Paper forms, as well as a reliance on outdated admin, directly contribute to burnout in the healthcare sector. This applies to not just administrative workers, but also clinicians. It can have a knock-on effect on every healthcare professional working in the NHS.

Voice Technologies, a leading provider of clinical workflow solutions in the UK, has announced a strategic partnership with Corti, the global pioneer in AI infrastructure for healthcare.

The benefits of switching from paper forms to digital forms are fairly self-explanatory: improved data accuracy, enhanced compliance, lower admin costs and streamlined workflows. But those benefits won’t materialise overnight.

Voice Technologies has, once again, been appointed as a supplier on NHS Shared Business Services’ (NHS SBS) Digital Dictation, Speech Recognition and Outsourced Transcription 2 Framework Agreement.

Admin burnout can be insidious. It can be hard to tell whether you’re just very busy, or you’re completely overloaded. But in frantic sectors like healthcare, burnout is always a risk. And while you can’t magically make your pile of admin disappear, there are a number of ways you can prevent that burnout - and boost your mental health in the process.

Until fairly recently, speech recognition software wasn’t much more than a novelty. Even once it started to break into the workplace, it was still largely deemed as a luxury, and not something professionals would actually rely on to help them through their work day. Now, speech recognition is a necessity for many professionals - and that’s largely down to the emergence of medical dictation.

Speech recognition tech has evolved into far more than just a novelty. For a lot of professionals, particularly in healthcare, legal and administrative roles, speech recognition has become a necessity. But there are a lot of platforms out there, so what’s the best voice typing software?

The UK healthcare sector can be incredibly demanding, particularly the NHS, so admin efficiency is vital. Typically, though, admin efficiency is hard to come by. The NHS’s systems are notoriously outdated and largely paper-based. This not only slows processes down, but can also incur significant costs. It’s also just far more taxing, for admin professionals and medical professionals alike.

In recent years, as the administrative burden on the NHS has escalated, time-savers like medical dictation have become less a luxury, and more a necessity. Faced with mounting patient demand and the pressure to cut down waiting lists, efficiency in the healthcare sector has never been more important. WinVoiceWeb, which we developed in collaboration with the NHS, is designed to help healthcare professionals cut down the time they’re spending on repetitive admin, and free up that time for better patient care.
