Being a healthcare hero comes at a cost. Studies show burnout rates among medical professionals range from 16% to 86%, with an average of 57.4% — that is more than half of the healthcare workforce running on empty. It is crucial to address this issue directly, not just for the sake of doctors and nurses, but for everyone who might need medical care — which is everyone at some point.

To solve this, Visionet Ventures has launched Reteta, a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered clinical care application that aims to improve medical documentation and patient care delivery.

Improving Healthcare Documentation

Reteta uses ambient AI technology to simplify medical documentation. This lessens the heavy administrative workload on medical professionals. Arshad Masood, chief executive officer (CEO) of Visionet, explains its primary purpose:

“Reteta automates documentation and processes. More importantly, it brings back the joy of medicine to healthcare professionals and expands the possibilities of AI in healthcare.”

The application’s main feature automatically creates essential medical documents, including Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan (SOAP) notes, after-visit summaries, and referral letters. This automation can save healthcare providers up to two hours daily, allowing them to spend more time on patient care and less on paperwork.

When it comes to return on investment, Reteta is delivering results. According to the company, healthcare providers implementing this AI-powered solution can expect to see their investment return six times or more.

AI in Clinical Settings

Reteta’s AI-powered scribing tool, Reteta Skribe, is central to this advancement. It covers over 15 medical specialties, turning patient-physician interactions into detailed medical notes that clinicians can quickly review and sign.

Moreover, Reteta’s pre-charting feature changes how healthcare providers prepare for patient visits. Using AI, the system analyzes patient data, considers the reason for the visit, and even asks a few pertinent questions.

The result? A pre-charted context complete with suggestions for the visit agenda and a predictive assessment that can uncover potential conditions. This proactive medical documentation strategy saves time and improves the quality of care by making clinicians more well-prepared and informed before they even step into the examination room.

Furthermore, the tool’s ambient dictation and speech recognition features guarantee that 86% of notes need no edits. This helps reduce burnout among healthcare professionals, especially considering studies show that recovering from burnout takes three months to a year on average.

Masood highlights the potential of this technology, “Ambient AI handling documentation greatly reduces the manual work causing burnout, automating the most basic and repetitive tasks healthcare providers face daily.”

The company also offers medical coding through its Reteta Bcoder tool. This automates medical coding with 90% accuracy, offering a 70% productivity increase by reducing coding errors and claim denials and streamlining the billing process. It also makes way for more accurate and timely reimbursements for all the services rendered.

Easy Integration and Security

One of Reteta’s strengths is its ability to work smoothly with existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) workflows. Therefore, healthcare providers can benefit from improved efficiency without disrupting their current medical documentation systems.

“Our knowledge in integration makes way for easy adoption, fitting into existing workflows while improving efficiency in clinical settings,” shares Masood.

Security is a non-negotiable in medical documentation. Reteta offers this with end-to-end encryption and a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant framework. This protects sensitive patient information at every stage and allows healthcare providers to improve operational efficiency while maintaining high data protection standards.

A Bright Future for Medicine

Tools like Reteta show a future where technology and human proficiency work together to deliver better patient care. “We are confident Reteta will change how healthcare documentation is managed and play a massive role in improving overall healthcare delivery quality. This is just the start of what AI can do for medical documentation,” Masood concludes.

With AI as the new intern that never sleeps, the world might soon see a healthcare system where doctors can focus more on patients than paperwork.
