The advancement in technology in medical offices has presented challenges in today’s medical transcriptions such as the accuracy of the transcript. You can record yourself as documentation instead of handwriting now. That is a challenge because the medical subscriber may not understand your accent and could put down the wrong information because they misunderstood the medical term you were using. Some companies also use automated transcription software, and those are not always accurate. If you aren’t accurate with a patient’s information, you could possibly give them the wrong medication. Using automated transcription software is a faster way to get the job done and comes out cheaper than paying an actual person to get the job done but a person will be more accurate and more reliable. This goes to the speak recognition software which is also a new advancement in technology. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and has different accents and that is why it can be hard for the software or even a person to understand what a person with a different or unique accent is saying. They may say a medical term differently, and you may think they are talking about a different term and put in the wrong information. When if were just face to face with the provider you could point out the terms to them and make sure you understand what they are saying. That way you will have an accurate transcript. The EHR system is to help keep up with patient data and your notes for each patient or any day-to-day work that you need to get done. Although it is supposed to be a system that is more helpful, it does have its downfalls. Providers must document a lot of information about patients, which takes up more time from seeing the patient and treating them, it also puts you behind schedule. One way to help fix this issue is they are hiring more medical assistants and medical subscribers. They are also using EHR templates to help make it faster and easier as well. In all, the biggest challenge to me is accuracy and time management. These advances are making it harder for the medical offices to make sure that patient’s information is charted correctly.
