Corti ambient documentation on Donbank Ward
NHS Grampian nurses reported nearly 70% less documentation time in a Corti pilot
Problem
Ward nurses reconstructed conversations after patient encounters to complete clinical records. This paperwork competed with time spent listening to patients.
Approach
NHS Grampian's Innovation Hub piloted Corti at Inverurie Hospital's Donbank Ward. The system listened to conversations and generated structured notes for nurses to review and edit before finalisation. Staff also corrected difficulties recognising the local Doric dialect.
Results
Takeaway
Nurses retained responsibility for reviewing the generated notes. The time reduction was an early staff-reported result from a ward pilot.
