The data entry just gets dumped on residents, adding to their already absurd workload (and realistically gets done at the very end of their shift after being on call for 24-30 hours). There is no plausible way that this results in better accuracy.
The idea is great, but it just runs into an absolute brick wall of realities of the health care system and human behavior.
- bduerst 10y agoHas your wife ever come up with solutions? I've thought about trying to solve this data-entry problem in healthcare before, but it seems to be almost an admin/process issue.
- eonw 10y agoi think you can dump audio files into dragon(nuance) and get the transcript back for data entry.
- bduerst 10y agoYeah, I almost mentioned dragon but I didn't because I wanted to avoid anchoring the question. They seem to be (or were) a market favorite.
- nradov 10y agoYes but doing that takes some time, and then correcting the numerous errors takes more time. So it's not necessarily more cost effective than using template data entry forms. Some doctors now dictate, and then rely on transcription services which use speech recognition to generate a rough draft followed by human transcriptionists to fix most of the errors.
