HEALTHvision Teams with HealthScribe to Provide Outsourced Transcription Services for Physician Offices and Other Ambulatory Care Sites
HEALTHvision, Inc. (www.healthvision.com), a leading healthcare Internet company has selected HealthScribe, Inc. (www.healthscribe.com), a leading provider of outsourced medical transcription service to enhance its physician solution suite, CAREvision.
Under the terms of the agreement, HEALTHvision will offer physicians the ability to have their dictated patient reports transcribed by HealthScribe and securely delivered for on-line reviewing, editing, and signature within CAREvision. With HealthScribe, physicians receive timely, high quality transcribed reports, common on-line access and distribution of clinical data, and the ability to maintain current dictating methods. They also get back additional time in their day that can be spent on patient care. Future plans will permit physicians to dictate directly to their PDA devices. This will be offered as a solution in conjunction with the CAREvision suite. Today, most physicians are inundated with paper filled patient charts. HealthScribe's ability to digitally deliver high quality reports to CAREvision, will ultimately help physicians manage workflow and information.
"Seeing and caring for patients is a physician's top priority, and automating office management and operations is key to the entire process," said Scott Decker, CEO of HEALTHvision. "Integrating HealthScribe with CAREvision enables us to increase our service delivery with state-of-the-art Internet-ready capabilities."
Once dictated voice files are uploaded through a secure connection to HealthScribe, HealthScribe's network of experienced medical transcriptionists transcribe the reports with numerous quality control checks taking place throughout the process. HealthScribe conforms to all HIPAA (electronic Transfer and Security) regulations. Promised turn-around times range from 2 to 24 hours, which enables the physician's staff to encode documents and expedite the billing process.
"Our relationship with HEALTHvision will provide physicians an integrated information management tool for accessing their transcribed reports on-line for reviewing and signature," added Mike King, president and CEO of HealthScribe. "This unique process will help streamline physician workflow, reduce overhead costs, and provide more time for patient care."
