A pioneering AI copilot tool - proven to reduce admin time for healthcare professionals by up to 80% - will be made available to 40,000 frontline workers across 76 NHS trusts this year, thanks to a new partnership between Corti and BigHand.
Designed to relieve some of the pressures facing over-burdened and under-resourced healthcare professionals during all stages of patient interactions, Corti is a highly-specialised healthcare AI platform that augments patient consultations in real time.
Its groundbreaking technology not only handles a significant proportion of non-clinical tasks, but also quality assures, journals, codes, nudges, prompts, and documents every patient interaction - reducing the margin for error by up to 40% and freeing up healthcare professionals to focus more on patients and less on paperwork.
BigHand - which provides solutions that help busy medical professionals accelerate patient correspondence, reduce clinical admin, and ease budget pressures - will be making Corti’s full-suite of cutting edge AI technology available to 76 of its partnered NHS Trusts.
The partnership follows the news that the new Labour government is promising UK patients an additional 40,000 appointments every week - further highlighting the growing demand on the NHS to deliver high quality care.
BigHand and Corti’s collaboration will mean the Corti tech is easy to deploy to all existing BigHand clients as well as potential new customers. Corti has been built to be easily implemented into every BigHand workflow. Additionally, BigHand is being enabled to offer the UK market an “off the shelf” version or be implemented into existing BigHand software. Corti can be used by doctors, nurses, care coordinators and any other healthcare worker interacting directly with patients under pressure.
Florian Schwiecker, Chief Partnerships Officer at Corti, said, “Built exclusively for healthcare, you can trust Corti’s AI to deliver world-class accuracy and work hard around the clock. It will be the easiest employee you never hired, relieving the administrative burden that can get in the way of quality patient care as well as offering active assistance while the patient is in the room.
“I’ve known and worked with BigHand for many years and due to the strength of its market position and reputation in the UK Healthcare market, this partnership was a no-brainer. BigHand is a highly valued partner to over 75 healthcare organisations in the UK and with a shared goal of supercharging customer workflows, we are confident that our collaboration will have a profound impact on thousands of healthcare professionals and their patients, right at the time they need it most.”
Steve Russell, MD of Healthcare to BigHand, added, “When Corti approached us about this partnership and we saw how powerful the technology was, we were very excited. Our streamlined workflows have already been helping so many Trusts but with this advanced AI technology, we can accelerate this further. I am excited to see how working together will benefit so many Trusts, and more importantly, patients."
