SOAPsuds AI Medical Scribe vs Medical Dictation Tool: A Short Review

EHRs have greatly improved the modern healthcare system – providing easier access to patient data, improving adherence to insurance and billing standards, and enhancing the accuracy of medical records, to name just a few. Because of these benefits, more than 85% of office-based physicians now use an EHR system in their practice.

However, the widespread adoption of EHRs has led to several unintended problems, including rising rates of physician burnout, decreased clinical efficiency, and lower patient satisfaction. The main cause of these issues is the administrative workload EHRs have imposed on today’s physicians.

The good news is that the healthcare technology industry has quickly responded to these challenges by creating various solutions aimed at reducing the administrative load on doctors and helping them return to a focus on patient care. These solutions include a medical dictation tool, which allows physicians to dictate their notes instead of typing them, and AI-powered medical scribes, which can handle the note-taking process on their own. Let’s take a closer look at these two technologies and how to choose the best option for you.

What is a Medical Dictation Tool?

Medical dictation tools use voice recognition technology to convert spoken words into written text. It works by capturing speech through a microphone and transcribing it into text in real-time. Using these tools, a physician can record conversations with patients, often repeating or summarizing key details for the system, allowing them to focus more on their patients instead of the computer.

How Medical Dictation Tools Compare to SOAPsuds?

If you're using dictation tools/software for your notes, you may have noticed that you’re still spending as much time on documentation as before. This is because dictation software just replaces typing with summarizing, dictating, and editing. As a result, it doesn't effectively reduce the administrative burden on doctors.

At SOAPsuds, we aim to bring back the joy of patient care by fully automating the note-taking process. Our AI medical scribe listens to your conversations with patients, transcribes them in real-time, and filters out unnecessary details, leaving only the essential medical information for your notes. 

Unlike medical dictation software, SOAPsuds lets you:

Focus on the Patient

There’s no need to dictate or summarize patient responses during a visit. With SOAPsuds’ natural language processing, you can continue the conversation normally, knowing that the most relevant medical information is being captured.

See More Patients

With the extra time you save, you can decide how to spend it. Some of our clients see more patients, while others use the time to enjoy their evenings with family. Many do both.
