Dictations
While I have been keeping tabs on OS software to keep patient records,
the one thing I've noticed is that I simply dont have the time to enter
patient data, yet again, on to another form (electronic though it may be)
What I do know is that I have to dictate all my notes, and they tend to
follow a certain set pattern, with some obvious alterations for follow-up
visits.
Is anyone working on a program that will parse the data from a dictation,
ie a plain text file, and place it, appropriately, into a database?
What I am saying is that most of my dictations follow this order
Name: Joey Ramone
DOB: 7-15-1951
CC: Social Commentary
..and so on.
How hard would it be to find the key words, then take the data after say
"name" and place it into a database.
Therefore, all dictated notes would be parsed into a database, thus, say,
when I find a new allergy, my dictated note would say
Allergy: PCN,
the program would prase that bit out and place it as a new data point
under the allergy field.
Anyway, i'd like to hear your thoughts because Im trying to play around
with it, but I dont want to replicate work if it is already out there
somewhere.
thank,
Gerardo
