Analysis of errors in dictated clinical documents assisted by speech recognition software and professional transcriptionists.
The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze errors at each stage of the speech recognition (SR) assisted dictation process. The study concluded that seven in 100 words in SR-generated documents contain errors; many errors involve clinical information. That most errors were corrected before notes were signed demonstrates the importance of manual review, quality assurance, and auditing.
