Bennett works for a group of pediatricians, and a large part of his job consists of transcribing the physicians' notes into patient records in the EHR system. Over the weekend, he went hang-gliding with friends and crash-landed, breaking several bones in his right fingers and wrist. He is worried that he will not be able to type fast enough with just one hand to do his job efficiently. What should Bennett do?
A. Take a leave of absence until his hand heals
B. Request short-term disability leave
C. Request permission to use speech recognition technology
D. Explain to the physicians that everything will take twice as long for a while
E. Use the injured hand, even if it extends the healing time
C. Request permission to use speech recognition technology
This would be a good application for speech recognition technology. If the office uses Windows 7 systems or later, speech recognition is built into the operating system. All that would be needed is a microphone.
