Emdat has long supported the idea that dictation and transcription should be a vital element in EMR/EHR adoption, believing that a physician's time is better served practicing medicine than entering data into an EMR system. This approach not only transfers data-entry responsibilities away from physicians but also allows users to benefit from the richer narrative information and increased accuracy that medical transcription can provide.
Recently, two stories were printed in medical journals that support our stance, reporting that physicians are largely dissatisfied with current EHR systems because of both poor usability and the reduced productivity that results. See the articles below.
