PowerScribe

PowerScribe is getting better and better for radiology. Many doctors self-edit which means they no longer need transcriptionists and/or editors. I was able to reduce my department from 30 to 10 FTEs within two years. I personally think it is easier to transcribe than edit. I guess I am just an old dog that cannot learn new tricks. My mind tends to drift when editing. PowerScribe does miss a lot of the small words such as an,and, if, a, to etc. You will find yourself reading the report for content instead of accuracy, and you will miss a lot of little details. On the upside, my turnaround time has improved dramatically.

Powerscribe
I've never used Powerscribe before, but noticed your comment about staying away from Powerscribe. What is the downside to it, if you don't mind discussing? Is it editing and transcribing, or just editing? Also, can you not rack up lines as easily as with other platforms?
Powerscribe
Our hospital got suckered into Powerscribe. VR is horrible. Radiologists wont work with it. Editing is a nightmare and our work has now doubled. Job security I guess??
Does anyone have info on Powerscribe?
Does anyone have info on Powerscribe VR (i.e. editors)? How accurate is it?
Did any of you work on Powerscribe
They discussed that account with me and I know nothing about it other than some other post saying to avoid it.
Powerscribe, I hate it
xx
Anybody have any experience using Powerscribe for Radiology?
Wondering what the platform is like to work on.
powerscribe is horrible if you have to straight type on it. nm

They are not promoting it; one account has it, that's all except a few radiology Powerscribe acco
I know they do not like it!
There are few account for editing Powerscribe. Not for medical records or for most radiology sm
accounts. There are few accounts that ditched VR, which is nice. I think that is going to help set Keystrokes apart; being open to the idea of it but not pushing it.
That's not always true. I have been editing a Powerscribe account for 2 years. The work sm
has actually steadily increased due to fewer and fewer radiologists self-editing their own work.
I know of at least 4 other Powerscribe accounts at Keystrokes that are also increasing in volume for the same reason.
I am sorry that the account you were on with Webmedx went to total self-edit. I know that Keystrokes had a few that did that too, just not all of them.
