Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Structured clinical encounter notes offer many advantages compared to free text notes. However, cost and other issues limit their widespread use. At our institution, the electronic medical record (EMR) used by an Internal Medicine practice was designed years ago to utilize structured data. This paper describes a technique to improve the process by which structured notes are dictated and transcribed. We outsourced transcription services and then passed the files through parsing software to structure the data to the granularity required for our database. Software was built to handle all aspects of the process including file validation, parsing, and review. During our pilot project, more than 10,000 notes were parsed, reviewed and uploaded into the EMR.
