The characteristic that would lead to the conclusion that SR systems would be impractical for documentation of patient care during crisis situations is that the type of speech required for voice recognition is unlikely in a pressured situation. Patients in crisis situations may be unable to speak clearly or may require urgent interventions that make it difficult to verbally communicate effectively. Therefore, SR systems may not be reliable for accurate documentation during these situations.
