Implementing speech recognition (SR) in radiology departments significantly reduces transcription costs and report turnaround times. This study demonstrates an affordable SR system integration in military medical facilities, proving its cost-effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology Informatics
  • Medical Technology Integration
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Speech recognition (SR) offers potential cost savings by reducing transcription services.
  • Faster report turnaround times in radiology can improve patient care.
  • Transcription backlogs often delay critical diagnostic information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the integration of off-the-shelf speech recognition software into a Hospital Information System.
  • To evaluate the impact of SR on report turnaround times and costs in military medical facilities.
  • To determine the feasibility of an affordable SR system implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Visual Basic 6.0 for integrating SR software into a Hospital Information System.
  • Compared SR system performance against contract transcription services.

  • Calculated costs and turnaround times across three military medical facility types (teaching, non-teaching, clinic).

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved significant cost savings: $3,319 (teaching), $45,500 (non-teaching), and $10,650 (clinic) over six months.
    • Reduced average report turnaround time from 15.7 to 4.7 hours in a teaching facility.
    • Demonstrated substantial improvements in non-teaching facilities (89 to 19 hours).

    Conclusions:

    • Affordable speech recognition systems can be designed and implemented without large-scale commercial solutions.
    • SR integration in radiology departments is a viable method for reducing overhead and improving efficiency.
    • The study confirms the cost-effectiveness and time-saving benefits of SR in diverse military healthcare settings.
