Dictation has always been part of patient care. The need to provide more and more services means that dictation can allow healthcare providers the opportunity to see more patients instead of laboring over hand-written or typed notes. Digital dictation now gives physicians, nurses and other practioners even greater efficiency and reduced documentation errors.
American Dictation got it's start building the first comprehensive Web-based, HIPAA compliant file transfer and management system in the industry. As leader's in helping healthcare providers and their transcriptionists work more efficiently and securely, we are always analyzing new products and systems to determine "best-of-class" solutions.
Today's professional digital recording devices generally include software to help providers not only manage their dictation files, but also help them move or send files to transcriptionists in ways that maintain HIPAA compliance.
If you're a transcriptionist, see our special Solutions for Transcriptionists page.
Today, the three major digital recorder manufacturers offer handheld recorders that are not only easy to use, they also provide "in recorder" encryption to fully protect your dictations from unauthorized playback. The Olympus DS-5000, Philips 9600 and Grundig Digta 420 have PIN code locks to prevent others from playing back dictations on your recorder. Additionally, these encrypted files cannot be played from a removed media card.
One recorder, the Olympus DS-5000iD includes a bio-metric fingerprint scanner to make unlocking the recorder as easy as swiping a finger across a small reader on the back of the recorder.
The Olympus DSS Player Pro Release 5 software (included with the DS-5000 and DS-5000iD) and the Philips SpeechExec Pro Dictate Version 5 software (included with the Philips 9600 and 9500) can be configured to encrypt and send voice dictations over a network, by e-mail or by FTP. The Grundig DigtaSoft Pro software provides network and e-mail transfers.
For returning documents from a remote transcriptionist, only the Olympus DSS Player Pro software offers encrypted document sending capabilities.
For those physicians using EMR systems, speech recognition can truly add an increased level of productivity by reducing your dictation time and increasing input accuracy. Nuance's Dragon Medical 10 and Dragon Medical Small Practice 10 offer two ideal solutions for healthcare providers wanting complete EMR integration and/or increased dictation efficiency.
For hospitals and practices using EMR systems, Dragon Medical 10 gives you EMR input capability, multiple workstation use and two additional specialized vocabularies: radiology and pathology.
For practices of less than 10 physicians who are not yet using EMR for patient evaluation information, Dragon Medical Small Practice 10 can truly increase dictation efficiency and accuracy, but at a cost-savings over Dragon Medical 10.
