From Raw Data to Insights
Published in Disa Lee Choun, Anca Petre, Digital Health and Patient Data, 2023
Medical records are considered one of the cornerstones of healthcare. They contain all relevant information about a patient: medical history, diagnosis, treatments, allergies, labs tests, imagery, etc. They allow health professionals to treat patients to the best of their abilities, provided that the information contained in EHRs is complete and reliable. In comparison to previous handwritten notes, EHRs represent a significant step forward. They facilitate data accessibility and sharing, decrease the risk for transcription errors and reduce costs associated with repeated medical tests. For physicians, they represent an optimized workflow and time savings.4
Telehealth
Published in Salvatore Volpe, Health Informatics, 2022
For those of you who rely on transcription services, you may have at least three options: (1) via the telehealth application; (2) in conjunction with an EHR that has transcription as an option; and (2) via a free-standing transcription application, such as Dragon Medical One.

Language service professionals (LSPs) are sometimes employed to enable participation in meetings, conferences, training courses or court proceedings. Examples of LSPs are sign language interpreters, speech-to-text transcribers and lip speakers (who repeat what a speaker is saying voicelessly to enable lip reading). However, improvements in voice recognition software mean that it is becoming increasingly easy to provide real-time transcription without the need for a third party.
Benefits of a professional development course on transcription for practising speech-language pathologists

The professional development course in this study provided participants with opportunities to practise their transcription skills and explore transcription elements that may be clinically relevant to their caseloads. Although participants’ increased accuracy in transcription was not statistically significant, a statistically significant positive correlation was found between increased transcription accuracy, particularly accuracy of vowels, and increased confidence. This finding suggests that as participants’ accuracy increased, so did their confidence to use transcription—or the other way around. Therefore, for SLPs to become more confident to use transcription clinically, it is likely they will need to increase their transcription accuracy through opportunities to practise their transcription skills.
A survey of Swedish speech-language pathologists’ practices regarding assessment of speech sound disorders

The results further show that a majority of the respondents frequently transcribe speech, although different levels of transcription, and combinations thereof, were cited (i.e. orthographic, phonematic and/or phonetic transcription). Depending on the purpose (e.g. for assessing speech production proficiency or intelligibility), a flexible use of transcription levels may well be warranted. However, a phonetic transcription of a representative speech sample is explicitly recognised as an integral part of speech assessment [7,9]. Unfortunately, the present study does not provide insight into when and how the different levels of transcription are used. However, very few respondents describe recording speech for analysis. As audio recording is necessary to reliably transcribe a speech sample, these findings indicate a need for more detailed scrutinization of current transcription practices.
The Health Equity Through Aging Research And Discussion (HEARD) Study: A Proposed Two-Phase Sequential Mixed-Methods Research Design To Understand Barriers And Facilitators Of Brain Donation Among Diverse Older Adults

Each focus group should include an explanation of the purpose of the focus group and what comprises participation, orally leading participants through Informed Consent and HIPAA documents, participant completion of a demographic survey, and the use of audio-recorders. All participants should provide written consent prior to activation of audio-recorders. Once each focus group is completed, all focus group data including audio-recordings should be uploaded to a secure server behind a firewall. Audio-recordings should be electronically transferred to a medical transcription agency. Transcription should include the de-identification of participants by replacing participant names with a random participant identification number such as “Interviewee 1” and deletion of any names and other protected health information. To ensure fidelity and consistency cross all focus groups, one person should serve as the moderator, accompanied by at least two trained study staff.
