User Dictation Preferences

On the Main Menu, click Settings > Clinicals. In the left menu, under Practice Links — Chart/Encounter, click Encounter Dictation Preferences

Your practice must have the Encounter Dictation feature enabled, and you must have the Clinicals: Encounter Dictation permission to access this page and to create and delete audio recordings for an encounter. All practice users (with appropriate Clinicals permissions) can listen to existing encounter dictations without this additional permission.

Providers who will be dictating in another application must have the Clinicals: Encounter Dictation permission turned on in athenaOne. Additionally, users who will be responsible for monitoring transcriptions must have the Clinicals Admin permission.

1. Display the User Dictation Preferences page: On the Main Menu, click Settings > Clinicals. In the left menu, under Practice Links — Chart/Encounter, click Encounter Dictation Preferences.
2. Click Add new.
   Additional fields appear.
   
3. User — Select the user who uses dictation to document encounters.
   Note: This field lists only users in your practice who have permission to dictate and do not already have a preference set, as well as a default option that applies to any users without their own preference.
4. Assign to this role while waiting for transcription — Select the practice role to assign the encounters that are pending transcription.
   Note: This menu lists all existing practice roles. You can create a new practice role dedicated to transcription using the Practice Roles page.
5. Click Save.
   The "Move to REVIEW, assigned to" option at encounter sign-off now defaults to the selected role for any encounters that are pending transcription.
