I didn't really understand what the whole thing meant in relation to HDS staff. Is CAPD replacing transcription or is it just a tool to make sure the docs enter all of the demographic stuff like billing numbers, DOB, etc.?

Do not worry. Has nothing to do with the HDS staff. - Just helps the physician. sm

The CAPD has nothing to do with us as transcriptionists, our work flow, or anything else like it. CAPD is supposed to help physicians dictate and/or enter (i.e., point and click) more accurate, more specific information into the patient's medical record to help give the most accurate report possible.

If it affects us in any way, it will make the dictations longer since the doctor is being slightly more thorough and dictating more words, though I wouldn't count on that either.

Does this mean... - Nuance MT

...computer-assisted physician documentation? If so, I wonder if that's what our "exciting news" will be in October (which will most likely be accompanied by another pay cut so the greedy you-know-whats can line their pockets further).

How bout the phrase - sm

"compliance and reimbursements"in there. I smell another paycut, cause you know the company isn't gonna take a hit.

Ok, found this on the 'net...sm - confused

I did a search for CAPD and found this article on the Nuance website, so it's not just MM. Sounds like HDS will still have a role:

http://www.nuance.com/for-healthcare/by-solutions/computer-assisted-physician-documentation/index.htm

The meat of the article is as follows:

Computer Assisted Physician Documentation is an automated interactive system that will help physicians increase accuracy and completeness in their documentation and ensure reimbursement better reflects the level of care provided. By bringing the clarification process closer to the documentation workflow physicians are able to address missing details while still focused on documenting the patientâ��s treatment and care. CAPD enables physicians to continue using narrative â�� their preferred mode of documentation â�� in addition to structured data entry through advancements in speech recognition and Clinical Language Understanding technology. This optimal combination of speech and understanding technology offers the necessary balance in clinical documentation to communicate the essence of whatâ��s happening with each patient while still addressing organizational needs for discrete data elements and details to support reporting requirements.

Ultimately, Computer Assisted Physician Documentation allows your organization to put smart technology to work to help improve physician documentation processes that ensure appropriate reimbursement, more accurate quality reporting, and support the transition to ICD-10.

Computer Assisted Physician Documentation can:

â�¢Detect missing or unspecified diagnoses and procedures and unclear associations between relevant findings and generate clarifications to physicians to provide more specific details in their documentation
â�¢Facilitate a concurrent review process, with appropriate clinical guidance allowing physicians to accurately capture compliant documentation, complexity levels and severity levels in their documentation from the moment the patient enters the healthcare system
â�¢Subtly train physicians on the level of detail required to support coding in ICD-10
â�¢Support and sustain internal efforts to improve clinical documentation for all payers, not just those who are DRG based, by automating the most common specificity queries across all sources of speech driven physician documentation
Reduce the time CDI specialists spend generating and following up on the most common specificity queries, allowing them more time to expand their review of complex cases, enhance physician education and work more closely with HIM and Quality teams on additional sources of quality improvement.

Physicians are short on time now. Do you really think they want to spend MORE time on dictation? It's hard enough to get them to do it now.

This has to do with Fluency Direct, nothing to do with - transcription.

Of course they are working diligently to sell their EMR software. That's really not news. It's how they stay in the game, with companies like Epic out there. We already know our days are numbered...this doesn't mean much.

It means nothing. - Calm down.

Be interesting to see if I qualify for this.

Everything from invalid blanks to "failure to flag" Something has definitely changed over the last few weeks, never has it been like this before. I have always had 99 to 100% but I can't seem to even get to 98% now what with all their mark offs. So stupid. ...

Nuance is any better than it's getting around here at MM? I see they want experienced MTs rather than newbies in one of the ads, so that would sound like they'd expect to have to pay better at least.

Hi. I am new to MT boards here but wondering about how one would start a home business. I have worked for companies as a subcontractor but wish to advertise for myself and get some work from local doctors on my own. I would likely need a mini transcriber if I have to pick up and drop off tapes, but how does one do it over the internet? Would there be a way to get it through email set up of some kind with audio wav files that they could dictate to and I access it from there and just type and emai ...

I'm just curious if it's still too early to have it installed or if I'm the only one. In case it makes a difference, ...
