Speech recognition and digital dictation firm Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions Group is showcasing Enterprise Workstation at this week's Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) meeting in San Diego. Enterprise Workstation brings together Dictaphone's EXSpeech recognition offering and Enterprise Express dictation, transcription, and report management system, according to the Stratford, CT-based vendor.
With Enterprise Workstation, users can select patients from a pick list, dictate reports on those patients, and have the reports converted to text immediately, Dictaphone said. The physician can then perform any editing and electronically sign the documents. Enterprise Workstation can also allow users to opt out of the software’s self-editing mode and have the document sent to a transcriptionist for completion, Dictaphone said.
In other news, Dictaphone has signed a multiyear technology licensing agreement with voice-compression technology developer Vianix of Virginia Beach, VA. Vianix's Managed Audio Sound Compression (MASC) technology allows high compression levels for storing and transmitting digital voice data, thus speeding the exchange of digital voice files over the network and Internet, according to Dictaphone.
Dictaphone has also signed a software licensing agreement with information management software firm Crystal Decisions of Palo Alto, CA. Crystal Decisions' Crystal Reports software will offer PowerScribe users increased flexibility in formatting recognized text, patient demographic information, and statistical workflow data in standardized reports, Dictaphone said.
