes hours for physicians and has wide-ranging ramifications, from patient care to physician burnout to hospital administration.

Residents are taught that patient care is their highest priority task, yet they find themselves spending large portions of their day writing notes. Residents rotate through different specialties and clinical services and need to learn and re-learn each attending physician’s note-writing style, a cumbersome and error-prone process. 

SwiftyNote is an AI-powered medical documentation platform designed to streamline healthcare documentation processes. It allows residents to write their notes more efficiently and eases their burden during residency.

Process Before SwiftyNote

• Currently, residents spend too much time creating notes, especially for H&Ps and new consults
• During clinical encounters, residents often divide their attention between patients and their clinical documentation.
• Because residents divide their attention during a clinical encounter, they often miss opportunities to explore important details with their patients or forget to document these details in their clinical note 
• Currently, customizing notes according to user preferences is EMR-dependent and a manual process that takes time and effort—time that is otherwise a doctor’s precious free time.
• Current processes cannot generate short, succinct clinical summaries
• Inefficient note-writing also results in incomplete coding and insurance reimbursement

Process After SwiftyNote

• Once in the platform, residents can choose a peer-created template specific to their specialty and clinical encounter, whether it be an H&P, new consult, procedure note, or progress note.
• Simply press record, and you can freely transcribe or type your notes directly into the input field
• Once completed, SwiftyNote synthesizes your inputs into a comprehensive  note using our HIPAA-compliant AI software
• You can then simply copy and paste your note directly into any Electronic Medical Record
• Having SwiftyNote as a fact-base will ensure complete coding of patient procedures after your clinical encounter
• SwiftyNote’s HIPAA-compliant software ensures complete data security

Results

• Less time spent writing notes 
• More free time for residents, thereby reducing resident burnout
• Increased resident productivity by over 10%
• More streamlined process working with different attending physicians
• More focused patient care by enabling residents to focus completely on patients during visits instead of writing notes
• More control and flexibility for each resident and attending physician
