Home Technology Artificial Intelligence Aster Hospitals adopts AI-powered speech recognition solution across its UAE facilities The latest technology assists healthcare professionals to improve patient care and documentation quality by Gulf Business September 7, 2022 Aster Hospitals in a strategic collaboration with 3M has successfully adopted 3M M*Modal Fluency Direct, the latest speech and AI-powered technology. The technology went live across Aster’s facilities in the UAE last month. The all-in-one solution will enable physicians of any medical specialty to conversationally create, review, edit and sign clinical notes directly within electronic health records. This technology will ensure standardisation and acceleration of clinical documentation processes across Aster hospitals and will reduce the administrative burden on healthcare professionals. Furthermore, it will help to improve the clinician and patient experience and drive productivity in the healthcare sector. Commenting on the technology, Laszlo Svinger, vice president and managing director at 3M Middle East and Africa said: “Through this solution, we are helping healthcare professionals to improve documentation processes and focus on improving the patient experience by allowing them more time to care for their patient.” The technology uses AI to deliver proactive nudges to clinicians as they document patient encounters in the electronic health records, which enables them to proactively address any common documentation deficiencies, at the time of note creation. This will improve the quality of documentation, enable more accurate coding and appropriate reimbursement, in addition to improving patient safety. Mohamed Al Holibi, regional business manager at 3M Health Information Systems added: “We are extremely proud of our partnership with Aster Hospitals and are happy to see how 3M™ M*Modal Fluency Direct is creating time for physicians; and making a positive impact both on physicians’ and patients’ experiences. This technology is helping clinicians in all care settings to capture the complete and accurate patient story while simultaneously focusing on delivering high quality patient care.” Padam Kafle, head of IT and Automation at Aster Hospitals said: “We believe that 3M Fluency Direct will help us ensure standardisation and acceleration of clinical documentation processes across all Aster facilities. At the same time, this technology will reduce the administrative burden on our physicians, giving them some time back to spend with their patients.” Read: Spinneys, Aster Pharmacy JV to launch supermarket wellness concept Tags Artificial Intelligence Aster Healthcare Technology 0 Comments You might also like How agentic AI will boost the digital economy across the Middle East Talabat plunges over 7.5% in Dubai trading debut after $2bn IPO Informa’s Adam Andersen on how CPHI ME is building bridges in the pharma sector Apple announces major retail expansion in Saudi Arabia
