Question about Electronic Medical Records/ and medical transcribing?
Question by LittleBirdKK: Question about Electronic Medical Records/ and medical transcribing?
Last week I heard Obama give a speech saying that one of the first things he wants to change in the medical health industry is making all medical records electronic, so less mistakes can be made on patients health records.
Does this mean that in the near future medical transcription jobs will be becoming extinct?

No. Electronic transcribing is far from accurate, and it will be a very long time before doctors and hospitals rely on them instead of people.

NHS IT Explained
Image by didbygraham
The man behind the Health Service’s crisis-hit computer project has admitted that he was "ashamed" of some of the IT systems being installed in hospitals.
Richard Granger, who recently announced he is to step down as chief executive of the NHS scheme, said he was "appalled" by some of the work done by contractors.
His comments are yet another blow for what is the biggest civilian IT project of its kind.
It aims to upgrade information technology systems and introduce electronic patient records but is already running late and over budget.
In an interview with Chief Information Officer magazine, Mr Granger said: "Sometimes we put stuff in that I’m just ashamed of."
He added: "Some of the stuff . .. put in recently is appalling. It really isn’t usable because they have been building a system. . . without listening to what the end users want."

While some electronic health record (EHR) implementations proceed on schedule with the team s full participation and seemingly little effort, others flounder, stall, or struggle, experiencing only limited success or, in extreme cases, no success at all. What accounts for the difference? Is it a problem with the people, the process, or the EHR product? How are large-practice implementations different than small-practice ones? How can you fortify your practice against failure and plan for success?

SpeakFlower – because we are all patients:
speakflower.org/
"Why speak flower? Because it conjures simplicity and
consistency—which conjures universal availability and accessibility. A
common vocabulary carried on a common band presented in a common
manner. Regardless of our personal standing in society we all have a
common relationship—that at some time, past, present, and future, we
are patients. This commonality of this relationship begs that the
information pertaining to that relationship be treated in a common
fashion. We all benefit when we consider that we are all patients."
Those words are from the initial post on the new Speak Flower web
site, an advocacy group in favor of open access for patients to their
own health data and health records in ways supported by electronic
access and a variety of media choices, but ultimately controlled by
the patient. At least that is my understanding. I’ve been hearing the
docs and patient advocates who are behind this idea hashing it out via
Twitter for several weeks now. There are a lot of potential
ramifications, and of course the need to develop tools and
infrastructure to support the vision, but at bedrock it is this:
It is your health; it is your information.

Crystal Castles (Dig)
Electronic music is constantly ready to evolve, a point Crystal Castles seem determined to prove on their self-titled debut. They come from a heavily retro/electro place in the spectrum, wallowing in bits of debris from the ‘80s: video game bleeps and pixilated sounds found deep in the Casio archive. But it’s all twisted up, prodded past redundancy or homage to a state that feels genuinely innovative. How do they manage this? Part of the answer is in Alice Glass’s vocals, which are endless
