With iChart, traditional transcription and speech recognition are both options, and either type of work can be managed side-by-side with full visibility for administrators. Voice files designated for recognition are routed through the iChart recognition engine.

iChart is perfect for:

• Physician Groups, Clinics, and Hospitals without available IT staff or resources to support an on-premise hardware/software solution.
• Organizations who wish to deploy speech recognition technology with a combination of Dictaphone technology and outsourced transcription/editing.
• Transcription services companies who want an alternative to capital investment for their dictation and transcription system. iChart allows service companies to scale their systems as their business grows.

• Gain Internet access to industry-leading speech recognition and dictation/ transcription software that integrates easily with your present workflow.
• Reduce the need for on-site equipment and capital investment.
• Reduce report turnaround time dramatically, while better managing demanding report volumes.
• Offer physicians "once-and-done" reporting control, with dictation short-cuts and electronic signature capabilities, accessible via the web-based iChart Workstation.
• Ease speech recognition introduction to organizations with heavy reliance on outsourced transcription with Dictaphone's Preferred Service Provider (PSP) network of thousands of medical transcriptionists across the country.

Key to the success of iChart is its ability to offer physicians dictation choices that match personal preferences as well as the needs of the healthcare facility:

• Telephone Dictation
  Although Internet-based, the iChart software offers direct telephone access, letting you easily bring the benefits of speech recognition/digital dictation to any physician in your facility. iChart can also be used with Dictaphone’s popular Connexions phone dictate station.
• PC-based Dictation
  Using Dictaphone iChart Workstation and a specially designed dictation microphone, physicians can dictate from any browser-enabled PC and view reports for electronic signature.
• Mobile Dictation
  Nuance also offers Dictaphone GoMD wireless PocketPC PDA applications for providers that prefer mobile dictation and quick access to patient information. Dictation is automatically and securely transmitted to the iChart Data Center for processing.
