Hi is there a good app out there that would allow me to dictate medicine h and p's. I am willing to pay $. My hospital doesnt have a dictation system and it would make my life so much easier if I could dictate and then paste it into our EMR

Keep in mind that doing this is a HIPAA violation since you'll be storing patient information on an insecure, cloud-based system. You'll also probably spend as much time correcting the text as you would just typing it in the first place, at least until you teach your phone (assuming you make the corrections on the phone, not after cutting/pasting).

No dictation system? Is this really a thing? Surgeons handwrite all their operative reports? Radiologists handwrite all of their reads?

Perhaps it's a function of my having trained and worked in large well-funded hospitals but I've never heard of a hospital not having a dictation system. Even the little community hospitals that I did moonlighting at had them.

My hospital has a dictation system but it's grandfathered. New employees (faculty, fellows, residents, mid-levels, everybody) are not given access to it unless they file for ADA accommodations to get it. Surgery and Rads have voice-recognition software that the departments paid for. Everybody else fires up the Epic dot-phrases and goes to town.

I see.

We are still required to dictate operative notes outside of the hand written notes in EPIC or other EMRs. I still see consultations from other specialties dictated as well.

Sounds like the OP may be working in an environment similar to yours.

At some hospitals only the attendings have access to the dictation system.

I have Dragon at home. Never used it once. I type about as fast as I can speak though, so that may change things... Still dictate at the hospital though. The computers suck XD

the more i see, in europe at least, dictation is not used at all. The physician just types whatever into the computer hospital system.

Maybe your hospital should adopt T-sheets for everything like some emergency departments. Got an uneventful appendectomy? Pull out the appendectomy T-sheet and check some boxes and then place it in the chart.
