Ramsay Health Care will start increasing clinical documentation in the network of private healthcare facilities in Australia with AI.
The recent AI powered tool called Ramsay Scribe is to be piloted at the Emergency Department in the private Hospital ST Andrew at Queensland. It is also expected that the technology will be tested under outpatient conditions in hospital and mental health.
The development of Ramsay Scribe is part of the 10-year Ramsay digital transformation strategy, which includes scaling of the party and the operate of AI tools to improve work flow and reduce administrative loads. In 2023, Ramsay used Google Cloud as a data and innovation partner, especially in building its basic digital project, a centralized Bigquery data center.
He talked to Dr. Rachna Gandhi, the main transformation of Ramsay, digital and data officers to learn more about Ramsay’s scratching and how he was picked up by the staff. She explained how this technology added value to their service and made similar digital projects available in preparation.
Q: What prompted the company to develop a tool?
AND. Ramsay Health Care identified the need to escalate the efficiency of clinical documentation while reducing the administrative burden of clinicists. Using the tools powered by AI, such as Scribe Ramsay, we try to improve work flow efficiency, reduce professional burning and allow clinicists to focus more on patient care than in formalities. The growing progress in AI and speech technology into the text was the possibility of implementing a solution that increases both accuracy and speed in the documentation.
Q: Which partners were involved?
AND. We have worked with T-PRO, a supplier of clinical solutions based on AI, to develop and improve the writer Ramsay. Their specialist knowledge in the field of speech recognition and huge language models helped to ensure optimization of the tool for the clinical environment.
Most importantly, we got involved in our healthcare teams on the first line to ensure that the solution meets their needs, is practical, intuitive and easily integrates with existing work flows.
Q: What was the work schedule?
AND. The development of Ramsay’s scratching began in mid -2012 along with initial research and planning. In mid -2024, we went to prototyping and testing, and then the pilot implementation began in January this year. We plan to continue our implementation in key pages in the coming months. This stage approach allowed us to improve the tool based on the actual feedback of clinicians, while ensuring glossy implementation.
Q: What does Ramsay Health care allow, what couldn’t she before?
AND. Ramsay Scribe allows faster, more correct clinical documentation, reducing the time at which clinicians spend on manual listing. This improves performance, supports compliance with documentation standards, and most importantly, increases the patient’s experience, enabling clinicians to pay more attention to direct care. In addition, it provides more structured and complete provisions of patients that can contribute to better decision making and care continuity.
Q: How did the staff and patients react to a recent tool?
AND. Feedback from clinicians was mostly positive, noting a significant reduction in the time spent on documentation and improving the efficiency of work flow. The staff also appreciated the ease of operate of the tool and trouble -free integration with daily routines.
From the patient’s point of view, they will benefit from more involved and current clinicians who can focus on ensuring high -quality care without extensive manual documentation.
Q: What are the next steps for Ramsay after developing this tool?
AND. We are still improving Ramsay’s script based on user feedback and expand its operate in additional specialties and clinical conditions. We also examine potential improvements of artificial intelligence, such as real -time summary and the possibilities of predictive text in order to further improve performance.
Q: How does it match the wider Ramsay strategy, such as the patient’s tracking tool?
AND. Ramsay Scribe is a key element of our digital transformation strategy, aimed at significantly improving the results of the patient’s team and care by using the strength of contemporary digital tools and data to improve our ability to sustainly delivering sustainable, integrated and best quality and best quality care. Both Ramsay Scribe and our patients’ tracking are examples of innovations that we manage, which operate current technology to ensure significant progress in the results of patients and care, and enable a more combined and knowledgeable digital health care ecosystem.
