To Enhance Your Transcription Workflow While Saving Costs & Resources
Is your dictation & transcription workflow integrated with each other? Is your organization suffering from the slow speed and limited availability of word processing features in Legacy HIS systems? Are you among many struggling to meet the increased demand for clinical documentation and faster turnaround times? TSG is proud to present a free of charge webinar to enhance your Transcription workflow while saving costs and resources for all the HIM Directors, HIM Supervisors and Transcription Supervisors. The webinar will focus on how to leverage ETranscriptor, EzDictation as well as EzOutsourcing options to make smart and accurate decisions and to respond to challenges in a more efficient manner.
Hot Topics of Discussion will include:
-
Problems related to lack of real time integration between Dictation and Transcription systems.
-
Tracking and management of Dictation from the time the doctor picks up the phone to the time the report is signed.
-
Benefits of leveraging features of Microsoft Word that allows enhanced productivity on the transcriber end.
-
Completely open and customizable dictation system where everything from the prompts to the phone keys can be personalized.

Today’s healthcare organization must cope with extraordinary complexity. Rapid changes in the marketplace, complicated regulatory and compliance requirements, a greater demand for transparency, shrinking reimbursements and increasing demand for optimum care all contribute further to this turbulent environment.

Therefore, many are turning to enterprise BI solutions.
