Recorder Dictation
Here are some additional considerations when using recorders:
1) A transcriptionist or internal staff needs to 'play' the recording into a PC where the speech recognition software is installed. Consequently, that person will be doing the proof reading of the text and making corrections to any misrecognitions. This person must know the software very well, embrace the process and know how to enhance each dictator's speech recognition file to improve accuracy -- otherwise this person can make the process fail.
2) An analysis needs to be performed to determine each physician's workflow and preferences relative to productivity and office logistics. We have some clients who, because of patient volume and location of their office, dictate in the examination room to a PC while the patient witnesses the process. We have others who 'batch' their dictation -- until a break or until the end of that patient's visit.
3) If all patient interaction is concentrated in one location, then Direct Dictation is more beneficial. If patient visits are scattered -- office, hospital, clinic, etc. then Recorder Dictation may be called for.
