Speaker 1: You see in the big hospitals, multispeciality hospitals or specially in the government hospitals, one doctor is there and they are diagnosing too many patients at the same time, especially in the government hospital, this thing you already seen because there are too many patients at the same time. In also in the big multispeciality hospitals, queues of the patients are there and only one doctor are going to be treat them. And so the consultation time is very less and at the same time they need to diagnose, they need to see the symptoms and then they write the medicines. So in this situation, the most stressful job they are going to do, the physicians, is to write the symptoms, to write the diagnosis and then write the medicines. And also if there is any test they are recommended, then they need to write it. So this is the most stressful job for any physician or any health care provider to write all these documents. So in this case, in this stressful situation, too many doctors then hire an unprofessional person for writing this. But in case of health care, there are too many terminologies. It is complicated task also. Terminologies are too many and also abbreviations are very new. You don't know, if any person don't know about anatomy and system of our organ, human system, then he is unaware of that job and the result into failure of that job.

He has a role of saving the documents regarding their diagnostic imaging report, then appointment details, then discharge summary.
