Gerardo 

I expect that transcribed notes will be dealt with in essentially the
same way as incoming correspondence, although filed in a different part
of the record. 

In Oz few GPs would dictate and most data recording occurs during the
course of the consultation. Medicare, the health financing scheme,
reinforces this mode of consultation (by only paying the doctor for the
time the patient is present in the consulting room).
