Abstract

Currently in many countries in Europe there is a lack of medical staff in hospitals, and mostly physicians, also the physicians employed are overwhelmed by different activities and by a high number of patients. In many cases due to the lack of time the physicians are helped by other medical staff to fill the observations in the observation sheet. Many times some observations are recorded badly or omitted. This paper offers a solution to this problem, by proposing an electronic patient clinical observation sheet which will store the physician observations in audio files. This can bring noticeable improvements regarding the time spent by the physician to write on the observation sheet the evolution of the patient and the recommended medication. The observations are recorded in audio files converted in text using cloud services. The text files are added to the observation sheet, allowing the physician to use the time efficiently.
