Disruptive Technology – The Dolbey Difference

The strategy of directing resources at maintaining current technology being employed by larger software companies in the healthcare industry to protect their share of the market and preserve their current customer base seems practical in the short-term. However, this type of strategy can cause organizations to become complacent and opens the door for smaller, more agile organizations looking to address the long-term needs of an industry disillusioned by existing technology. Developing solutions that address the gaps in current technology and at the same time dedicating resources to create alternative technology, these organizations can become quite the disruption in the marketplace.

Speech Recognition and Clinical Work

Guest Blog by Emergency Room Physician, Thomas Lang, MD

At first, when I used speech recognition in creating clinical notes, I didn’t like it at all. At that juncture in time, there was a transition from paper and what I call ‘straight dictation’ (that is, a transcriptionist would type out for me what I had just rattled off into the dictaphone) into a more digital and automated world. At that time, SR simply wasn’t very good, requiring way too much editing by the user. Accuracy of SR has dramatically improved recently.

A Positive Disruption

Harvard Business School professor, Clayton M Christensen coined the phrase ‘disruptive innovation’ also referred to as ‘disruptive technologies’ in 1995. Disruptive innovation is the process by which a product enters the market with simple applications and then steadily works its way up, eventually displacing established competitors.

Better Healthcare Workflow Management with Speech Recognition

Management of healthcare is not a simple task. Many processes are involved, including financial management, staff, patients, legal issues, logistics, inventory, and more. It can all get a bit overwhelming— especially when each is done by hand. Since medical data is so sensitive and regulated, it can be a bit more difficult to find technologies that help improve healthcare workflow management. However, it’s something that needs to be considered.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Speech Recognition for EHRs

Is your hospital or clinic considering the advantages and disadvantages of speech recognition for EHRs? Voice recognition systems are becoming quite popular in the healthcare industry, and for good reason. It is a nearly hands-free way for doctors to enter data and fill out a patient’s electronic chart. Here are some of the pros and cons of implementing a speech recognition or voice recognition feature as a part of your electronic health record system.

5 Speech & Voice Recognition Trends & Applications

Do you remember some of the earliest voice recognition systems? Years ago, when you called a number and were instructed to use speech to select options, it usually turned into a frustrating experience. These voice recognition programs weren’t sophisticated enough to understand everyone’s voice, so many users were disappointed. However, voice recognition has made an enormous amount of progress since then. Now, when you call the pharmacy to refill a prescription or when you call a business hotline, you’re much more likely to experience success with the voice recognition customer care system.

What Are the Benefits of Speech Recognition Technology in Healthcare?

Speech Recognition in Healthcare

Speech recognition programs, also called voice recognition, can identify spoken words. The software program then either completes a task or translates the spoken word into text. If you have ever dictated something to your phone or your vehicle (such as instructing it to ‘Call Mom’), then you’ve used a form of speech recognition technology. Healthcare providers often use speech recognition to generate medical documentation.

Transformation of Voice Recognition Technology from Analog to Digital

It’s hard to imagine a world without voice recognition technologies like Siri, Amazon Echo, and Google Voice. They make life so much easier! Although it may seem like a more recent invention, voice recognition technology has existed since the 1950s. Of course, when it was first invented it looked a lot different than it does today. Here’s a look at how the technology has evolved from analog to today’s modern voice recognition devices.
