• Healthcare organizations face numerous challenges, including the requirement to take accurate clinical notes during patient consultations.
• Clinical note creation impacts the efficiency of healthcare providers and led to errors such as missing critical patient information.
• The need to identify healthcare-specific terms in conversations and extract relevant metadata information, such as timestamps, the number of visits, medication lists, and vitals is critical, while protecting patient privacy and data security.
• Employing traditional methods to recognize the voices of doctors/providers, patients, and nurses; identify the conversation’s context; and summarize it into easily accessible text delays the process.
• Furthermore, extracting relevant data from the doctor-patient transcript for processing claims without errors to submit to payers took a long time for the client.
