We are continuously reviewing our systems in practice and implementing software and tools that we feel benefit our patients experience with the practice. This is why we are now using Heidi, an AI-powered medical scribe, to assist in documenting consultations.
What is Heidi Health?
Heidi Health is an advanced AI medical scribe designed to transcribe patient visits, generate clinical notes, fill out documents, and dictate letters.
It uses artificial intelligence to document medical notes, ensuring your clinician can focus on actively listening to your concerns and delivering personalised care, rather than spending time manually recording the notes themselves.
Any information that is captured is reviewed and approved before being saved in the medical record.
