Voice recognition advancements in the healthcare sector reduce operational risk and are of paramount importance to ensure the safety of patients.
(1888PressRelease) November 01, 2013 - Voice recognition technology has been used in clinical situations for some time, but recent advances in this field have led to some exciting developments and concepts. For businesses in the clinical industry, reducing operational risk is usually one of the leading objectives, and WORDtrans is constantly taking an active role to ensure that voice recognition technology is evolving to meet the ever-changing translation and transcription needs of healthcare businesses. As societies become more global, the need to understand and communicate in a growing number of languages is also increasing to an unprecedented level. WORDtrans is delighted to report that the technology is more than capable of keeping up with this demand.
In a clinical or healthcare situation, a lack of details about a patient could have potentially devastating consequences. If it is not possible to recall their files or medical history in a timely manner, doctors and surgeons may end up proceeding into an unknown situation. This puts the life of the patient at risk, and it could also lead to legal implications in the current litigious climate of the industry. If there are no speakers of a particular language available, voice recognition software can be used to transcribe a passage of conversation from the patient or their representative. Further software can then be used to perform a summary translation, or the documentation can be sent over the Internet to a professional translator. Modern data transmission systems have made it possible to carry out this whole task in minutes, which could be vital to saving a patient's life. For 100% peace of mind, the original audio recording can also be sent to a language professional - meaning that the possibility of transcription errors is also practically reduced to zero.
From a personnel point of view, this technology can also bring long-term benefits for new members of staff. The global healthcare recruitment marketplace shows that there is a high demand for medical professionals across the world, and there are often language barriers in the areas where they are needed the most. Taking the USA or the UK as examples, many people emigrate to improve their career prospects and build upon their English language skills. Voice recognition and translation software can help them to make vital communications with other doctors and representatives of the patient, and modern Cloud Computing solutions can also instantly adapt to different dialects and accents (as demonstrated by the Siri technology found on many Apple iOS devices).
