ZyDoc Offering No-Cost COVID-19 EHR Documentation Services
ZyDoc, a leading medical documentation company, is offering its services at no cost to all healthcare providers and hospitals affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This no-cost documentation service will allow them to work more efficiently while collecting data to combat COVID-19 and can be implemented immediately nationwide. The de-identified information collected will supplement data obtained from clinical trials so we can benefit from the collective wisdom of our medical community.
According to ZyDoc’s CEO, James M. Maisel, M.D., a New York-based retina surgeon, “Detailed medical records will provide critical data to best treat the viral pandemic. We need to collect this information expeditiously to supplement therapeutic trials starting March 24, 2020 in New York. These trials will establish important data sets that hopefully will quickly validate which specific treatments are safe and efficacious.”
Prior to the pandemic, the average doctor was spending almost six hours daily working on patient data entry at their office or the hospital, with over fifty percent of physicians facing burnout. Now, it is more imperative than ever that we improve their efficiency and quickly develop safe and effective treatments for hundreds of thousands of infected patients. The sheer increase in workload of these acutely ill patients will heavily tax our physicians. The company’s cutting-edge, dictation-based services allow providers to create their medical records 61% faster than traditional data entry methods by using a smartphone, tablet, telephone or digital recorder.
Fortunately, despite many hospitals having to double their capacity, ZyDoc has a HIPAA-compliant, scalable platform that requires no software installation, IT personnel or extensive training. Start-up can be the same day, even in facilities that are set up as temporary hospitals, so doctors can start dictating immediately. The transcribed dictations are then automatically inserted into the appropriate sections of any cloud-based EHR.
In this crisis, ZyDoc gives doctors the flexibility to dictate from anywhere, and offers a documentation solution that is more accurate and much faster than keyboard and mouse, scribes and speech recognition software. Scribes are an HR burden and their numbers will now be dwindling with at least ten percent of healthcare workers currently infected with the virus. Speech recognition is only marginally better but only one-third of doctors have successfully adopted the complex technology. Lastly, keyboard and mouse is less efficient with the average doctor being able to dictate three times faster than typing.
ZyDoc is ready to help facilitate the gathering of COVID-19 data as accurately and quickly as possible. The more data we collect, the sooner we will be successful in developing therapies to defeat this virus.
