Insights from the Front Lines of Medical Documentation
We explore the root causes of information chaos, designing for clarity, and the thoughtful application of AI in medicine.
Why EHRs Actively Constrain Ideal Clinical Workflows
The rigidity of the EHR is a straightjacket on efficient workflows. The systems simply don’t match the ways clinicians think.
The Future of Live Documentation - Addressing the Growing Problem of Medical Documentation Overload
As AI continues to transform healthcare, many assume it can fix the growing issue of documentation overload. While AI offers just-in-time summaries and automation, relying solely on it without improving how data is structured leads to bloated, disorganized charts. In our latest post, we explore why better organization—through problem-oriented documentation and structured data—is key to streamlining workflows, reducing costs, and enhancing patient care.
Beyond Notes: Why It Is Time to Abandon an Outdated Documentation Paradigm
The medical chart—including notes, labs, and imaging results—should be reconceptualized as a dynamic, fully collaborative workspace organized by topic rather than time, writer, or data type. This will lead to better clinical outcomes and higher job satisfaction among clinicians, who will suffer less with decreased cognitive burden.
Task definition, annotated dataset, and supervised natural language processing models for symptom extraction from unstructured clinical notes
We present a clinically motivated task definition, dataset, and simple supervised natural language processing models to demonstrate the feasibility of building clinically applicable information extraction tools
