Voice-recognition/knowledgebase reporting systems for ambulatory care patient records
Kenneth Williams · Journal of Ambulatory Care Management · 1992
Speech recognition technology coupled with knowledgebase templates for the evaluation of specific patient complaints together constitute a technology that is currently available for patient reporting in the ambulatory care center. A system based on this technology offers advantages in legibility, speed of record creation, risk management, and reimbursement. It has both direct and indirect educational benefits for the clinician. While training requirements and system costs are reasonable, they continue to be the major stumbling block to widespread use of such systems.
