MediRecords teams with Heidi Health for smarter clinical notes

AI note-taking technology to streamline clinical documentation will be available in MediRecords from October.

The leading cloud electronic health record and practice management system will offer an integration with Heidi Health’s AI Medical Scribe, enabling clinical consultations to be transformed into notes or documents in seconds. Doctors will not need to log into a separate software system, or cut and paste across browser tabs, thanks to embedded Heidi capability inside MediRecords.

Supporting millions of sessions per month, Heidi generates documents such as referral letters, clinical notes and Care Plans. With Heidi scribing, doctors can type less and reclaim time for patient care -- or better work-life balance.

MediRecords Founder and CEO Matthew Galetto said: “Everything we can do to improve working conditions for clinicians helps them provide better patient outcomes. We are excited about partnering with Heidi Health and our other AI initiatives on the way.”

Heidi Health Founder and CEO Dr Thomas Kelly said: “As a clinician, I recognise that doctors rarely experience benefits from introducing new tools. Heidi is the rare case where simply clicking a button can be life-changing, saving hours of work each day. We’re proud to be partnering with MediRecords, who have led the industry in cloud, interoperability and now, AI.”

Heidi Health data shows clinicians spend more than two hours per day on tasks other than patient care, losing up to $66,000 annually as a result. AI scribe technology means they can work up to twice as efficiently. Doctors who use Heidi report “getting home on time” and “taking their lunch break again.”

With a Heidi subscription, MediRecords users can launch AI ambient technology from their clinical dashboard, transforming consultations into templated notes for review by the user. Once reviewed, the notes are automatically added to MediRecords’ Today’s Notes field. Heidi Health technology is GDPR and APP (Australian Privacy principles) compliant and ISO27001 and SOC2 accredited for security.
