About Us

By: Dr. Pavel Antiperovitch

A few years ago, my clinics were running late almost every day.

I wasn’t rushing patient care, and I wasn’t inefficient. I was simply drowning in documentation. By the end of the clinic, I was already behind. Patients were waiting in the room, understandably frustrated as many had travelled hours to see me. Meanwhile, I was trying to balance being attentive during clinical encounters while trying to ignore the constant pressure of notes piling up in the background.

Sound familiar? This is the unfortunate reality for many physicians across Canada. We know from the CMA Wellness Report that physicians spend, on average, 19 hours per week on paperwork. That’s time carved out of our evenings, weekends, and family life. And for many of us, it contributes directly to burnout. We all want to be present for our patients, but documentation increasingly feels like the thing is getting in the way. I used to joke with colleagues that it felt like I had an office job which would be occasionally interrupted by cardiac procedures, before returning to my paperwork.

I wanted to produce accurate, detailed medical notes but I also couldn’t afford the 2-3 hours per day I was spending dictating, editing, and catching up at night. Like many colleagues, I tried existing AI scribes and documentation tools. They helped, a little, but not enough. They struggled with complex cases, specialty-specific nuance, multimodal data, and flexible templates.

Rather than accepting this as the cost of modern practice, after I decided to try something different. I partnered with a colleague of mine, to build our own solution.

We developed QuickChart.MD — a Canadian-built AI scribe designed around real cardiology workflows and with the feedback from our friends and colleagues around us. The difference was immediate. Before QuickChart, I could see 10-12 consultations per day and still finish late. Today, I routinely see 20+ consults while spending the same amount of time with each patient

 We continue to build features specifically designed for the realities of specialist practice. Most recently, QuickChart introduced an integrated telehealth platform that allows physicians to directly phone or video-call patients within the same workflow used for transcription and documentation.   We have also developed advanced workflow tools such as automated study screeners, allowing physicians and research teams to identify, flag, and enroll eligible patients into clinical studies directly at the end of the consultation, helping ensure opportunities for research participation are not missed in busy clinics.  

When documentation becomes more efficient, physician time is freed up. Access improves. Patients are seen sooner. And in our overburdened healthcare system, that impact is real and measurable. QuickChart wasn’t built as a startup experiment, it was built out of necessity, by Canadian physicians, for Canadian practice realities. Today, physicians and healthcare providers across the country use it to reduce documentation burden without sacrificing note quality.
