[Histonet] Diminishing support services

[Richard Cartun]

Yes, some of us are using "Dragon" voice recognition, but it is not the
answer to a "transcriptionist shortage".

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?
