Hello,
I hope that I'm posting this in the correct section.
I am a coder at a physician's practice and recently noticed that one of our providers that uses software to dictate their notes from speech has a note that seems rather problematic, it reads:
"Portions of this note were generated using Dragon Naturally Speaking software. Dictation may not have been thoroughly reviewed."
Some fellow coworkers and myself think this would directly contradict a signature on the note as our understanding is the signature of the provider is to signify that they are taking responsibility for everything in that note.
There seems to be PLENTY of opinions on this but I'm hard pressed to find an actual guideline, law, etc. that would support why this auto-generating note might need to be changed.
Thank you
