Heidi Health

Transcription technology – moving with the times to improve efficiency and clinical quality.

Heidi Health tool– A Doctor’s and Nurses Transcription Tool – Less time on the computer screen means more time for you.

We are continuously reviewing our systems in practice and implementing software and tools that we feel benefit our patients experience with the practice. We now use “Heidi health tool”, which is a smart computer helper (advanced, secure digital assistant) that doctors/nurses use to take notes during your visit.

It allows your clinician to focus entirely on you during your visit or phone call, while still allowing them to accurately capture medical information. This ensures a comprehensive and precise record of your care. It listens to what the clinicians and patients say and writes it down, so the doctors/nurses/administrative staff don’t have to type up your medical notes or information that you provide to us.

Why do GPs or members of the multidisciplinary team within the practice use Heidi health tool?

  • More time for you – The clinician/administrative staff can listen and talk to you instead of writing.
  • Fewer mistakes – Everything you say is written down correctly.
  • Efficient time management – Less time on paperwork means more appointments and time for patients.

Is my information safe?

Yes! Heidi health tool follows all the rules to keep your details private. It records your visit, makes notes, and then deletes the recording. Heidi health tool adheres to stringent UK compliance frameworks, including the Data Protection Act, GDPR, and NHS data safety standards. This ensures that your personal information is handled securely and confidentially. All data is hosted within the UK, enhancing security and compliance with local data protection regulations.

Audio is used for generating notes and not stored permanently. This is processed and then deleted immediately, ensuring your data remains private and secure. East Lynne Medical Centre has set an automatic deletion on the same day, ensuring your data remains private and secure.

Heidi health tool is already helping GPs and members of their multidisciplinary teams at many places with around 300,000 consultations per week on Heidi platform at GP Practices in the UK.

Your privacy and comfort are our top priorities. If you prefer not to have Heidi health tool involved, please do let your clinician/administrative staff know. This will not affect the quality of care you receive.
