I believe this approach will have a measurable impact on patient experience, as it allows clinicians to concentrate on the patient and the family. This technology captures essential clinical details from conversations needed to document an accurate, comprehensive picture of the patient's health, and enables the physician to take on a review-and-edit role, enhancing productivity, quality of care, and the patient experience.

However, new technology should be approached with caution. While some early adopters may quickly become comfortable with it, a phased rollout with champions within the organization can help address concerns. While technology has promised to simplify healthcare, there have been unintended consequences. Initial experiences with this technology, however, have helped alleviate some worries, and as more people start to use it, we will understand its value more clearly.
