EFFICIENCY: SPEECH RECOGNITION vs. TRANSCRIPTION

Simply put, the more efficient that we become, the more easily we will sustain the increasing demands of 1) economy, 2) regulation and 3) population growth. As it has proven to be true in the automobile industry, the same is true "business – wide", the more automation one can apply to a task, the more accurate, faster and efficient the task is performed – enter speech recognition! Transcriptionists are now being reallocated to handle the data input traffic. It's much quicker and efficient for intelligent software to recognize the speech of the author than for an individual to manually determine what was spoken, the meaning and where the text should be placed. There are varieties of “work flow solutions” that can be tailored to accommodate a medical practice. At Healthcare Information Technologies, LLC (HIT) we have made it our business to be Speech Recognition Experts, reflecting directly to our clients efficiency and “bottom line”.

SPEECH RECOGNITION: FRONT END or BACK END

Clarity: There are essentially two workflow solutions, FESR (Front End Speech Recognition and BESR (Back End Speech Recognition) both of which utilize the speech recognition engine of Dragon Medical Practice Edition (DMPE) which has 62 medical vocabularies, is 99% accurate and learns the accents and dialogues of the author. Front-end is where the author dictates live into his microphone and the discrete text goes immediately into the target document whether EMR, Word Document or simply surfing the Web. Back End is where the author dictates into a digital recorder, iPhone or other device, hits send and a discrete text is placed into the target document. Either system can be used, or a combination of the two for even greater efficiency. The end result is that the author is 3 to 5 times faster and more accurate than traditional dictation, handwriting and/or transcription.
