40,000 NHS Healthcare Workers to Get AI Tool That Cuts Admin Time by 80%

A new partnership between Corti and BigHand will bring a specialized AI tool to 40,000 healthcare workers across 76 NHS trusts. The tool is designed to reduce administrative work by up to 80%, giving staff more time to focus on patient care.

Corti, founded in 2016, has processed over 100 million patient interactions, refining its AI to suit healthcare environments. BigHand specializes in workflow and documentation tools for healthcare providers, aiming to reduce admin tasks and improve efficiency.

Corti’s AI platform supports healthcare workers during patient interactions, handling tasks like documenting, coding, and quality assurance. Reportedly, it reduces errors by up to 40% and automates much of the paperwork involved in consultations. The system works in real time, taking notes, providing prompts, and ensuring documentation is accurate.

BigHand, which provides workflow tools to healthcare organizations, will make Corti’s technology available to its NHS clients. The system can be easily implemented into existing workflows and will be offered to both new and current users. It is designed to be used by a wide range of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and care coordinators.

The announcement comes as the Labour government promises an extra 40,000 patient appointments per week, increasing pressure on NHS staff to deliver high-quality care. The AI tool aims to help healthcare workers manage this growing workload.

Florian Schwiecker, Chief Partnerships Officer at Corti, said:

“Corti’s AI is built specifically for healthcare and is designed to make the job easier for staff. It handles a large part of the administrative burden so healthcare workers can focus on their patients.”

Steve Russell, MD of Healthcare at BigHand, added:

“Our workflows already help many NHS trusts, and this partnership with Corti will take that further. The AI technology will save time and reduce stress for healthcare workers while improving patient care.”
