Document Type ShadowScribe ASR settings
This article explains the ASR options when setting up a document type for ASR. It covers special mappings, ASR Timeout and the Edit ShadowScribe Users settings.
Special Mappings
For better speech model performance, certain eScription-One document types should be mapped to specific Deliver Health Document Types. If you have any of these eScription-One document types: Consult, Procedure, Transfer summary, Letter, or a document type with no sections that is not a letter, follow the mapping table below:
If your eScription-One Document Type is a | Map it to the Deliver Health Document Type |
Consultation | History and Physical |
Procedure Note | Operative Note |
Transfer Summary | Discharge Summary |
Letter or some type of Letter | Correspondence |
Not of a Letter type format and does not have sections | Partial |
ASR Timeout
The ASR Timeout controls the amount of time the speech engine has to create a draft. For a dictation that is about 4 to 5 minutes long, the average time is about 10 to 12 minutes (about 2.5 mins for every 1 min of audio). The longer the audio, the longer the time to produce the draft.
Sometimes it can take longer for ASR to create a draft. ASR Timeout sets a limit on the amount of time the system has to create the draft. When the time limit it reached and ASR has not returned a draft to the eScription-One system, the draft will be cancelled and made available for typing. This prevents turn-around-time problems resulting from extended ASR draft creation times.
Set the ASR Timeout to the number of minutes you want ASR to have the draft before the eScription-One system cancels the draft. Recommended settings:
If the document type TAT is | Set ASR Timeout to |
2 hours | 60 minutes |
4 hours | 90 minutes |
6-8 hours | 120 minutes |
Over 8 hours | 240 minutes |
Edit ShadowScribe Users
Clicking the 'Edit ShadowScribe Users for' link will show the screen below. This screen lets you include or exclude a user for ASR for the current document type, allowing for a finer level of control over documents set to ASR. In some cases, a user may have a document format that is not suitable for ASR. With this option, you can remove (exclude) that user for the document type but not prevent others from using it.
To exclude a user, select the user from the Included Users box and click on the 'exclude' link arrow. To exclude multiple hold down the CTRL key and select multiple. To exclude all, click the 'exclude all' arrow. To include a user, perform the reverse. Select the user from the Excluded Users box and click on the 'include' link arrow. To include multiple hold down the CTRL key and select multiple. To include all, click the 'include all' arrow.
Enable selected document for ShadowScribe
This option will disable the entire document from going to ASR for all users. This can be used in place of setting the Deliver Health Document Type to blank.
For advanced users, this option can be used to disable the document type while keeping the Deliver Health Document type mapping. This can be helpful if you are temporarily disabling a document type. You won't have to remember to set the Deliver Health Document Type when you go to re-enable the eScription-One document, just check this box.
