Clinical Immunologist Dr Liam Beiglari was spending 20 minutes per patient on dictation with his previous service. With Lyrebird, he saves 10 to 15 minutes per patient, runs on time, and finds the work enjoyable.
Dr Liam Beiglari practices as a Clinical Immunologist at Macquarie Respiratory and Sleep. Like many specialists, he dictates his letters with the patient in the room. It keeps correspondence timely and accurate. But his previous dictation service had made the process slow and draining.
After the consult, another 10 to 15 minutes would go into reformatting the transcript, correcting punctuation, and removing everything the tool had captured that it should not have. The total: around 20 minutes per patient, every patient.
Dr Liam started with Lyrebird expecting a better transcription service. The turning point came when he understood how to get the most from it.
The key realisation: he could dictate directly into Lyrebird and it would format the letter precisely, every time. He is also in the process of moving macros across from his previous system.
"It's like having a professional typist on call at any time of the day."
Efficiency was what Dr Liam was looking for. What he did not anticipate was how the experience of doing the work would change.
He is clear that his role remains to review and correct the output. The clinical judgement is his. But the experience of getting there has fundamentally changed.
Handling sensitive clinical information is a core part of Dr Liam's practice. Knowing exactly where patient data goes, and where it stays, was a meaningful part of his confidence in the tool.
