[Histonet] Diminishing support services

[Shirley Powell]

Some transcription can be done by voice recognition software.  Although some
of the medical terms may confuse the issue.  A couple of my doctors use it
when they are doing exams, seems to work for them.  

Also you may find that cross training the techs is an option too.  I typed
pathology reports after getting the slides out way back when life was much
simpler.  :)  Of course you should pay them the transcriptionist salary as
well.

Unfortunately, no.  We have so little support in our
accessioning/transcription area that some of us are accessioning our own
consult cases and many of us are typing our own pathology reports.

Are there any other hospitals out there where the pathologists accession
cases and type their own reports?
