Arrendale TA+ Workflow and Products In Use:
“In 2009, we implemented the Arrendale Digital Dictation system which meant all audio files were now filed securely on a central server and efficiently transferred to the secretary for transcription. Once transcribed the document is reviewed by a clinician, electronically signed and automatically sent to our eCasenote; if required, a copy is automatically sent to the GP practice and patient via Arrendale software. Speak-EZ is the latest product which we are working AAI to pilot for Voice Recognition. This is a single application that can be used for both front end and back end voice recognition and then eSigning on same screen. Clinicians can see the text being created as they dictate into a template. This can then be eSigned, corrected or sent to the secretary for further information.”
David Seaton, Head of IT Services, Derby Burton NHS Trust, Derbyshire, UK.

Capturing dictation digitally is only the beginning. Additionally Arrendale supports and enhances Nuance’s Dragon speech recognition experience. Imagine you are away from your desk, making rounds and visiting patients. You create voice dictations from a smart phone or recorder throughout your rounds. Upon returning to your workstation and Arrendale’s Speak-EZ+ application, the day’s dictations are waiting as draft letters, having already been converted automatically by Dragon. You then review, edit and electronically sign in a single step, dramatically shortening the documentation cycle. With Speak-EZ+ GPs have the ability to “Bypass” the letter if more information is needed or to “Send to Transcription” for traditional typing by a medical secretary for those difficult cases or tight schedules. Because all Nuance Dragon functionality is performed in Speak-EZ+ , the voice file is captured and made available for listening or for later review.
Trusts using the Transcript Advantage (TA+) software platform maintain departmental autonomy with regard to letter appearance and delivery options while enjoying a searchable repository of all letters. Departments can be configured with a one-to-one relationship between physician and secretary or with specified typing teams for each specialty. GPs may sign their letters on smart phones or tablets, using Arrendale Mobile+ from the Apple or Google Play store, or on their PCs to increase efficiency and improve turnaround time.

“The installation of TA+ has been hugely beneficial at The County Hospital, enabling a faster turnaround time in the typing time and the secretaries much prefer this system to analogue typing. The clinicians have found it of great benefit to be able to view patient letters or listen to those dictated but not yet typed. The support from Arrendale has been marvelous and the Support Team are always friendly and polite and respond quickly to problem calls. It is great to know that they are on standby to help with any problems”
