DOKTA - Testing and assessment of Ambient Scribe, AI-based speech-to-text solutions in the Region of Southern Denmark

Ambient Scribe, AI-based speech-to-text solutions, can potentially reduce this burden by translating conversations between clinicians and patients into medical records in real time. International experience points to up to 20-30% time savings, but also to the need for local testing and adaptation before the technology can be widely implemented.

This project is the first in Denmark to evaluate two Ambient Scribe, AI-based speech-to-text solutions in a broad clinical setup across specialties and hospitals. The testing will be conducted in seven departments at OUH, Lillebælt Hospital, Sønderjylland Hospital and Odense Psychiatry. The project will create a solid basis for decisions on possible implementation and dissemination.

Aim

The goal is to assess the technology's impact in four key areas:

1. Documentation quality
2. Time consumption
3. User experience
4. Economic impact

The test is conducted in three types of interviews:

1. Ward rounds (complex and extensive notes in motion)
2. Ambulatory (longer and more structured interviews)
3. Acute situations (short, unpredictable interviews under time pressure)

By comparing the two solutions - Corti Assistant and Tandem via Omilon - in realistic clinical environments, an evidence-based decision-making basis is created for future purchases and implementation.

Partners

The project is led by CAI-X in collaboration with:

• Odense University Hospital, including the HTA unit
• Lillebælt Hospital
• Sønderjylland Hospital
• Odense Psychiatry
• Regional IT
• Tech partners: Corti and Omilon (Tandem)

The project is anchored in the Strategy Group for Clinical Production and supports the ambitions of labour-saving technologies, better documentation quality and more time for patients.
