Speech Recognition in Healthcare

Learn how Duke Primary Care physicians improved their workflow, clinical documentation and patient care.

Speaker: John Anderson, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer, Duke Primary Care, and Assistant Professor, Duke University Health System
Better Said and Done:

Clinical documentation is more important than ever as the healthcare industry moves towards EHRs, Meaningful Use regulations, and other pending legislative requirements. Learn how Duke Primary Care made the quantum leap from handwritten notes, paper charts, and various dictation and transcription services, to deploy interactive speech recognition for their primary care physicians. Most Duke physicians now dictate their notes, review the report for accuracy, and sign off immediately, while a few prefer to send their notes to a medical editor for review.

The results have been dramatic:
  • Turnaround time has improved so that notes are either available immediately or, at most, within 24 hours. Prior to speech recognition, this was a source of significant variability.
  • Clinical notes are now in electronic form, which makes them immediately available to specialist physicians or ED providers within the Health System.
  • Many of the physicians believe their documentation is more complete and accurate with the use of templates.
  • Cost savings have been significant.
The bottom line is better, more cost-effective care to their patients.
