Abstract

In many hospitals all over the world there is an acute lack of physicians; in addition, doctors who are working in hospitals are overwhelmed by the number of patients and other administrative duties which they must do. Due to the specific of the work many operations/procedures/activities must be done manually and there are no automated systems which could improve the quality of the medical service and the efficient usage of the physician’s time. In this paper we propose a service system designed to help physicians to automate the work of registering patient clinical observations into the patient clinical observation sheet. The procedure of registering observations can be time consuming in some situations due to the numerous parameters which must be registered. The proposed system uses voice to text conversion engine to register the observations; thus, doctors spend much less time to review the clinical observations and eventually make corrections if necessary.
