Discrete reportable transcription can be defined as a unique approach to adoption of EMR/ EHR, which continues to use the traditional method of transcription to create transcripts while instantly populating the EMR/ EHR with discrete data elements. Under this method once the healthcare professional has finished dictating his/her notes, transcripts are created through the usual transcription process using expert medical transcriptionists who ensure accuracy and speed. After transcription, the transcription software automatically tags the discrete data within the document, such as lab values and medications into the appropriate fields in the EMR/ EHR, using XML coding.
Discrete reportable transcription offers a solution for easy adoption of EMR/ EHR with the following advantages:
Retaining dictation: For years healthcare professionals have shown a marked preference for dictation as a means of capturing information regarding the patient encounter. By allowing dictation as a means of collecting information regarding the patient encounter, discrete reportable transcription allows healthcare professionals the convenience of using dictation devices of their choice and dictating as per their schedule.
Retaining narrative: Discrete reportable transcription not only helps populate the EMR with discrete data elements it also retains the narrative portion of patient medical record. The narrative portion of the patient medical record provides useful insights and information to healthcare professionals in a speedy manner rather than the voluminous records created by EMR/ EHR.
Minimum disruption to the healthcare facilities workflow: Using discrete reportable transcription for adoption of EMR/ EHR ensures minimum disruption to the healthcare professionals’ workflow in terms of style of dictation or the need to train speech recognition software to their needs.
Focus on the care process: Unlike other methods like entering data into structured templates, discrete reportable transcription allows the healthcare professional to focus totally on the patient rather than the documentation process.
Expert transcription: Other methods of adopting EMR/ EHR expect the healthcare professional to be an expert on documentation taking away focus from their core competence, however discrete reportable transcription ensures that creation of patient medical records is undertaken by experts.
Accurate transcription: The information in patient medical records is used for various purposes like coding & billing, follow-up treatments, research etc. Therefore accuracy of the information becomes vital. By using discrete reportable transcription, healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities are ensured of the accuracy.
Speedy: Apart from eliminating waste and ensuring accuracy, discrete reportable transcription also ensures speedy adoption of EMR/ EHR by meeting the turnaround time requirements of healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities.
