Dictation Best Practices A Guide for Physicians Presented by The Association of Healthcare Documentation Integrity

Why Best Practices in Dictation? Quality documentation is an essential component of ongoing clinical decision- making and coordination of care.

Quality Dictation  Improves communication among caregivers.  Promotes patient safety.  Reduces turnaround time from dictation to availability  Ensures an uncompromised legal document.  Reduces costs associated with error and documentation delay.

Poor Dictation  Leads to errors in documentation.  Puts patient and coordinated care at risk.  Compromises reimbursement.  Impacts coordination of care and timely decision-making

Problematic Dictation  Rapid speech  Poor articulation  Insufficient volume  Background noise  Incorrect or insufficient patient information  Erroneous demographics

Organization  Gather all patient encounter information and organize data before dictating.  Dictate in an organized, chronological order.  Follow established documentation templates and standardized formats.

Equipment  Refer to tip sheets for proper use of dictation equipment.  Follow facility guidelines for accessing and entering digital information.  Use correct hand-held settings or telephone keypad functions to avoid clipped words.

Demographics  Key identifying information when prompted.  State and spell the patient’s name.  Include at least one other patient identifier (i.e., birth date, MRN or account number).  State the date of service.

Helpful Hints  Avoid eating, chewing gum, etc.  Physically pause while yawning, coughing or sneezing.  Pause recording to engage in other conversations.  Avoid cell phones due to unreliable signal strength; also not HIPAA compliant.  Avoid extraneous background noise – ie, busy nurse’s stations, TVs, music, etc.

Key Syllables  Recognize and clarify words and letters that can sound the same when dictated:  “No history” vs. “known history”  Abduction vs. Adduction  Hypo vs hyper  BMP vs. BNP  CNS vs. C&S

Abbreviations  Clarify uncommon abbreviations.  Expand abbreviations for which more than one definition may exist to avoid misinterpretation.  Avoid dangerous abbreviations; utilize abbreviations from facility’s approved list.

Numbers  Dictate critical values clearly and succinctly.  Differentiate numbers that may sound the same when dictated (50 vs. 15, 60 vs. 16).  Include units of measure where necessary and appropriate.  Dictate vital sign and lab test designations so numbers do not stand ambiguously alone.

Feedback Provide feedback and direction to medical records personnel and/or transcription staff to improve data capture and avoid repeated errors.

The Bottom Line High-quality documentation outcomes start with high-quality dictation that ensures accurate capture, timely turn-around, and maximized reimbursement.
