AI-based speech recognition in clinical documentation:

Case study on work practices and patient safety in Swedish hospital care

AI-Based Speech Recognition in Clinical Documentation

The project investigates how AI-based speech recognition for clinical documentation affects healthcare professionals’ work practices, documentation quality and perceived patient safety in a Swedish hospital setting.

Start date: 2026-06-30

End date: 2027-06-30

Through a case study, it examines how the technology becomes part of everyday documentation routines and how staff notice and respond to the system’s limitations in a digitalising healthcare environment.

The project is funded by Centre for Welfare Studies (CVS).
