Data and reports are dictated
directly into MEDITECH in real time and are
immediately available throughout the hospital.
Hands-free report dictation, review, and sign-off.
Provider typing skills are not necessary.
Increased report accuracy and legibility improves department productivity
and hospital accounting, liability issues.
Instant conversion of speech to text eliminates the long turnaround times of manual transcription.
Use not limited to
MEDITECH HCIS. Users can also dictate into email or
word processing software.
Note: The
phrase "front end dictation" is frequently used to describe
the process whereby dictated text appears immediately on the
screen. This is opposed to "back end dictation" where
the transcription takes place out of site. Although
there are multiple "front-end" workflows available the only
method of entering the text directly into Meditech in real
time without running an interface is the one described
above. In all other cases "front-end" workflows
require the use of interfaces that send the text from their
workflow to Meditech. (See below: IT Simplicity)
TRANSCRIPTION COSTS
REDUCED OR ENTIRELY ELIMINATED
There are potential savings of thousands of dollars per year, per doctor.
The cost per user is a fraction of that from alternative third-party dictation/transcription products.
Successful speech users will free up transcription
bandwidth for those providers who don't use speech
recognition.
ROI typically in less
than 3 months.
IT SIMPLICITY PROVIDING
LOW COST IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE
Everything is done within MEDITECH HCIS thereby eliminating the additional overhead typically required to run a parallel transcription system.
Development, maintenance, and interface problems with third-party systems are eliminated. This is especially significant when MEDITECH updates their software.
Interoperability between speech and MEDITECH will be certified by MEDITECH.
