Medical Record Summarization

Summarize patient data and get concise information based on medical history

Problem

In Argentina, 33% of a physician’s time  during consultations is spent recording and reviewing data in Electronic  Health Records (EHRs) instead of direct interaction with patients [1].

In Colombia, EHR design does not always  facilitate the immediate understanding of complex data, leading to errors in clinical decision-making [2].

Why it matters

Globally:Physicians spend an estimated 2–4 hours daily using EHRs, equating to 50% oftheir workday [3].

In Latin America: Studies highlight uneven adoption of EHRs, frequent errors, andprolonged data retrieval times [3].

Human Cost:Administrative burdens lead to burnout in 63% of physicians using EHRs [4].

Solution

Automated Summaries: Extract and present the most relevant clinical history  information in a condensed and prioritized format.

Intelligent Data Analysis: Identify patterns and correlations in patient data to  support decision-making.

Ease of Integration: Operates on existing EHR platforms without disrupting  workflows [3].

Opportunity Cost

Time Saved: Physicianscould save 2–3 hours daily, allowing more patient care or focus on criticaltasks [1].

Efficiency: Lackof optimized tools perpetuates diagnostic errors, increasing healthcare costsby up to 50% per patient due to unnecessary tests and treatments [2].


Impact

AdministrativeTime Reduction: AI can cut EHR management timeby 40% [1].

ImprovedDiagnostic Precision: Enhances identificationof complex conditions by 25% through automatic detection of critical data [3].

ProfessionalSatisfaction: Reduces burnout by 30% throughdecreased administrative workload, improving work-life balance [4].

EconomicImpact: Healthcare systems could save up to$12,000 per physician annually by optimizing resources and reducing errors [2].
