ARRGH! This is my "favorite"

blah,blah, . No, take that out. Oh, I'm sorry. Put it back in. (2 minute pause). I'm sorry, let me reword that..... blah,blah, blah. Oh, I'm sorry, it should read ..... Oops. Please add to the discharge diagnosis this....Oh, I forgot this, please add the the physical exam. Oh, and another consultant add please...Oh, no. Dr. so-so and did NOT do this consult. Take him out.

Finally, almost done.....Shucks, go back to ..... and put this in. No, leave it out.. it should state blah, blah, blah.

A 12 minute dictation = 4 minutes of the report. Some day, I'm going to type every thing this doctor states as he states it if I get up the guts to do it. LOL

You nailed it!  ShortHand is compatible as an Expander but the lag time makes it hit-or-miss.  I turn off my computer every day, so that's not the answer in this case.  You're also right about the dictation part of the equation - it's a separate piece of software from another company. 

Aria does pull information across (labs, diagnoses, etc.) but if the dictation is typed prior to the doctor approving this (labs usually) it doesn't show up in the document.  I was told that I would have to mark the document incomplete then check the next day to see if the info was approved, then cut and paste it into the document and mark it complete. 

I'm supposed to be an automaton of efficiency and professionalism designed to turn out a buttload of work in a timely manner that makes people look like they know what they're doing.  I don't have time to babysit a platform that doesn't meet those needs! 

You've given me a lot to think about.  Thanks for the info and taking the time to reply!
