An artificial intelligence tool designed to speed up the discharge of patients is being trialled at a hospital trust in longon.
The Platform Completes Documents Needed to send fit patients home, potentially saving hours of delays and freeing up beds.
Wes streming, the health secretary, said the tech will enable doctors to spend less time on paperwork and more time focused on care, cutting waiting time in the process.

This helps medicine to draft discharge summaries, which have to be completeted before a person is sent home from from hospital.
The document is then reviewed by Healthcare Professionals Responsible for the Patient and Used to Send them Home or Refer it to Other Services.
