If the requirements are met, raw text renditions can be created the following ways:
-
By importing text transcriptions using the HL7 Advanced Document Import processor
-
By editing text transcriptions using the transcription editor in the Medical Records Unity Client or DeficiencyPop
When you enable the Preserve Text Formatting when Editing Transcription setting, you may already have text transcriptions existing in your system. If a text transcription does not have a raw text rendition, then the raw text rendition is created the first time a physician opens the transcription in the transcription editor.
-
In this case, the transcription editor initially loads the standard (not raw) text rendition. If the physician makes any edits before closing the editor, the edits are made using the standard text rendition.
-
For any subsequent edits, the transcription editor loads the raw text rendition. The raw text rendition retains all whitespace characters, including spaces, tabs, form feeds, and carriage returns.
If the Preserve Text Formatting when Editing Transcription setting is disabled after raw text renditions are created, the raw text renditions will be ignored. Formatting in the transcription editor will behave as it did before the setting was selected.
