Digital Speech Recognition Systems and Standardization in Anatomical Pathology Reporting

The SRT templates for dictation allow for standardizing some of the information in reports. The anatomical pathology report is a critical document used by many healthcare professionals. It can guide diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in a variety of disease processes.
As such, this report must be clearly constructed and must include a variety of elements in pursuit of this goal. Application of SRT can minimize errors, and thus improve patient care.
To summarize, the Digital Speech Recognition System allows efficient workflow, starting at the grossing station with hands-free instant reporting that is compliant with CAP requirements.
