Epic - Partial Dictation feature - CMC


Posted: May 11, 2011

I have a client that will be implementing an Epic EMR.  Epic has indicated to them that the providers can dictate a "partial dictation" during a note they are entering.  Epic offers them the option to have the transcriptionist transcribe that note directly into Epic.  So far, I have only been able to find MTSOs and in-house MTs who use the partial dictation feature, but have kept their old software platform (i.e., eScription, Nuance, etc) and the provider dictates into that system and the MT transcribes it and it then "interfaces" and uploads into Epic. 

I am interested in hearing from anyone who uses Epic the direct entry way.  My three main questions are: (1) voice quality;  (2) how you do QA on notes being transcribed directly into Epic;  and (3) how you count the lines the MT enters into Epic.   

I would appreciate any information out in the MT world about Epic and transcription.

Good questions. We are starting Epic where I work on June 1, the MTs are getting trained this week. Some of us work on site and some at home. We're not keeping our old software and will be transcribing directly into Epic. One thing I know, we have to rebuild all our abbreviation expanders. I've heard that the voice quality is good. I think the providers are going to do their own QA and make corrections themselves. I don't know how they will handle line counts yet. I'm sorry I don't have a lot of info, I'm excited to learn something new and also apprehensive. When I know more I can send you a private e-mail, if you like, I'll just locate this thread and respond that way.

Just curious if anyone is using it.  It is supposed to save us keystrokes (like they really care) but I turned it off after the first 2 lines of my first ASR report.  I was wasting more time than usual trying to attach and reattach and didn't see a benefit.  I would love to hear if someone has found it beneficial.  Otherwise the new 7 is fine.  I love being able to change the font size and type to whatever mood strikes me for the day.  Same keystrokes to access ...

So let me get this straight: I want to put a physician's name in the report.  I hit CTRL + N and start typing the last name. Before, it was nice.  The search would happen automatically. NOW I have to tell it to search (even for mandatory ADT names when you hit enter to get to the physician lookup)?  Why?  That is another keystroke that is wasted, and add to that, it was nice before that if you hit the letter 's' it would scroll to all the docs with last name ...

We use a Word-based (2003) platform and when the documents are finished, they are automatically uploaded into Meditech.  Most of the transcriptionists at our work have hashed out and come up with the best way to number lists that looks nice in Meditech.  About half of us use the auto number feature and the rest do not.  I have figured out how to customize the auto number feature to the way we want it formatted, but the settings did not stick when I signed ...

Partial UE - Let's Try This Again

I just got off the phone with our local UE office, and the rep informed me that there's no such thing as partial UE in my state (Louisiana). She advised me to ask you all how you answered certain questions when filing your claims, such as "what was your last work date" and "when were you separated from your employer," etc. In other words, did you have to file a regular UE claim, or does your state provide a separate application process for partial UE? I'd hate to file a claim ju ...

Partial Dictations

I think all dictations at Nuance should be partial dictation worktype. Wtih "partial dictations, you don't have to do as much checking of demographics, figuring out date of service and filling that in, etc., and not having to pend and leave comments so mcuh. I notice I'm about 75 lines faster an hour when it's partial dictations because there's less outside-the-report activity to be done. This is extra activity we dont' even get paid for. After all, MTs are only paid ...
