Abstract:
Clinical documentation can be transformed by Electronic Health Records, yet the process remains tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone. These challenges are especially acute in the Emergency Department, where clinicians often see 35 patients per shift and must synthesize unfamiliar medical records quickly. MedKnowts is an integrated note-taking editor and information retrieval system that unifies documentation and search, providing concise concept-oriented slices of the patient's medical record. It automatically captures structured data while preserving the flexibility of natural language, enabling easier parsing of long notes, auto-populated text, and proactive information retrieval.
