For years healthcare organizations have reaped the benefits of using electronic medical record systems (EMRs). The only drawback was that records needed to be created manually. That problem was solved by outsourcing the creation to transcriptionists. Unfortunately transcription is a slow and costly process that negated any savings of implementing an EMR system. Today healthcare organizations spend too much time and money on manual transcription services. On average, a single physician spends upwards of $25,000 per year to digitize patient information. Patients, insurance companies and the government are more demanding, particularly with respect to the completion and turnaround of information from patient encounters. Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions can provide an affordable way to automate the medical information collection process while significantly reducing administrative overhead, increasing productivity and providing better patient care.

Numerous healthcare industry studies have verified the benefits of using modern speech recognition software. Thousands of physicians already successfully use speech recognition to document their patient encounters. Speech enabling the creation of your electronic medical records offers the best of both worlds - speech recognition allows you to dictate into an automated patient record creation system that is HIPAA compliant; EMR systems help healthcare professionals process medical information more efficiently, reduce errors, decrease costs and provide a higher level of care.
