Voice to Text for Healthcare Administrators
Your day is consumed by documentation that keeps the organization running but steals time from strategic leadership. Blurt lets you draft policies, compliance reports, staff communications, and budget justifications by voice while managing everything else. Hold a button, say what you need to document, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — Word, email, compliance portals, board presentation software, anywhere. No training mode. No foot pedals. Just talk and your administrative expertise becomes polished documentation.
The Typing Problem
Policy documentation that never ends
The Joint Commission survey is in six weeks and seventeen policies need updating. Each one requires careful language about procedures, responsibilities, and compliance requirements. You know exactly what needs to change, but typing it all out takes hours. Your calendar is packed with meetings, so policy updates happen at 7 PM when you should be home with your family.
Compliance reports with precise language requirements
CMS wants a corrective action plan by Friday. State surveyors need your quality assurance documentation by month end. OSHA requires updated safety protocols. Each report demands specific terminology and careful phrasing. You spend more time typing and formatting than actually thinking through the solutions. The mental work takes minutes; the documentation takes hours.
Staff communications that require diplomacy
You need to announce a policy change that affects three departments. The message must be clear but not alarming, directive but not dictatorial. You know exactly the tone you want to strike. But crafting that email while fielding interruptions and managing your inbox means a five-minute message takes thirty minutes of fragmented typing.
Budget justifications that determine your department's future
The CFO wants a detailed justification for the new patient safety initiative. You need to articulate costs, projected outcomes, regulatory requirements, and return on investment. The narrative is clear in your head, but translating it to a compelling written document means hours hunched over a keyboard when you should be in meetings advocating for resources.
Quality improvement documentation that proves your value
Every quality initiative requires documentation: baseline metrics, intervention descriptions, outcome measurements, lessons learned. You're running five QI projects simultaneously. Each one generates pages of documentation that prove your team is making a difference. But the documentation itself is drowning the people who should be implementing improvements.

Real Scenarios
Drafting policy updates before accreditation surveys
The infection control policy needs updating to reflect new CDC guidance. You hold your hotkey and speak: 'All clinical staff must perform hand hygiene using alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water before and after every patient contact. Documentation of hand hygiene compliance will be maintained through direct observation by unit managers with a minimum of ten observations per staff member per month.' Policy section drafted in 20 seconds instead of 5 minutes of careful typing.
Writing corrective action plans for regulators
CMS cited a deficiency in medication storage. You need a corrective action plan by end of week. Hold the button and dictate: 'Immediate action: All medications requiring refrigeration have been audited and temperature logs verified for the past 90 days. Systemic change: Pharmacy will conduct weekly refrigerator temperature audits with findings reported to the Quality Committee. Responsible party: Director of Pharmacy. Target completion: March 15, 2026.' Professional response created while walking between meetings.
Composing all-staff communications
A new visitor policy takes effect Monday. Staff need clear guidance without causing alarm. Hold, speak: 'Effective Monday, March 3rd, all visitors must check in at the main lobby desk and receive a visitor badge before proceeding to patient units. This change supports our patient safety initiatives and aligns with updated Joint Commission standards. Please direct any visitor questions to your unit manager.' Diplomatic communication done in 15 seconds.
Building budget justification narratives
You need three paragraphs explaining why the new patient monitoring system is worth $400,000. Instead of typing while the CFO waits, you dictate: 'Current literature demonstrates that early warning score monitoring reduces code blue events by 25 to 40 percent. Our facility averaged 6.2 code events per month last year, resulting in average additional costs of $45,000 per event in extended ICU stays. Projected annual savings of $270,000 to $400,000 provide payback within 12 to 18 months.' Compelling justification drafted in 30 seconds.
Documenting quality improvement initiatives
Your falls reduction project needs a quarterly update for the board. Hold the button: 'Q4 results show a 23 percent reduction in patient falls compared to baseline, exceeding our 15 percent target. Key interventions included hourly rounding protocols, enhanced call light response, and medication review for fall-risk patients. Three units achieved zero falls in December. Spread to remaining units planned for Q1 with full implementation by March.' Board-ready summary created in 25 seconds.
Creating meeting minutes and action items
The quality committee just finished a two-hour meeting. You need minutes out by end of day. As discussion points are fresh, you dictate: 'Action item: Pharmacy to present antibiotic stewardship metrics at April meeting, owner Dr. Chen, due April 15. Action item: Nursing to pilot new skin assessment protocol on 4 West, owner Director Williams, due March 30. Decision: Hand hygiene compliance target increased to 95 percent effective immediately.' Accurate minutes captured in real-time.
Responding to board member inquiries
A board member emailed asking about your readmission reduction strategy. You know the answer but hate typing on your phone between meetings. Hold and speak: 'Our 30-day readmission rate has decreased from 14.2 percent to 11.8 percent through three interventions: enhanced discharge teaching, pharmacist medication reconciliation, and 48-hour post-discharge phone calls. We project reaching the 10 percent target by Q3 with the addition of our new care coordination staff.' Thorough response sent in under a minute.
Writing performance improvement documentation
HR needs documentation supporting a staff performance concern. Precision matters. Hold, speak: 'On February 12, the employee arrived 45 minutes late without notifying the supervisor. On February 18, the employee failed to complete required patient safety rounding as documented in the unit log. A coaching conversation was held on February 19 with expectations clarified in writing.' Factual documentation created without the emotional fatigue of typing difficult content.
