Evaluation of voice-based data entry to an electronic health record system for dentistry

Abstract This paper compares three methods of storage data of the patients in the field of dentistry: the paper dental card, a lifetime dental EHR controlled by keyboard and a lifetime dental EHR controlled by voice. The EuroMISE Center developed a pilot EHR application called MUDR Lite (multimedia distributed electronic health record). The study compares the elapsed time necessary to update/enter the information about the patient's dental status using the above mentioned three methods. The paper dental card is the most rapid method, but not the best for medical documentation and dentists.
