A tangent, but there is an unspoken need for natural language processing/interpretation in EHR charting for nurses.
Very often, you enter values manually into a flow sheet around that status of a patient (ie vitals, PQRST for pain, assessments) but you may also enter a supporting note around the circumstances of your charting.
It would be beyond helpful to have an interpreter to pull in data within that note to place it within the appropriate data fields. It would eliminate a significant portion of duplicate charting.
I am putting it out there, because this is beyond me to solve this issue from a technical standpoint.
Soulver looks like a tiny step in that direction/way of thinking.
- zdragnar 7y agoIs this really a good solution? My biggest concern is more psychological than technical. If the error rate of interpretation is too high, then it obviously won't reduce the effort. However, if the error rate is low, then the errors are much more likely to be overlooked. The enemy of good may be perfect, but it seems that the closer to (without being) perfect the interpreter, the worse the outcome for the patient.
