Requires medical transcription dictation / transcription systems, word-processing software, modem and telephone connection, and computers.

1] Dictation Systems

Lanier and Dictaphone, Sony, Philips, and VDI. Other products include voice systems BCB, Bytescribe, Careflow / Net, Crescendo, Digital Voice, Dolbey and MedPAN. Newer products that are based on Windows are gaining momentum.

a. Digital Dictation

Computerization has issued impacted the media. Digital technology converts the analog voice to the waveforms using the numbers that are the foundation on all computers (0s and is). This translates into a higher quality of reproduction of the original voice.

The dictator of a doctor € ™ s office brand through a phone to access the digital system. In a hospital or clinic wider access may be difficult to make telephone cable connecting unnecessary. The dictator is specified between the identifiers (ID author, type of work, patient ID, etc.) via the telephone keypad or a bar code reader. They can move through dictation easier than in the previous systems, to edit, update, stop / start.

When the dictation is being done, the voice is received by a board that digitizes and transfers to a disk systems instantly available to anyone who needs to listen to the report, or to transcribe. The report by the resident may be assigned to the Transcriptionist through the management of a terminal, or self-selection. For the transcription, dictation can be accessed either by telephone, the Internet, or directly (with systems resident), and include options for a visual inspection (C-phone) or simply with a pedal.

A distance Transcriptionist can download the files to avoid long periods of time in a long distance. More and more small, medium and large companies and even the small privateers are using the web to retrieve dictation and to deliver the resulting document transcribed.

2] transcription and data transfer software

Several spellcheckers focuses on medical terms are available; Spelex, and the traditional medical dictionaries (Dorland € ™ s Stedmanâ € ™ s) have spellcheckers. Programs are also available to accelerate the process of transcription using speedtyping same software. A very good program for the Smartype.

b. File transfers

Modem Modem: The Transcriptionist has completed its report and the documents must be handed over to the doctor, hospital, or Transcription Company. As might be expected, there are several ways to do this. The first is the modem-to-modem transfer, in which a PC “Cal” and the other files will be transferred directly through telephone lines in a database residing on the medical facility PC (or central ).

Since the transfer of files depends on the speed of modems that are involved can take a long time, and phone charges can be prohibitive. The documents are also available only on a PC or a system where they surrendered. Finally, a large medical facility safety net and firewal can inhibit this type of delivery.
