Lifecare Smart Notes at South Ostrobothnia wellbeing services county
Lifecare Smart Notes used for AI-assisted dictation turning spoken language into structured documentation in the Lifecare record, piloted in social care and extended to healthcare professionals.
- What this means:
- The source has been read and our reading of it confirmed — the classifications that let this record be compared with others, the AI product, and the clinical use. That is a check of our work, not a judgement on the AI.
- What happens next:
- Nothing, unless this use case is taken up for assessment. Then the AI product and its clinical use are examined together in seven sections — purpose, evidence, CE conformity, legal duties, ethics, safety, and what a hospital must have in place — each signed by a named institution.
- Checked by:
- A named reviewer at the AIH Lab. This is an independent check: neither the organisation nor the vendor did it.

Full study description
EHR-embedded AI (Tier C5). Tietoevry reports a staged pilot at the South Ostrobothnia wellbeing services county from autumn 2024, with a third phase in September 2025 integrating AI-assisted documentation into Lifecare EHR Healthcare. Tietoevry quotes "AI-assisted dictation halved documentation time", "More than 65% of respondents said the solution had reduced documentation delays", and a separate Southwest Finland assessment that "AI can reduce the time spent on nursing documentation by up to 40%" — vendor-reported pilot findings, quoted only, never structured metrics. Documentation AI in a NON-HOSPITAL provider (wellbeing services county — org type provider). Underlying speech/language processing runs on Microsoft Azure. Not independently verified.
