IQMax First to Deploy Medical Transcription On Palm OS

Healthcare providers and consumers to benefit from accurate,

cost-effective platform

Starting today physicians have a more accurate, cost-effective and time-saving option for professional medical transcription - IQSpeak digital dictation by IQMax.

Utilizing the Palm Pilot Operating System and HandEra handheld computing device, physicians may now dictate their patient records at the point of care, with the patient's name and correct information auto-populated in and transmit the information via the Internet, directly to their transcription company in a high-quality digital file.

"Transcription fees and transcription errors account for thousands of dollars in lost revenues per physician annually," said IQMax founder and CEO Paul Adkison. "By using IQSpeak, which automatically attach accurate patient demographics to the dictation file, we can forecast a significant reduction in lost revenue."

IQMax has been developing this transcription software over the past year, including a pilot program that was just concluded with Blue Ridge Bone & Joint in Asheville, NC. Blue Ridge Bone & Joint projects the IQMax solution will provide significant savings with less errors in transcription, more complete information for the billing process as well as save them from a great number of headaches associated with the manual processes they had to endure previously in medical transcription.

Physicians participating in pilot programs have been drawn to the device for its ease of use, voice quality, and the streamlined process inherent in the IQSpeak Application.

"Having my patient appointments in my coat pocket, and having their reference numbers and names automatically attach to my dictation file is invaluable," states Dr. Michael Goebel, a physician with Blue Ridge Bone & Joint. "I am confident that my notes are attributed to the correct patient, quickly and securely. Furthermore, though I am not a tech wizard, it took little to no time to master."
