Just decided to do a fully web based transcription management system based on CF or ASP.NET.I also require ideas on introduction of new paid services like voice server,speech to text conversion,or secure uploads!
Saw yesterday
Paul Brian's website on errors in English language commonly made. It makes fascinating reading and it also gives a big list of similar websites- a must see for any budding transcriptionist.
Had installed Flashtext from
FlashpeakHelps in keeping standardized text from each doctor or operative procedure or normals for easy pasting on to the transcribed report.Must install in all client customers and get feedback.
Some customers were trying to cut costs by considering installation of an EMR and reducing transcription. I saw a very interesting study in a blog by Robin Daigh as follows in his own words:Physicians use one of three methods for documenting care: dictation, structured data entry (keyboard, touch screen, mouse), or front-end speech recognition. In our experience and that of many EMR vendors, dictation is the preferred choice of 80% of doctors. Why dictation is the most efficient way to document patient care. Take the example of a typical outpatient visit to an internist. It takes about one minute to dictate a note for an established patient and about $4.30 in direct and indirect costs.
By contrast, many EMRs use structured data entry as the primary method for entering clinical notes, in which physicians point and click their way through screens of drop down menus. Physicians find it takes 5 to 10 minutes on average to complete a note this way, meaning the indirect cost is anywhere from $13.50 to $27.00.
Yet many EMR vendors tout their products as a way to eliminate transcription. Indeed, physicians may “save” $1.60 in transcription expense, but at what cost for their valuable time? Physicians report working an extra 1 to 2 hours or seeing 2 to 3 fewer patients per day using direct data entry. In reality, work has just shifted from a lower cost resource to a practice’s most valuable resource, its physician.
In our experience, this loss of productivity is the single biggest barrier to physician adoption of EMRs. By contrast, transcription customers are delighted to learn they can continue to dictate, have notes exported directly to their EMR, and preserve time for patient care.
