The quality of physician dictation is one of the key factors that could compromise the quality of transcribed patient records. Poor quality recording will be an issue, even for a professional medical transcription service, as it will be difficult to convert the records and waste a lot of time and effort on the transcription.
Accurate medical transcription is crucial for the healthcare community, as it helps them • quickly assess a patient’s health condition • adopt the best course of action and proper treatment • refer to previous treatment strategies • take follow-up measures to avoid any complications, and • ensure quality patient care
Clear audio improves the quality of transcription. To ensure accuracy in medical transcription, consider the following when dictating medical notes – • Invest in good quality recording equipment like microphones. Make sure that your mics have good recording quality. • Use good headphones, as it will eliminate outside noise and you can stay focused and clearly express all patient data. • Dictate soon after the patient encounter, as the details will be fresh in your mind. Include all relevant details so that the record is more complete. • Unusual medical terms, names of drugs, and the names of referring physicians must be clearly spoken to avoid confusion. Consider spelling out complex words. • Stay vigilant when dictating numbers and measurements. Errors in dosage units could lead to medical errors and patient harm.
Ensure that all patient details are available during dictation. • Create a new file for each dictation or to make a later amendment. • Invest in an audio limiter and choose a suitable recording environment • Use good quality recording software, which would make the transition from audio to text easier. • Pause the recording, if any conversation takes place. • Consider hiring professional transcription services, if you are not investing in in-house resources.
