Providers save an average of up to 8-10 hours per week on clinical documentation. This is a game changer when it comes to discussing physician well-being and effectiveness.
Here are some notable customer sentiments:
- “Sunoh.ai understands my accent and provides almost 90% or more accuracy in transcribing clinical documentation. It is a lifeline for doctors who want to work efficiently and reduce typing hours as it diverts attention from patient care,” said Dr Ganesh Balu of Regional Medical Associates.
- “Previously, when we worked with medical students, it was difficult to provide transcription reports on time. On busy days, capturing the complete History of Current Illness (HPI) and other crucial details was often missed due to lack of time. However, with Sunoh.ai, there has been a significant improvement as we can now capture more information in less time,” said Dr. Joseph Uzosike of Goodtime Family Care.
- “We implemented Sunoh.ai for both in-office patient visits and telehealth and telephone services. Sunoh.ai helped free up our doctors, which helped us better optimize our resources. We can expand our health care services; from being a comprehensive primary care practice, we now offer chronic care management to our patient community,” said Anand Rao of Canyonville Health and Urgent Care.
- “As a family doctor, we organize patient visits involving several stakeholders. For example, a young girl came to our clinic, accompanied by her mother. As she explained her ordeal with period pain, her mother jumped into the conversation to offer her observations. Sunoh.ai perfectly identifies and transcribes each speaker. This is a game changer for our family practice as it effectively handles situations involving multiple stakeholders during a patient visit,” said Dr. Amarachi Uzosike of Goodtime Family Care.
