The NHS EHR target for 2025 is that 100% of all trusts will have these digital records in place to improve the way the NHS is working, and ultimately improve patient care.
It’s something that has been high on the priorities list in the recent mandates, and it is a true reflection of the way the healthcare industry is heading; more digitally focused.
So, in an age of digital transformation, what else can the NHS do to reach EHR targets and streamline healthcare workflows?
Enabling your EHR with SpeechCursor
To complement our speech recognition solutions, our cloud-based solution, SpeechCursor, enables healthcare professionals to dictate into any application with unparalleled accuracy utilising Voice AI.
You can swiftly generate precise patient documents directly into any application, from anywhere, across multiple systems, including EPR, MS Word and MS Outlook.
Simply place your cursor and speak into your dictation device and watch as text populates instantly. Dictating can be 3x faster than typing, so that’s a lot of admin time saved!
SpeechCursor offers many key features:
- Flexible dictation – you can dictate, edit and authorise the text from anywhere into any application.
- Cloud-based – as a cloud-based solution, powered by Atlas, SpeechCursor is readily available anywhere, any time – eliminating the need for infrastructure and application management investments.
- User profile ownership – with complete control over individual voice profiles, you can customise your library to meet your unique needs. The Atlas engine easily adjusts to voice nuances, accents and speech variations, minimising disruptions and external influences.
- Scalable – SpeechCursor is suitable for small installations from just a few workstations to large scale, full organisational rollouts.
Speech recognition is just one of the ways the NHS and healthcare sector is rolling out a more digitalised approach to patient care and patient documentation, helping to streamline workflows of admin staff and clinicians across multiple departments. Not surprising when it can cut the entire documentation process down by days!
Using a tool like SpeechCursor – compatible with all leading EHRs including Cerner, RIS, Synapse and Hyperspace – can make digital dictation and speech recognition more accessible, scalable and headache-free. And as all records will be stored electronically, it’s a perfect solution to help trusts reach the 2025 EHR targets and boost the NHS.
