Abstract

Speech is transcribed to produce a transcript. At least some of the text in the transcript is encoded as data. These codings may be verified for accuracy and corrected if inaccurate. The resulting transcript is provided to a decision support system to perform functions such as checking for drug-drug, drug-allergy, and drug-procedure interactions, and checking against clinical performance measures (such as recommended treatments). Alerts and other information output by the decision support system are associated with the transcript. The transcript and associated decision support output are provided to a physician to assist the physician in reviewing the transcript and in taking any appropriate action in response to the transcript.
