JAWS privacy

[Emily Ogle]

Hello everyone,

I work in Healthcare IT and we've had some questions around how to protect patient privacy when someone is using JAWS. What are some strategies you've all used? Would headphones be as simple as it needs to be? Additionally, what are some ways we can protect patient information when using Speech recognition software, such as Dragon?

Appreciate any insights this group has!

I'm assuming you are strictly addressing the issue of audio being heard by
others. In most situations, a headset is all you need for JAWS users.
(Since a refreshable Braille arguably decreases privacy less than inform
being displayed on a screen, I think it can be ignored in this question.)
Speech recognition is unlikely to be addressed by anything less than
someone having a semi-private environment for entering sensitive personal
information (SPI). Whether speech recognition decreases privacy is going
to depend on the environment. In example, a patient medical history that
involves some SPI such as a patient's DOB and health number is typically
taken in a public space in emergency rooms. The reception/admission area
may be somewhat removed from seating areas in an attempt to offer some
privacy. But realistically, until a patient is put into a private room,
privacy in a hospital environment is not really afforded with the curtains
that partition emergency beds and shared rooms.

Hi,
Michael nailed the screen reader part.
for speech input some type of "steno mask" - a hand-held microphone built
into a padded, sound-proof enclosure that fits over the speaker's mouth or
nose and mouth. (wikipedia)
would be necessary. They block outside noise, and hide what the user is
saying.

Speech recognition is unlikely to be addressed by anything less than
someone having a semi-private environment for entering sensitive personal
information (SPI). Whether speech recognition *decreases* privacy is
going to depend on the environment. In example, a patient medical history
that involves some SPI such as a patient's DOB and health number is
typically taken in a public space in emergency rooms. The
reception/admission area may be somewhat removed from seating areas in an

Thank you all.
Just curious if anyone has numbers on the steno mask. Do people use it as intended? Seems a steno mask would be cheaper than Dragon Medical (yikes).

Emily,
you use them (Dragon and Steno Mask) together.
https://talktech.com/stenomask-steno-sr/ about $220-290 depending on
features.
or
http://www.martelelectronics.com/stenomask-mini-microphones-for-court-reporters/
less than $200
