Clinical documentation remains a major source of inefficiency across healthcare. Manual charting is time-consuming, error-prone, and burdensome, especially in high-acuity settings like emergency medicine, where providers need to move quickly and stay focused on patients, not paperwork.
A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that U.S. physicians spent an estimated 125 million hours outside of office hours completing documentation in 2019. Even though 64% of surveyed physicians were satisfied with their EHR systems, 58% felt the time spent documenting was inappropriate and took away from patient care, while 85% said billing-related requirements significantly added to their documentation burden.
Physicians routinely spend 1.8 hours per day after hours finishing notes, entering codes, and navigating EHRs, contributing to burnout, delayed revenue cycles, and reduced clinical capacity.
As Tele911 expanded to serve more patients nationwide, one challenge became increasingly clear: scaling its business.
A clear limiting factor was the amount of time their physicians had to spend charting. With each visit requiring around 10 minutes of documentation, and approximately 144 million 911 calls eligible for Tele911’s services, they would be losing 1.4 billion minutes per year to charting that could potentially be spent seeing patients instead – the equivalent of about 93 million doctor visits per year.
Tele911 turned to VSee for a quick, practical solution. In just two weeks, it had customized AI Doctor Notes tested and implemented directly into its workflow, solving the documentation bottleneck at scale.
The results were immediate:
