Why, it was not done? That shows the true intentions. Can anyone answer me conscientiously Does anybody really interested in cost reduction of healthcare? If its is really cared, I would have gone for a open-sourced, inter operable national repository of EMR which can be accessed at a fraction of cost by doctors or other parties to the issue. Sadly, the central players - 'Doctor & patient' - have become non entities in the sordid drama of powerful lobbies. I think what I feel is that we are currently passing through is a fluid situation borne out of pulls and counter pulls of different lobbying groups, might take some time to whittle down. My experience is the doctors are looking going electronic way but not in a route that cuts into their quality time and ends up in a 'treatment-is-worse-than-disease' situation. Regarding EMR, the best option physicians felt after a trial run was having transcription integrated or get it copy pasted into the system than spent on exotic software and ending up in digital nightmare. Now the SRS clients are back because in the end they are doing and redoing a work which is neither their primary job nor compensates the quality time lost. Pratap Reddy wrote: CEO at Srija Solutions Private Limited I have seen my clients move in and out of speech recognition software and some gave a trial try of EMR and finally they groaned and grunted. I can give you dozens more examples of things that sounded great, but once shown the 'light of day', their great promise quickly fades away. Not because I continue, as I have for 20 years now, to develop and sell dictation and transcription products, but because I've seen 20 years of 'we'll be going SR any day now', and 40 years of 'think metric!'. including the hospital administrator who won't get fired for having their doctors type at $200 an hour! Am I biased about the need to continue to use the 'traditional' method of having the doctor's dictate. All that changes is that instead of typing into Word (or what ever word processor you prefer), the transcriptionist will be typing into the EMR/EHR to click here, and type there. For data input into the EMR/EHR, that should be a 'back office' task performed by the transcriptionist. The EMR/EHR should only be in front of the doctor to review a patient's records. Dictation is the most efficient use of the doctor's time. The way to do it right, is for the doctor to dictate just as they have for decades. While the purchase of the EMR/EHR software will be initially expensive for the hospital, as long as they implement it right, it should over the long run help improve a person's healthcare continuity.

We stumbled upon conversations of healthcare professionals who spoke about the reason to outsource transcription to another country and the security measures required for the same. Many others think that ' medical transcription outsourcing ' can be a major driver of cutting costs for hospitals. We read the question: What should hospitals think about when medical transcription outsourcing, and how can they ensure the security of the information? Many think that “medical transcription outsourcing' is a difficult decision to make for hospitals.
