MEDICAL REPORT RECORDING AND TRANSCRIPTION USING
SOFTWARE

Medical transcription or MT is the process of
transcribing voice recorded medical reports.
Physicians dictate reports orally and it is
recorded using devices like the Philips speech
mike and others. Later the same is transcribed
into text format by a transcriber that
transcribes the dictated contents into text
manually or using software that performs
automatically. Use of software is common as it
dispenses with the necessity for any manual
transcription and is usually faster and moiré
accurate. MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION
SOFTWARE Medical transcription software or MTS is
specialized speech recognition program. MTS
contains database of medical terminologies and it
uses them to convert voice into electronic texts.
These texts can be transferred over a network of
can also be printed using printers. Advantage of
using the software is that the work is faster and
there is no problem of recognition of actual
words due to pronunciation issues.

EMR SOFTWARE AND EHR SOFTWARE Electronic Medical
Records can be created using EMR Software and
similarly the Electronic Health Records can be
generated using EHR Software. Distinction between
the two is that EMR provides a narrower view in
respect of the patients medical history. EHR on
the other hand provides a much broader as well as
comprehensive report indicating the overall
status of health of patient concerned. Difference
between the two is that EMR generates medical
history and EHR generates health status
reports. DIGITAL VOICE RECORDERS FOR RECORDING
Physicians and other healthcare professionals
record medical and health reports using the
digital voice recorder like the Olympus digital
voice recorder. Olympus recorders are convenient
for recording long reports. It transfers the
audio files to the computers using USB or other
removable storage devices or even through direct
connection to the PC. Longer duration is assured
due to extensive battery life. Likewise the
Philips digital voice recorder Speechmike is also
popular and both Olympus and Philips voice
recorders conforms to the digital speech standard
set up by the International Voice Association.

BENEFITS OF USING EMR SYSTEMS EMR systems
generate electronic records and are better than
the paper records because they help tracking of
data and identify the patients that need visits
and screenings. Monitoring of patients responses
to set parameters like sugar and blood pressure
readings becomes easier with the use of the
systems. In result the overall healthcare quality
improves considerably. Medical report recording
and transcriptions using software saves time and
also improves the quality of the reports
generated.
