<p dir="ltr">Within Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems, physicians face extensive documentation, leading to alarming mental burnout. The disproportionate focus on data entry over direct patient care underscores a critical concern. Integration of Natural Language Processing (NLP) powered EHR systems offers relief by reducing time and effort in record maintenance.</p><p dir="ltr">Our research introduces the Automated Electronic Health Record System, which not only transcribes dialogues but also employs advanced clinical text classification. With an accuracy exceeding 98.97%, it saves over 90% of time compared to manual entry, as validated on MIMIC III and MIMIC IV datasets.</p><p dir="ltr">In addition to our system's advancements, we explore integration of Diagnostic Decision Support System (DDSS) leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and transformers, aiming to refine healthcare documentation and improve clinical decision-making. We explore the advantages, like enhanced accuracy and contextual understanding, as well as the challenges, including computational demands and biases, of using various LLMs.</p>
