Abstract

Clinical documentation within Electronic Health Records (EHRs) requires automation beyond conventional generation methods; we propose a specialized AI-driven framework. Delays in data entry and elevated error rates—persistent challenges in operations—are addressed through the integration of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), a collaborative Multi-Agent System (MAS), and Bayesian uncertainty estimation. Generated notes are dynamically grounded in patient history, a technique that differs from standard natural language processing by actively mitigating hallucinations. In an offline, simulated proof-of-concept evaluation built on the MIMIC-IV dataset with synthetic voice samples, the framework achieves an approximately 50% reduction in documentation time alongside a 96.3% form-completion accuracy. We emphasize that these results were obtained in a simulated setting rather than a live clinical deployment, and prospective validation in real clinical environments remains future work. Epistemic uncertainty quantification is incorporated to identify ambiguous inputs, a mechanism that emphasizes clinical safety over automation efficiency. The remainder of the analysis covers architectural details, algorithmic calibration procedures, and ethical considerations essential for deployment in healthcare environments.
