Abstract

The appropriate recording and communication of clinical information between clinicians and patients are of paramount importance. Recently there has been a much-needed drive to improve the information that is shared with patients.1 However, the preparation of clinical letters can be time consuming. Although there has been an increase in the use of letter templates and voice recognition systems, with the aim of improving efficiency, novel technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) have the power to revolutionise this area of practice.
