Nextgen’s EHR system is used by thousands of Doctors and Nurses and clinical admins in several hundreds of clinics and hospitals. Nextgen’s mobile app mainly focuses on improving doctor’s productivity, meaning, we want the doctor to spend more time with the patients, not with the computers. The type of doctors we focus on tend to write more notes about patient visits and it takes a long time to do so. Also, it takes time to search for patient information on computer. So, the mobile app comes in handy in this situation. When the doctor walks into the patient room she has all the information about the patient readily available in her hand. The doctor doesn’t have to sit and write any notes on the computer instead she can simply talk to the app. Behind the scenes we take the audio and send to speech recognition engine to convert to text, proofread it, and then document it as an Electronic Health Record. This saves a lot of time for the doctor and allows them to be more productive and see a few more patients every day. AI/ML and NLU technologies are used in the app to enhance the productivity of doctors further.
