It’s always slower than typing properly.

I don't type properly (use about half my fingers) but I find 80wpm is usually fast enough.

Using half your fingers is different from using two.

I would assume you, the person behind the wheel of the car. Much the same the doctor/staff hitting the submit button on the validity of the records statement.

So Boeing should not have any liability for the MCAS crashes, because the pilots were in control?

There's not much that a pilot can do when a plane is not working correctly. They can recognize the issue but they might not be in a position to do anything about it.

If an auto-form filler is not working correctly the doctor can also recognize the issue and also be in a position to do something about it, namely, fix the error before they submit the form.

That is to say that there's a world of a difference between a pilot flying a plane and a doctor filling out a form.

It's a bit unfair since it's an easy mistake to make but I treat HIPPA as the equivalent of seeing a resume that says someone knows SAP, Bash, JAVA, GIT, Perl. The capitalization is kind of bozo-signaling. HIPPA is bozo-signaling. I wouldn't expect right capitalization of FedRAMP. But JAVA vs. Java and HIPPA vs HIPAA just seem like you're not truly familiar.

I'm not sure what your comment is: it's a bit unfair; it's easy to make a mistake; it's bozo-signaling; [you] wouldn't expect right [correct?] capitalization; [something other than capitalization] seem[s] like you're not truly familiar. What's unfair? Are random mistakes unfair (that's a very good philosophical question)? Are we forbidden from learning about other people from their mistakes or from mistakes generally…

HIPPA rules are easily circumvented unless you as a patient are paying attention: I can't tell you how many forms I've opted out of that wanted to explicitly export my data to third parties and partners that are not HIPPA compliant. And at least for my healthcare providers that use MyCharts, they like to make it part of the echeckin workflow, with no option to refuse. So you're forced to go up to the desk to check in…

Wait—this doesn't make any sense. I'm a physician and have a lot of experience dealing with protected health information. Third parties are required to sign a HIPAA BAA and obligated to uphold privacy/security standards equal to that of your physician and hospital. Can you provide some specific examples of the third parties you're talking about? MyChart itself is a component of Epic (the EMR) and is absolutely HIPAA…

I don’t usually comment on these posts, but as a HIPAA compliance practitioner working with covered entities (also business associates) I have to take a contrarian view of HIPAA compliance efforts by providers. HIPAA is mostly a “check the box” type of compliance effort, as opposed to building a “culture of compliance.” Most compliance efforts stop at the technology barrier. For business associates, the compliance dynamic is even worse. While the larger BA’s do generally comply, because their focus is generally on the technology, for midsized and smaller BA’s , in most cases know the CE will take at face value that the BA is compliance. But there is a reason about 30% (by number) of all breached are caused by BA’s

On that front, there is the cool AquaVoice input method: https://withaqua.com/ anyone is looking at doing an open-source version of that? I guess with a mini-whisper and mini fine-tuned GPT-like model we could get 99% of the way there

3 days later - I sub to Aqua, it's an astonishingly good product. I wish I could insert this on any textbox I wanted to though.

Also I wish for an app. Pls aqua people. Keeping my phone's screen on while I transcribe sucks.

I can type with two fingers faster than I can type with full hands. I’m still trying to get my touch typing up to the speed of my two fingers.

I spent two years typing with just my forefingers, and can dk 80wpm with 99+ accuracy and I don’t look at the keyboard.

With two hands I’m still at 60-65 roughly and with worse accuracy but I’m sure it will come with time.

Which one? And what sorts of things is it picking up on?

https://www.lyrebirdhealth.com/ and I know of at least one case where the patient mentioned something relevant, but not connected to the main issue they were talking about. The doctor missed it because it wasn't the main topic, but the transcript and the notes included it.

yeah Lyrebird health... been hearing some crazy as stuff about them - wouldn't be surprised if they were YC soon

Before I start, I'm not singling you out- I am happy that you're participating in this discussion and sharing your first hand knowledge. The thing for me is that if HIPAA truly does provide me privacy of my personal information and health care information, why are all of these privacy and consent forms required? Whenever I am handed a form that says "privacy policy" my sense is immediately raised - what is it that th…

No problem—glad to participate! There's a lot of cynicism that leads to misinformation about how healthcare works, so I'd like to clean that up. Let's attack and fix the broken parts of the system, but we should praise the working parts. I think patient privacy/security is one of the few things the US gets mostly right about healthcare. Regarding the privacy policies: these are created by the legal department and phy…

I spoke with the compliance manager at the urgent care this afternoon and had a pleasant conversation. I shared my concerns that I was never provided a copy of the paperwork I was expected to sign - and they took that feedback to hopefully improve in the future.

I had one question in case you’re still monitoring this thread. The compliance manager mentioned a “health information exchange” which I opted out of (since it was something I can control). Do you have experience with these? It seems benign from the searches I’ve done since the conversation but I would be curious if you had any insight as a medical professional

For my personnal use I've been using a minimalist script for a while : https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/Quick-Whisper-Typer

don't be afraid to contribute it's a bit rough around the edges

that sounds like a great open source project, I'm interested in starting on it if there's nothing out there.
