Summaryelectronic Medical record (eMr) systems offer the potential to dramatically improve the cost and quality of healthcare. however, despite their potential and market forces favoring their adoption, eMr software is used by only 20% of clinicians in the U.S. today.
This white paper identifies forces both driving and inhibiting eMr adoption. eMr systems’ inflexibility and other limitations often prevent them from being used effectively by a broad range of physicians – without help from enabling technologies.
Speech recognition is one such technology. it has proved effective at helping physicians create electronic medical records. today, tens of thousands of clinicians use voice recognition to dictate findings into electronic records – far more than those documenting findings via typing or mouse-clicks.
The benefits of speech-enabled eMr systems include:
- Dramatically reduced transcription expense
- Improved patient care via complete documentation and faster results delivery
- Reduction in time spent documenting care
- Increased cash flow and revenue by the near-immediate completion of the full patient note.
