AHDPG Relaunches Industry's First Online Speech Recognition Editing Training Program

SHREWSBURY, Mass. - Aug. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- The aging of the U.S. population, the ongoing implementation of electronic medical records and the increased detail and specificity required to support the healthcare industry's move to ICD-10 is causing the volume of healthcare documentation to explode!  

As a result, speech recognition technology is transforming the way the vast majority of healthcare documentation is created and causing medical transcriptionists, medical transcription service organizations, hospitals, and community colleges to update their skills and training programs to better meet the needs of today's healthcare documentation specialists/medical transcriptionists.  

The AHDPG online speech recognition editing training program has been revamped with this in mind. The program now includes updated information, access to the latest version of 3M's Chartscript.com speech recognition editing platform and hands-on practice with authentic physician voice files to allow each student an opportunity to gain "real-world" experience with speech recognition editing.

In addition, the cost of the program has been reduced to $295.00 - making it the most economical online speech recognition editing training offering on the market.

This course is a 100% online, self-study program with a rolling enrollment designed to be completed at the student’s individual pace within an approximately 8- to 12-week time frame.  It offers the student the opportunity for ample hands-on practice on 3M’s ChartScript.com platform using authentically speech-recognized drafts from actual physician dictations.

Who should take this course?

Any medical transcriptionist or healthcare documentation specialist who desires to remain at the top of his or her profession and realizes the job security that comes with it. The demand for speech recognition editing skills is increasing dramatically due to tighter hospital budgets, the aging population and the continued labor shortage. Speech recognition editing is a skill that will help you remain competitive and stay employed in spite of economic changes and technological advances in healthcare documentation.
