Every medical practice is heavily burdened with the increasing amount of paperwork required for each clinician and physician to complete. Physicians spend more than 20 hours per week executing administrative tasks such as patient documentation, and up to 50% of their day spent inside their EHR, with that number being a bit conservative post-pandemic crisis. We know that accurate and timely documentation of a patient’s visit is critical to communicate effectively with other he

We have seen such a jump in the growth of these types of technologies, and many end-users blend the terminology to describe the same thing, but they are se
