Enhancing documentation quality and equal opportunities for non-native German speakers while ensuring rapid development, confidentiality, and easy integration.
With our discharge-letter-generator, doctors and medical staff create medical discharge letters quickly and accurately in accordance with the highest quality standards. The aim of our “co-writer” is to support the efficient creation of the epicrisis immediately after concluding the medical report. This reduces bureaucracy and frees up more time for patients.
Around 150 million discharge letters, also known as discharge reports, are written in Germany every year. Doctors and nurses spend up to 40 percent of their daily working time on computers instead of on patients. However, this status quo is time-consuming, error-prone and monotonous. Due to the shortage of specialists and the impending wave of retirements in the healthcare sector, tasks need to be organized more efficiently.
The mandatory launch of electronic patient record (ePA) as of 2024 along with integrating an eDoctor's letter module will present hospitals and rehab clinics with further major challenges, as discharge letters will be designed in accordance with strict guidelines, such as those of the German Pension Insurance.
Our solution supports medical staff with their duties of reporting and documentation, thus reducing their workload.
During the report writing process, the software suggests the next sentence and sometimes even the following sentences. The medical staff can accept the suggestions with one click.
The solution saves time, increases the quality of documentation and promotes equal opportunities, as it eliminates the need of being a native speaker to write high-quality medical letters.
