Documenting Medical Notes Without Voice Recognition - Old Timers Still Prefer to Do it That Way

Advanced technology can recreate babies in the lab or send men into space

, but perfecting voice recognition is not within the realm of possibility, at least for the present, since more and more doctors are reverting back to the time tested process of documenting medical notes the good old fashioned way of narrating the patient health profile to man rather than machine.

Most electronic medical record (EMR) software's in operation have in-built voice recognition feature available, many physicians felt that a machine could do it better and quicker than a man, however they were quick to realize that the machine had limitations, until these were not sorted out the transcription process cannot be automated.

The digital voice recorders in use by physicians are convenient and easy to use; it allows them to narrate the patient profiles from any location, on the other hand the mobility is restricted while using the voice recognition. The manual transcription process does take a longer time, but is 99% accurate, the automated transcripts through voice recognition are quicker, but inaccuracies are plentiful and corrections take away the physician's precious time.

The manual transcription process can only be phased out once physicians are comfortable using voice recognition, and further technological advancement may put an end to the manual process, but as of now physicians are disinclined at using it and wish to continue with the human face of medical transcriptions, regardless of the costs. There are offshore vendors who have lowered costs, realizing that many healthcare providers have dumped voice recognition and are reverting back to the manual process.

The offshore companies in India are willing to provide the service to the physicians at a very low cost of 9 to 10 a line consisting of 65 characters and comparatively US vendors charge 15 to 16 for a 45 character line. Many healthcare companies in an effort to lower operational costs are looking eastwards till such time until voice recognition finds more takers.

Electronic Medical Records software now available on hire allowing physicians to store Patients Medical Records online as per HIPAA Medical Records guidelines, call toll free number 1-877-323-4707 for more details.
