PURPOSE OF DICTATION:
Dictation technology is utilized to convert spoken words into text format for the purpose of documenting medical information in an efficient and accurate manner. The system may be employed in the transcription of medical notes, reports, and other relevant documents.
HOW DICTATION WORKS:
During my medical appointments, any verbal information provided by me or my healthcare provider may be recorded using the medical scribe dictation. The system processes and transcribes spoken words into text, contributing to the creation of my medical records. The scribe will not be used to make any decisions about your care. Your doctor will review all of the information in your medical record, including the scribed notes, before making any decisions about your care.
SECURITY MEASURES:
The medical practice employs robust security measures to safeguard the confidentiality and integrity of the information processed through dictation. These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to prevent unauthorized access and protect against data breaches.
PATIENT RIGHTS:
1. Access to Information: I have the right to request access to my medical records and transcripts generated through dictation.
2. Amendment of Information: I have the right to request corrections or amendments to any inaccuracies in my medical records.
3. Withdrawal of Consent: I have the right to withdraw my consent for the use of dictation at any time. However, withdrawal may affect the efficiency of medical record documentation.
