Medical Dictations

Doctors must record their patient information on records daily. However, there are certain rules doctors must follow when doing medical dictations to avoid errors and problems. Transcribers have an easier time interpreting data if certain procedures are followed. Some of the key points for doctors to keep in mind are:

  • Try to avoid background noise and sounds
  • Title the document in the beginning
  • Remember to dictate demographic information
  • Medical terms should be pronounced well or spelled out
  • Do not summarize in long sentences
  • Explain uncommon abbreviations
  • Do not eat, drink or cough when dictating if possible

Many advances in technology today offer new computer features, which record your data on templates designed specifically for your organization. The transcriptionist inspects the information and edits are made accordingly. This provides a quick turnaround time and allows you access to the information you need quickly. Your data can also be organized so that you know the status of each report and whether it is pending, under review, under correction or completed. There are also convenient auto-faxing and e-signature services, which allow you to track and receive information when it is available.

Digital Transcription

There is a wide range of online transcription and dictation equipment available on the market today. There are hand-held units, desktop applications and phone-in services. Digital transcription offers doctors many benefits for document-managed technology. The United States Department of Health and Human Services requires all medical transactions to be on record, so clinics and hospitals must find an affordable and efficient way to process the large amounts of information. Medical dictations are the first step in the transcription process for every patient's medical history. It is important that they are done correctly and efficiently.
