NOTABLE AND QUOTABLE

Concerning screening of physician dictation skills and MT acceptance before speech recognition implementation:  "Typically, anywhere from 2 to 5 hours of audio per physician (along with the transcribed reports corresponding to those audio files) is sufficient for the screening to take place . . . . Screening MTs for speech recognition is typically overlooked as a necessary ingredient in a successful speech recognition deployment.  For MTs, a screening process usually requires a 3- to 4-hour session in which MTs are taught the basics of editing speech recognition output and measured for their acuity as editors.  Scores can be assigned and MTs analyzed for their potential as editors in much same was the scores for physicians can be used to determine which physicians' dictations should be sent through the speech recognition workflow.  Subjective factors may also play a role here:  some MTs will resist change and prefer to continue working according to the traditional model."  Harjinder Sandhu, "Physician and MT Screening for Speech Recognition,"  Advance for Health Information Professionals (February 14, 2005).
