The process of implementing electronic medical records may begin with doctors utilizing digital dictation to document the patient-healthcare professional encounter. A recent report from transcription service provider TransDynes identifies several tips for healthcare professionals to follow to make the process as efficient as possible.
First, the report states it is important for doctors to be familiar with the recording equipment. They should utilize digital voice recorders and software they are comfortable with to increase the speed of the process.
Doctors must also be confident when dictating, the report advises. The thought of speaking out loud for a recording is frightening for some, but confidence in dictation will keep the thoughts clear and avoid the words coming out garbled and awkward.
Finally, doctors need to find a dictating rhythm that is neither too fast nor too slow, according to the report. Going too fast may cause more errors when transcribing the dictation. And being too slow may cause the mind of whoever is transcribing to wander, the report warns.
More tips and expertise for getting the most out of a digital dictation platform can be found at American Dictation Corp. The website is also a leading provider of tools and software for both digital dictation and speech recognition.
