I now complete 90% of my notes during clinic instead of after hours. Empathia allows me to capture information accurately and comprehensively in real-time.
The challenge
Before Empathia
Before Empathia, I faced a common yet significant challenge: the overwhelming burden of clinical documentation. I found myself spending "2–3 hours every evening catching up on charting." This meant that after a full day of seeing patients, my evenings were consumed by administrative tasks, leaving little time for personal life and rest. This unsustainable workflow not only impacted my work-life balance but also potentially contributed to burnout.
Dr. Aghogho Oyibo is a dedicated Family Physician practicing in a bustling outpatient clinic in Ontario. Her commitment to her patients is evident in her demanding schedule, which often extended beyond typical clinic hours.
The Transformation
After Empathia
Key Improvements
By joining the Canadian Health Infoway program, I integrated Empathia into my daily clinic workflow, transforming my documentation process. As many of my patients are new consults, I now efficiently creates intake summaries on Empathia, incorporating past referrals and test results. This initial step sets the stage for a seamless dictation process, where I can dictate a full history and treatment plan to complete the patient's note. This approach allows me to capture information accurately and comprehensively in real-time.
The implementation of Empathia brought about a remarkable transformation in Dr. Oyibo's documentation workflow. She proudly states, "I now complete 90% of my notes during clinic instead of after hours." This significant improvement means that the vast majority of her charting is done during her regular work hours, eliminating the need for extensive after-hours catch-up. The most profound impact of this change is the return of her personal time, as she eloquently puts it, "It bought me my evenings back." This newfound efficiency not only benefits Dr. Oyibo personally but also allows her to be more present and refreshed for her patients.
