the well-trained speech engine - Snow Bunny (the original)

This is copied/pasted from a document I'm to be working on. I have not yet proofed anything. What you are about to read is what appears on the screen. It's a fast dictator. The service is v-e-r-y emphatic about keeping the speech engine constantly updated with corrected documents. *THIS* is what I'm talking about.
The patient is a very pleasant 73-year-old gentleman who returns today for an evaluation. He was last seen by. His pain is though a very low back pain. He denies any radicular complaints. Since his last visit. He is doing well with Percocet 10/325 q.i.d., but he would and states that he is unable to sit for longer than 55 to 15 minutes. He is doing well with his analgesic regimen but again, would like to reduce his dependence, and, therefore, is considering lumbar facet joint diagnostic median branch block. Since last visit, he received a good report from his PCP routine health routine health maintenance checkup as well as his cardiologist checkup. Other than what has been described above, no new elements are added to his past medical, surgical or allergy history.
The service is just echoing a line of IT bull. - Val
[ In Reply To ..]Why do they bother mentioning it? Every corrected document is supposed to "train" the speech engine and it obviously doesn't.
I guess I'm not explaining things correctly - Snow Bunny (the original)
[ In Reply To ..]Your editing/correcting the documents by itself is not what improves the speech engine. This is a separate "action."
Let's take Dragon, which is created by Nuance and is for the single user. I dictate a letter to a friend and then go back and proof it. After proofing I would click on EDIT, ANALYZE DOCUMENTS ... and then the program reads/analyzes the document. It will adjust itself for context and also highlight words not in the current dictionary. I then have the option of adding and/or training those words.
If I do this, there's a strong possibility that if I re-dictate the entire letter, it'll be 99% accurate (or better). If I don't do this additional step, then the speech engine hasn't learned anything.
IOW ... your correcting/editing the document does not improve the speech engine UNLESS whoever is at the facility does this additional step AFTER the documents have been returned. For a hospital, with the sheer volume of transcribed reports, it would have to be done on a daily basis.

This Is A Well-trained Speech Engine

The below listed paragraph is echo-dictation. This means that I am listening to the dictator and repeating what is said into a microphone. I have not read this paragraph, so what you about to read has not been edited by me (correct errors). --- If you are doing VR and the text you are reviewing doesn't look like this in terms of accuracy, then the problem lies with the facility who is using speech recognition. I just want to (hopefully) put to rest the negative comments about speech r ...

Hey there wise, venerable coding veterans! I'm looking for an opinion on the coding course linked below before I contact the school with any specific questions. Do you think this will teach enough for the CCS or just the CCA? How about the CPC? Should I look further into this course/school or scratch it off my list?

Just Heard EPIC Is Now Being Trained At My Main Account

Does not surprise me.. the Canned reports featured in EPIC I am sure will take over to completely do away transcriptionists. Clearly healthcare is okay with homogenous reports that really are not particular to the patient, just trying to stay within the slimmest margin of the law. It's like legal liability insurance...the bare minimum required. ...
Is There A Search Engine That Searches Just Medical Sites?
Feb 23, 2011
I am not sure what's going on of late, but I don't seem to get relevant search results when I use G. I search for a medical word, but get results from sites that have nothing to do with medicine. I end up questioning the credibility of these search results and have to research more. Needless to say, I've been losing money spending so much more time researching words. Sometimes, I just wonder if I could have access to a medical search engine to cut out the non-medical stuff. Anyone ...

we have dictators who compose sentences such as this: "A xx-year-old female accompanied by daughter in secondary to within the last week has run out of her amlodipine, Prozac and clonidine anywhere from 3-5 days ago each of these." I kid you not, that is what this doctor said. American doc, speaking clear English. Now tell me, what am I supposed to do with that?

Speech Impediments
Sep 14, 2011
This is a first for me. The doc is NOT ESL. But, it took me quite a while to figure out what she was saying when I heard, "The patient lickscrapitus in his knee." Later on, I realized that she was has difficulty with pronouncing some A's and E's correctly. So, the "lickscrapitus" was "lacks crepitus", which is also a rather odd way of making the statement, IMHO. Why don't the facilities/MTSOs notify the MTs when there is a doc on the account with certain s ...
