System C slashes administrative workload in UK health and social care

System C has developed a generative AI solution leveraging Azure OpenAI, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure SQL Database to reduce administrative tasks for health and social care professionals in the UK. The AI assistant drafts documentation and referrals from clinician-patient and social worker-citizen interactions, integrating with CareFlow EPR and Liquidlogic management platforms. Clinicians review AI-generated notes before approval to maintain quality. Initial pilots in local authorities and an NHS trust highlight significant time and cost savings: over 60% reduction in admin time per task for clinicians and up to 45 minutes saved for social worker assessments. Potential non-cash savings exceed £5 million annually per NHS trust. The initiative aims to combat staff burnout and raise quality of care by enabling more patient time. System C plans to expand AI functionalities for additional use cases, partnering with customers for ongoing innovation.
