根據一家國際咨詢公司Frost & Sullivan(Palo Alto, CA, USA)的報告，歐洲的醫院正在逐步部署電子醫療檔案(EMR)系統來確保患者的安全性、精確性和可入性，以及實時健康信息。為了簡化這項工程，醫院正在使用聲音識別設備。

在醫療健康領域使用聲音識別是一項新興的市場，并且有望逐步擴大。采用聲音識別解決方案能夠免除使用機構轉錄工作人員，從而大大降低巨額的成本。潛在的應用領域包括轉錄、患者監測、互動系統、遠程醫學和電子健康檔案生成、維護和安全等各個領域。

 
Generating Medical Records with Voice Recognition
 
Hospitals in Europe are increasingly deploying electronic medical record (EMR) systems to ensure patient safety and accurate, accessible, and real-time health information. To facilitate this move, hospitals are using voice recognition, according to a new report from Frost & Sullivan (Palo Alto, CA, USA), an international consulting firm.

The use of voice recognition in healthcare management is still an emerging market and is expected to expand. Adopting voice recognition solutions can eliminate the need for in-house transcription staff, resulting in a huge cost reduction. Potential applications include transcription, patient monitoring, interactive response systems, and telemedicine as well as electronic health-record generation, maintenance, and security.
