Case Study: Ellesmere Medical Practice improves clinical documentation efficiency with SpeechWrite Digital

Ellesmere Medical Practice - Customer Case Study

Ellesmere Medical Practice, a busy GP practice in rural Shropshire, needed a better way to manage the large volume of clinical documentation created during consultations, referrals and administrative work. Its old analogue mini-cassette dictation process was slow, laborious and hard to track, especially for doctors working back-to-back appointments. SpeechWrite Digital helped address this with a digital dictation and voice recognition approach using Philips SpeechExec Pro and Dragon Medical Practice.

SpeechWrite Digital implemented digital recorders, automated dictation routing and healthcare-focused voice recognition so GPs could create typed text instantly and the secretarial team could receive, list and archive jobs more efficiently. The practice reported that documents were generated three times faster with 99% accuracy, while automation improved document sending and receipt, file recognition and auditability. Overall, the solution maximised clerical resources and reduced pressure on internal staff.
