don't know about the hospital
Both of my children were born at home. And no, souls aren't "inhaled" they are the breath of G-d. What a nasty comment from you.
One part of our hospital tried VR and then
that was the emergency room, they went back to the regular dictation. The medical records, however, went to VR, excellent system and all the physicians are on there with the exception of the interns and they are only there for a month or so and they straight dictate. Ours did not start out with, as you put it, the good American doctors, everyone on and the system has learned amazingly well. I love VR and love doing it. On the other hand have just picked up several records for a variety of other physicians and the mistakes made on the EMRs are ridiculous. One place has me with hypotension, taking lisinopril and the last time I checked that was for high blood pressure. One place has me going in for abdominal pain, I think that was my upper legs were aching (how did that turn out to be the other?), no endocrine problems. I have hypothyroidism. Oh, the wrongful entering goes on.
The local hospital uses a system like this
but it's just a matter of time until they will invest in the additional equipment so they no longer need any MTs. I forgot about all the file clerks, etc. in medical records whose jobs have already been cut. Lordy!!! What on earth are we all gonna do when they "save money" by taking away ALL our jobs.
I work on an EMR system for a hospital.
It has an interface where the physicians dictate and we transcribe. The report is then uploaded for physician review and signature. After being signed, the report is electronically filed in the patient's record. The patient records are stored electronically and are easily accessed by staff from any the hospitals within our healthcare system. At least in an acute care setting, the system has not replaced MT's but rather reduced the staffing in the in Medical Records.
Hey! In 1947, a hospital bill was
$1.25 to birth a baby. In 1969, it was $125. What is it today?
I type for a local mental hospital
and I go in and get the tapes and bring them home. They don't use a big company for their transcription. I do this as a side job actually. The pay is much better than a big MT company as well. I enjoy typing those type of reports as well.
So souls are inhaled at the hospital? Interesting concept. (sm)
I don't think any of the Jewish people I know believe that but I will ask them.

Some educational advice. Go to your local hospital and city hall....sm
Ask them how births are recorded. I think you will be surprised. EVERYTHING is now computerized. Even old birth records.
