- 1. the truth about eliminating traditional transcription EHR structured notes and voice recognition systems take longer and are more cumbersome for busy practices and physicians. Studies have shown that Traditional Dictation is faster and cheaper because it takes considerably less time to complete, leaving physicians more time for patient care. An internal medicine physician will take at least 8 minutes to dictate and edit one report using a voice recognition system and 5 minutes to enter the same report into an EHR. With Traditional Dictation that same report only takes 1 minute. COST COMPARISON: TRADITIONAL TRANSCRIPTION VS.

DISADVANTAGES OF USING AN EHR OR VOICE RECOGNITION 損 As studies have shown it takes 8 to 10 times longer to enter a note in an EHR. 損 Templates must be customized as per the physicians requirement. Customization can be inflexible and costly. 損 utput from these templates is too canned and identical. It loses individuality for each patient and will cause O problems with reimbursements when audited. 損 EHRs and voice recognition systems can and often inhibit level 5 billing because of their rigid structuring. Notes that are meant to be focused and selective have become voluminous and templated, distracting from the key cognitive work of providing care. Such charts may satisfy the demands of third-party payers, but they are the product of a word processor, not of physicians thoughtful review and analysis. The best solution may be a combination of structured data and dictated notes integrated within an EMR. Hartzband, P. and Others. (2008, April 17). Avoiding the Pitfalls of Going Electronic.
