Dear forum,
I'm on a committee to evaluate dictation (and possibly speech recognition) for the radiology department. I'm particular interested in how you do a dictation in radiology and some of your prior (or present experiences) with dictation and/or speech recogniton.
1. Do "interventional" and "diagnostic" radiologists dictate similarily? If a radiology information system (RIS) is available, do both or other sub specialities within radiology use the same RIS?
2. If a human dictation system is used, do you dictate as in a narrative or in report format where you would actually dictate the headings and punctuation ("new paragraph", "colon", "new line', "diagnosis", etc). When I mean narrative, you are asking the transcriptionist to rearrange your dictation to fit the "normal" or "template' transcription?
3. Do house staff use electronic signing? If so, do you get to review before being submitted for countersignature by the attending?
4. How fast do you think it would take a house officer to become proficient in dictation? 1 month? 3 months? 1 year.
Thanks so much for all of your help?
