Three hospitals within the Memorial Hermann Healthcare System hospitals in Houston were recently certified as reaching Stage 6 of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Analytics EMR Adoption Model, thanks in part to their adoption of medical speech recognition.
The Memorial Hermann Healthcare System implemented medical speech recognition for physician reports five years ago, according to a Heathcare IT News report. The three hospitals that reached Stage 6 have used the technology to achieve operational efficiency, clinical quality and patient safety, according to hospital officials.
"Each component is an important step in improving medication safety. But it is the final culmination of having all aspects in place that creates a highly reliable process for patient safety," Robert Murphy, chief medical informatics officer, said.
Software and tools necessary to adopt medical speech recognition are available at American Dictation Corp.
Healthcare organizations that achieve Stage 6 certification have almost fully adopted automated or paperless records and have begun exploring ways to improve their care delivery process, according to Healthcare IT News. In all, there are eight stages in the EMR Adoption Model - 0-7.
