This report presents the results from an audit of the benefits of the Voice Recognition (VR) pilot in the Department of Histopathology at Kings College Hospital.

The Kings Histopathology department identified both new VR suppliers (who have resolved many of the previous problems linked to VR). This required a degree of risk taking. The Kings department remains convinced that VR significantly improves performance and is committed to full 'roll out' in due course.

This report sets out the findings of the audit that clearly indicates that turnaround times are greatly improved and significant secretarial time is saved. It also proves that the new VR technology not only works in this type of service setting, but will also add value to departments and functions that provide regular reports for requesting doctors.
