AI-powered medical assistants reduce by 29% the time spent writing consultation reports
Artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical assistants reduce the time spent writing consultation reports by 29%, from 6.69 minutes to 4.71 minutes per report.
This is one of the main conclusions of the study published by Tandem Health, which also points out that these tools help reduce physician stress and increase patient care time.
Methodology of the study
The mixed-methods study selected the most relevant reports from a dataset of 375,000 created using Tandem Health’s clinical copilot by 1,295 professionals at Capio. It was also complemented by a survey with responses from 177 professionals fully trained in the use of the tool, responsible for more than 60,000 reports generated with the Tandem assistant.
The implementation at Capio covered various clinical settings in primary, secondary, and hospital care. Primary care physicians accounted for 66% of the 1,295 participating professionals, while the rest represented 43 different professions and specialties, including physiotherapists, traumatologists, psychologists, and nursing staff.
