“The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has been using the Provox Voice Recognition system for our Anatomic Pathology reporting since March of 2008. The opportunities of the system soon were realized as our residents and faculty began the training process. Residents no longer had to collect tapes from hand held recorders or wait in the mornings until the dictation system was re-booted, they now had a system that allowed them to dictate, replay, edit, or send to an editor and insert into the Laboratory Information System a clean, edited version of their dictations. For the attending pathologists, the quicker turnaround time, greater accuracy and fewer mistakes without repeatedly sending the reports back to a transcription department for correction increased their productivity and allowed [providers] to focus more of their time on research and teaching.”

“One of the most beneficial aspects of the Provox System is the fact that it is independent of the LIS. If the LIS goes down we are able to continue processing specimens using Provox as a repository for the dictations and later attaching to the correct case when the LIS service is reinstated.”
