Create a discharge summary in under 10 minutes
How Indian hospitals move from a multi-hour discharge summary to a doctor-reviewed draft in under 10 minutes — without replacing the HIS or removing the attending.
A reviewable draft, not a four-hour retype.
Where the four hours go
The clock starts when the patient is fit to leave and stops when a signed summary exists. In between: hunting notes, retyping history, aligning diagnosis language with the bill, and waiting for the one doctor who can sign. None of that is “the AI is slow.” Most of it is assembly.
The under-10-minute path
Upload or scan the case file. The model drafts the hospital template: history, course, procedures, advice, and ICD support. A doctor (or MT + doctor) edits and signs. Export the pack. That is the whole product path. Deeper HIS integration can come later; the pilot does not wait on it.
“Under 10 minutes” is draft-to-review on a prepared file, not a promise that every medico-legal outlier collapses to a coffee break. Complex ICU courses still need judgment. They should not need another hour of copying yesterday’s note.
What to measure on the ward
Time from “file ready” to first draft. Minutes the doctor spends in review. Same-shift sign-off rate. Those three tell you if the ten-minute claim is real in your specialty. Occupancy and revenue are downstream — useful for a business case, not for the pilot scorecard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to operational, clinical, and billing questions about this topic.
QHow can a discharge summary be completed in under 10 minutes safely?
The 10-minute workflow shifts the doctor's role from manual transcriptionist to clinical reviewer. The AI extracts lab findings, surgical notes, and daily progress to pre-populate your hospital's template, allowing the attending to review, adjust, and sign in minutes.
QWho performs the initial upload and review — the doctor or a transcriptionist?
Hospitals use two flexible workflows: either the resident/attending interacts directly with the software, or a Medical Transcriptionist / MRD clerk runs the first verification pass before handing the draft to the consultant for final signature.
QHow does the system handle complex ICU cases with multi-week stays?
For extended ICU stays, Patient Lens synthesizes chronological trends, ventilator days, culture sensitivities, and medication titration into an organized course-in-hospital narrative, flagging critical events for consultant review.
QCan attendings sign and export summaries from mobile tablets during rounds?
Yes. Patient Lens has a responsive web interface optimized for hospital tablets, laptops, and desktop workstations, enabling doctors to review and sign drafts directly at the bedside or in their consultation room.
