Hmm the Google voice to text actually isn't half bad for transcribing a narrative. Now to figure out the easiest way to get it transferred over to a chart

So Google voice to text won't let you copy and paste? Or is it the chart system will not allow you to do that? Either way, perhaps you are onto something that will make things a little easier and hopefully the Google voice to text system wont to hang onto previous dictation information.

We use ESO, and it won't open up on an android.device because it's silverlight based. But I figured I can just dictate it in an email and.just send it to myself.

OMG, why didn't I think of this!? Always see doctors doing it this way in the ED. I'm definitely going to experiment with this. Maybe dictate it on your phone, then email it to yourself, or send it to yourself via your internal company network messaging system (if you have one), copy/paste into ePCR?
 
Wish we could do that. The copy and paste function is disabled on the computers and I haven't been able to open email accounts on the computers.

The keyboard shortcuts should still work unless your division does things different. Ctrl+c for copy, Ctrl+v for paste.
 
Just one small word of caution: when you're dictating text to any sort of electronic device, just make sure that you proofread what you just dictated. Over the past few weeks, I have noted that there were some rather interesting mistakes in the discharge notes to patients that physicians have dictated to them… And apparently were not caught during the proofread! Right now, I am using Dragon NaturallySpeaking V. 13 and for the most part it works generally well. Every once in a while it does mistake one spoken word for another so I have to retrain it and correct it so that it will choose the correct word that I spoke. This system does learn from you as you speak and correct it.

Just remember to keep a very close watch on what was dictated so that you don't inadvertently write something in your chart that wasn't intended. Also I believe that on most of the dictated charts, there is a line that says that the chart was dictated using a version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking and there may be occasional transcription errors.

My favorite is this ED note. Multitasking a little too hard there.

Serious question, though: is dictating that much faster/easier than typing?
 
Wow I do really like The Woodlands area... And it looks like MCHD runs 911 up here
 
A friend offered to give me his old stethoscope and BP cuff that he had left over from nursing school. I figured that it'd be a cheap drugstore brand, but my current steth was damaged, so I said that I'd take it. He pulls out a Littman Cardiology III in the box with all the replacement parts. :D Had my eye on that model, but it was juuuust little outside of my current budget.
 
I'm having an attack of whakerism, thinking about buying my own bp cuff kit lol. The ones we stock in the rigs are a bit older and cheaper basic models with the two tube design...I've used the single tube design before (where the guage and the pump are all in one piece) and I've really liked those, much easier to use IMO. I don't wanna buy a cheap one that'll just break or lose calibration and give me wonky numbers, nor do I wanna pay a fortune for something simple lol Kinda like buying a steth, I want something a little nicer than the bare bones models stocked by work, but don't need a super fancy cardiology 6000 or something lol
 
So my Mom's laptop automatically updated to Windows 10, so guess who got drafted into walking her through it including using Edge (Microsoft's replacement for Internet Explorer), downloading and using Chrome to access her email and download an attachment and opening it up in Word and.....lol
