Despite what many in the industry are pushing, meaningful transcription should not be viewed as an expense to be eliminated as an ROI for EMR, rather it should be seen as an investment. In today's healthcare the physician's time is money, literally! Any adverse changes in workflow that lead to slower production and inefficiency can kill a practice. Can you imagine a lawyer pointing and clicking their way through a deposition?
Dictation is still the preferred method of data capture, not because of some government stimulus but because it is time tested to improve physician efficiency and documentation.
EMRs and transcription are friends not foes. The ideal workflow combines EMR and narrative dictation to create an integrated solution.
