I had a conversation with my personal physician today. He was using a laptop throughout the course of my exam. I questioned him as to whether this was EMR. He stated that it was. His entire practice has converted to EMR in conjunction with front-end speech recognition.
This is the part that knocked me off of my feet--he stated that the physicians in the practice consistently get 95% accuracy in the drafts that present on the screen for them to edit. Note: They are editing the ...

Need some help with these terms that are some type of eye surgery. They are mentioned in the past medical history. Resident dictates what sounds like "rule-op-sis" to the right eye (spells this rulptoss, which I am sure doesn't spell anything!) and "lul-pop-tosis" to the left eye (spells this lulptosos, which also doesn't spell anything!).
I would greatly appreciate any ideas you have!

I've been editing and transcribing an ophthalmology account for a month now. I find it very difficult with many abbreviations and tests. I also find it really hard to find things on the Internet related to same, unlike with the other specialties with which I'm familiar.

The doc says "Retina examination shows normal _____ vessels." After having googled and googled, I wonder if he is saying disk macula and vessels or maybe disk-macula and vessels. I have found a hyphenated "disk-macula" but only once, so I don't know whether to trust this or not. And it could be something else. It could be "dis-something," but I just can't find anything that begins with "dis" related to eye anatomy. It could be "disk," which actually would make some sen ...
