Speech recognition technology (SRT) is considered an excellent option to ease workflow problems. In the emergency department, SRT allows ED physicians to document emergency care in real time. This is important from the point of view of appropriate and timely patient care as well as from that of streamlined medical documentation.

Major Benefits Offered by SRT

Better Efficiency SRT allows ED physicians to capture unique features of patient encounters. It is possible to start documentation when the physician visits the patient rather than finishing the documentation after the visit. Apart from facilitating faster and easier documentation, SRT improves communication with other caregivers. With SRT, ED physicians can begin the documentation when seeing the patient, and contact the admitting physician immediately who can view the patient’s document remotely. The primary care physician can also read the clinical note in draft mode, which is a huge advantage for the medical decision-making process.
