reposted this as the quotes didn't come out, so it didn't make sense.

You said, With all the times I've had residents, PAs, or NPs dictate sentences, erase them, start again, erase them, and then end up saying go back to where I said [fill in the blank] and put [such and such] instead, I can't see a machine being able to correctly interpret all that. The idea is for the physician to work with the document being created in front of them. Then they can fix all this stuff as they go along. Just highlight the old stuff they want out and replace it with the new stuff they really wanted.

Also you said, I can't see the computers picking up medication errors, dosage errors, incorrect dates, new operative equipment, being able to correctly flag right/left, or correct spelling of cc'd physicians' names. It's possible many of these programs have a safety feature running with it that would do a pop screen for amoxicillin 5000 mg tid to question it. Physician names are probably in a pop up screen too, like a word expander. Just type the first few letters and up it comes. Of course, it's not going to correct everything but when the COX-2 inhibitors were taken off the market do you think a human could go through all 5,785 charts to find the people who had been prescribed Celebrex to call them to tell them to stop taking it? Of course not. It's not a matter of IF MT's will be replaced, it's already

happening.

Ad suspended for now, but look for repost

For anyone looking at this, I wanted to update and say that ProType, Inc. had such an overwhelming response to ad that they have suspended ad for now to assess what they received and will probably repost ad in a couple of weeks. So, look for it then, as they may be taking more resumes in a few weeks.

Ad has been removed & poster can repost including co. name.
