As if practicing medicine isn’t difficult enough, there are serious economic pressures and realities bearing down on physicians in every practice setting. These include:
- Volumes of paperwork taking up time
- Need for accurate and complete documentation to substantiate the billing and serve as a useful defense tool if needed — “If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen!”
- Pressure to maintain or increase visit volume to support revenue
- Pressure to keep the practice broadly competitive and profitable
- Need for tools and information that support quality initiatives and contribute to excellent patient care
Voice recognition software, also known as speech recognition software, whether used alone or in conjunction with an EMR, directly addresses these problems by increasing physician productivity. Technology turns practices around.
Physicians use voice recognition software to document in the medical record, produce consulting reports, and integrate with EMRs. Voice recognition software takes your medical dictation with incredibly high accuracy and with special medical vocabularies matched to your specialty. If you frequently re-dictate variations of the same wording, you’ll be able to generate these automatically by means of “macros,” an additional feature. Voice recognition software uses special techniques to adjust to a regional or foreign accent. And finally, your software can be used in multiple settings with one software license, enabling you, for example, to write your consulting reports at home on the weekend or on your laptop while traveling.
