Teaching Hospitals Could use Digital Dictation to Better Train Future Doctors

The learning environment of a teaching hospital is different than any other classroom experience. By utilizing digital dictation technology, these facilities can better capture lessons learned on the fly.

Doctors learn how to deal with certain situations as they arise in real-time. Using a digital voice recorder to capture how a scenario plays out will allow an intern or resident to go back later and hear a detailed account of the right and wrong ways to react. Besides, writing down notes may not go over well during a medical emergency in which all resources are needed as quickly as possible.

It's the same general thinking behind the average student using a voice recorder to document a lecture, only the stakes are a little higher.

So far, report processing and document electronic medical records are the two most common uses for digital dictation in a medical setting. But new ideas for utilizing the technology could improve patient care.
