Abstract

<p> Reforms in the way physicians work will take effect on April 1, 2024. These reforms will require an increase in labor productivity within a limited time frame. In this study, we implemented digital transformation (DX) using a voice recognition system and task shifting to medical administrative assistants to reduce the time required for medical record entry.<br> Smartphones equipped with a speech recognition system were used to record the details of consultations and surgeries during rounds on the ward, as well as to prepare referral letters and return letters, to investigate how much time could be saved by charting compared to the traditional manual input method.<br> Our findings suggest that chart entry time was reduced by an average of approximately 5 min per patient for initial consultations and approximately 1 min for follow-up consultations.<br> Using DX and shifting tasks to medical assistants significantly reduced charting time and improved worker productivity.</p>
