Can a transcription service be used if I don want to type information in the Electronic Medical Records Module?
Yes. But keep in mind that much of the EMR information is entered with very easy point-and-click methods, with options for extensive user customization that allows default negatives to be entered automatically. Much of this data entry can be done quickly and unobtrusively at the bedside, eliminating much of the need for typing, and saving time and transcription costs. It also allows information to be stored in searchable data fields that can be used for report generation, quality review, outcomes studies, other research, etc. For those people who do want transcription help with some or all of the data entry, CustomEHR plans to arrange an agreement with transcriptionists who will be specifically trained in entering information directly and efficiently into the CustomEHR system. [This option is not yet available.
