Methodology:

Our production setup is designed in such a way as to ensure minimum hassles for the dictating doctor and yet provide him with accurate and timely transcribed output. Our unit goes into action as soon as a doctor transfers his recorded voice to our FTP server. The file so transferred to our server is then downloaded in India at pre designate time using ISDN and lease line connectivity. We have full redundancy to overcome any communication channel failure.
The files so downloaded are then distributed to the trained Medical Transcriptionists using our proprietary software which takes care of all the MIS handling from allotment of work to tracking of a job by the editors and quality control supervisors and finally docking the transcribed report back to the same FTP server. The initial output of our Medical transcriptionists is handled by our QA and senior QC staff to ensure that the transcribed report leaving our facility is 98.5% accurate as per AAMT guideline. We also customize our outpatient reports to suit the convenience of individual doctor. We can transcribe the documents into any format that you are convenient with, like MS Word, Word Perfect for DOS, Rich Text Format etc.
The doctor can then pick up the file from the server or we can arrange to send a fax or email either to the doctor or to the hospital as per instructions. Our extensive backup system ensures a virtually fail safe operation. All electronic data is backed up regularly to cater to any eventuality. Our Medical Transcriptionists are continuously guided by senior doctors and experts from the field. They are also updated about the latest trends in the medical field including the new drugs and procedures. All this and a very well equipped library enable our transcriptionists to deliver transcribed reports at par with the American Standards.

Security and Confidentiality

Security and confidentiality of data is of utmost importance and we are committed to providing solutions that are compliant with all the applicable laws and regulations set by various healthcare agencies like HIPAA and HCFA.
We have in place specific technical and physical security features for data system components, verification of authorized users, control-access, data integrity, and backup/recovery to ensure availability and reliability.
We have 128-bit SSL encryption technology that has facilitated secure web-based data retrieval. All the access points to medical records are being identified and authenticated by Username and Password. All the servers have Firewalls installed to prevent unauthorized Internet interception and have latest anti-virus software on every server to protect against Internet viruses. Other measures include restricting usage of data storage media viz. floppy disks and CD's to ensure confidentiality of information. All the employees are required to sign "Confidentiality Agreement" which addresses the issue of leakage of patient or any other information.
