In this episode of Talking HealthTech, host Sophie Turner speaks with Dr Brian Zimmerman to discuss clinical AI-based speech recognition as a tool for healthcare to address workforce shortages, clinician burnout & digital transformation.

Dr Zimmerman, an expert in deploying speech recognition platforms in healthcare settings, shares insights from his experience transitioning hospitals to electronic health record (EHR) systems, the burden on healthcare providers inherent to these systems, and how integrating speech recognition technology can help alleviate these issues.

Key Takeaways:

- Speech Recognition in Healthcare: Dr Zimmerman highlights the significant impact of speech recognition technology like Dragon Medical One on healthcare providers' efficiency, particularly in reducing the clerical load and documentation errors associated with EHR systems.

- Global Health Issues and Technology Solutions: Similarities between healthcare challenges faced in the US, Australia, and globally, such as physician burnout and workforce shortages, are discussed, along with how technology can address these issues.

- Integrating Speech Recognition: The use of voice commands within Dragon Medical One to navigate EHR systems effectively is emphasized, including the automation of common workflow tasks which can significantly reduce the number of clicks and time spent on documentation.

- Future of AI in Healthcare: Dr Zimmerman speaks about the Dragon Ambient Experience (DAX), which uses AI to listen to patient visits and create structured clinical documentation automatically.

- Deployment of Speech Recognition: Best practices for deploying speech recognition technology are explored, suggesting that it should be done either prior to or simultaneously with EHR training for maximum benefit.
