With the growth of the electronic medical record, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center sought a speech recognition and transcription solution that would reduce costs, accelerate turnaround times, and provide reliable report distribution and reporting.
BIDMC executives elected to implement the eScription on-demand platform for computer aided medical transcription (CAMT), a solution based on the premise that it’s faster to edit than to type. Rather than following a traditional transcription process, powerful background speech recognition software turns clinicians’ dictations into accurate, fully formatted draft documents that MTs quickly review and edit, often doubling productivity.
Since launching the eScription platform, BIDMC has saved more than $10 million in transcription costs, doubled their transcription productivity, drastically reduced turnaround time from days to a matter of hours, and streamlined its transcription management process— all while integrating with its EHR.
