First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program product for computing a correction rate predictor for medical record dictations, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions for causing a computer to:
- initiate automatic speech recognition processing of a dictation to initiate producing a draft medical transcription of at least a portion of the dictation;
determine features of at least a portion of the dictation to produce a feature set comprising a combination of features of the dictation, the features being relevant to a quantity of expected transcription errors in the transcription of the at least a portion of the dictation;
analyze the feature set to compute a predicted correction rate associated with the at least a portion of the dictation;
use the predicted correction rate to determine whether to abandon the automatic speech recognition processing prior to automatic speech recognition processing of all of the dictation;
use the predicted correction rate to determine whether to provide at least a portion of the draft medical transcription of the at least a portion of the dictation to a transcriptionist; and
provide the at least a portion of the draft medical transcription to the transcriptionist if the predicted correction rate is below a threshold.

Abstract
A computer program product for computing a correction rate predictor for medical record dictations, the computer program product residing on a computer-readable medium includes computer-readable instructions for causing a computer to obtain a draft medical transcription of at least a portion of a dictation, the dictation being from medical personnel and concerning a patient, determine features of the dictation to produce a feature set comprising a combination of features of the dictation, the features being relevant to a quantity of transcription errors in the transcription, analyze the feature set to compute a predicted correction rate associated with the dictation and use the predicted correction rate to determine whether to provide at least a portion of the transcription to a transcriptionist.

15. An automatic transcription system for processing a medical dictation, the system comprising:
at least one processor programmed to; initiate automatic speech recognition processing of a dictation to initiate producing a draft transcription of at least a portion of the dictation; compute a correction rate prediction for the at least a portion of the dictation by analyzing a plurality of features of the dictation, the correction rate prediction indicating a quality of the at least a portion of the dictation for production of the draft transcription; use the correction rate prediction to determine whether to abandon the automatic speech recognition processing prior to automatic speech recognition processing of all of the at least a portion of the dictation; and produce the draft transcription for editing if and only if the correction rate prediction for the at least a portion of the dictation meets a criterion. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method comprising acts of:
-
(A) initiating automatic speech recognition processing of a medical dictation to initiate producing a draft medical transcription of at least a portion of the dictation; (B) determining, by at least one processor, features of at least a portion of the medical dictation to produce a feature set comprising a combination of features of the medical dictation, the features being relevant to a quantity of expected transcription errors in the transcription of the at least a portion of the medical dictation; (C) analyzing, by the at least one processor, at least part of the feature set to compute a predicted correction rate associated with the at least a portion of the medical dictation; (D) comparing, by the at least one processor, the predicted correction rate to a threshold; (E) abandoning the automatic speech recognition processing prior to automatic speech recognition processing of all of the medical dictation when the predicted correction rate meets or exceeds the threshold; (F) providing, by the at least one processor, at least a portion of the draft medical transcription to a transcriptionist when the predicted correction rate is below the threshold; and (G) refraining, by the at least one processor, from providing the at least a portion of the draft medical transcription to the transcriptionist for editing when the predicted correction rate meets or exceeds the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
