Hello Friends,

Electronic medical records (EMIs) refers to technology that integrates computers, software and networking in an effort to reduce the costs of maintaining paper medical records. One key component of this technology is voice recognition software. Using advanced voice-to-text programs, physicians dictate notes into recording devices and later transcribe them into digital records.
Before the age of tape recorders, doctors scribbled hand-written notes on paper when they met with patients. These notes later became part of massive repositories of paper, sticky notes and folders stored in file cabinets. Organization was limited, and without the aid of computers, medical personnel had limited search capabilities. With the advent of audio recording devices, doctors began recording their notes onto tape recorders. Assistants or secretaries would later play back these recordings and transcribe what they heard using typewriters. Word processors replaced typewriters after the invention of personal computers.

Thanks and Regards,
