I finish notes before I leave now—that alone has been a game changer.

Rural GP, Pilot Site

Implementation

  • Resilient transcription pipeline with auto-retries
  • Lightweight templates matching local workflows
  • Targeted onboarding with small cohort pilots

Challenges

  • Intermittent connectivity impacting real-time workflows
  • Limited local IT support across remote sites
  • Scheduling constraints across small clinical teams

Timeline

  • Prep (Weeks 1–2): Connectivity assessment; offline fallback design
  • Pilot (Weeks 3–5): 2 sites; measured after-hours charting; tuned retry thresholds
  • Scale (Weeks 6–9): Expanded to remaining 6 sites; weekly pulse checks

Stakeholders

  • Rural clinical champions
  • Regional IT support partner
  • Network quality and safety advisor

Lessons learned

  • Offline-first patterns prevent churn in low-connectivity regions
  • Selecting the right pilot sites accelerates belief and adoption
  • Champion networks are crucial when central IT is limited
