What are the unique benefits of the TA✚ platform?
- We include several speech recognition options within our platform to offer more workflow choices for each provider
- We archive speech rec voice files in a central, secure repository with traditionally transcribed voice files
- Our transcription platform includes an online grading module to score transcripts for improved transcript accuracy
- TA+ includes keyword searching of notes for pharmaceuticals, and diagnoses and medical terminology useful for audits, clinical trials and physician reference
- Our software enables assignment of work to a wide variety of MTSO partners for overflow, occasional or select shift transcription outsourcing
What if some of the providers in our practice want to use speech rec but other providers are not interested?
Our system, TA+, offers both methods. Dictators can swap between 1) front end speech rec workflow, 2) speech rec with editing by others, facility staff or an MTSO, or 3) traditional note creation by an MTSO all within the same platform. Our integrated system provides reporting of transcribed lines by providers if sites desire to invoice individual providers for transcription services.
How do Arrendale’s interface engine and HL7 consulting services ‘work’.
Arrendale has been providing interface engine software and services to healthcare systems and hospitals for over 20 years. We utilize VNA (vendor neutral architecture) to minimize cost and effort for the healthcare customer, the EHR vendor, and ourselves. In other words, our team modifies the interface messages to match the EHR system’s requirements. Our Support Center assists customers with day-to-day HL7 consulting and new interface design. For many sites it is more cost effective to outsource interface development and maintenance than to have an additional dedicated FTE to manage the incoming, outgoing, and internal HL7 traffic.
