Those forcing it on Radiolgists don't care about 1) radiologist time 2) accuracy. They do care about their own bottom line to the exclusion of all else.<br /><br />We use it, but we use it as a dictation system, with transcriptionists reviewing everything. In that mode, I find it saves a lot of time, because I have several hundred predefined reports and pieces of reports that I can put in. (without taking my eyes off the screen). A real positive if some of your referrings are of the school of "I want a lot of words for my money"Dr.Sardonicusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10485390.post-77008647618601189612011-09-26T10:31:56.675-04:002011-09-26T10:31:56.675-04:00I have used speech recognition for 2 years.

Rather, the mistakes were made by humans, in fact a letter was sent (by a human transcription) - "dilated lips of small valve".<br /><br />With the correct software (i.e. Nuance), appropriate set-up (and this took some self education that can be skipped in the future), it is fantastic.<br /><br />I spend more time with patients, my staff does as well. Less time pulling, charts, proofing / printing transcriptions. This is wasted time, energy and resources.<br /><br />Transcription is also expensive, we cannot afford the current way we do business.<br /><br />Change is hard, easy to criticize, and medicine needs to wake up. If we don't telemedicine and technology such as voice recognition will show us to be too slow to react and further alienate patients and policy makers.<br /><br />As a surgeon that watched my profession rocked by laparoscopy / video and complaints and criticism, please let's learn from the mistakes of others and embrace change. Laparoscopy is the standard of care - would you want your first option to be an open cholecystectomy?<br /><br />It is different, but not bad. It takes time and without a doubt adds value.<br /><br />I personally beg others to look at it and embrace change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10485390.post-15403148176487796682011-09-26T08:38:54.473-04:002011-09-26T08:38:54.473-04:00Hi,
