Happy to see that you are in favor of dictation/transcription versus a click/pick EMR system. Being a medical language specialist (MT) for over 25 years, I must point out that I would be quite able to transcribe an accurate document from your dictation by traditional means. If your system uses speech/voice recognition, the amount of editing would be excessive and time-consuming and reduce efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, if your dictation is transcribed off-shore, I doubt you would receive an accurate document due to inability to deciphering dictation versus conversation by an MT with ESL. If you dictate in front of the patient, and conversation/correction is necessary, you need to use the PAUSE on the system and then say CORRECTION and re-dictate, then it will be clear to the MT to delete the prior few words and make the correction. This will result in an accurate document. MERGING EMR/Transcription is the best of both worlds, but with the majority of transcription going overseas and the lack of desire to have a patient’s entire EMR available off-shore, the ANSWER is KEEP Medication Transcription in the USA for US physicians and patients. Doctor, where is your transcription done.”
