Why Dictate?
In today's market, physicians have many options available to capture patient information. Some doctors prefer to write out patient notes, others type or use drop down templates in EMR based systems, and still others prefer to dictate. In an environment where accurate and complete information is essential for patient care and liability protection, dictation is the ultimate solution.
Writing or typing notes is time consuming and does not allow doctors to be as complete as they should be. Accuracy is also a factor. When written notes are barely legible billing departments have a difficult time processing reimbursements. Templates and drop down programs are fast and convenient but they do not capture the specialization required for individual patients and situations. This lack of accuracy could lead to future liability issues and reduced patient care.
Doctors that dictate spend less time capturing information and are able to create accurate, legible and complete patient notes. They provide more personal and specialized care by paying more attention to their patients and less attention to a computer screen. Finally, doctors that dictate with DEMESYS have the efficiency of a web based patient filling system combined with an accurate transcription based medical record. This gives them the time and cost savings that makes dictation a benefit rather than a cost.
