Operations

Users are configured for one or more roles or profiles such as: author, listen-only, PC based listen-review, transcriptionist, and editor, Speech to Text editor local manager, local administrator or enterprise administrator / manager. All user and management access is available locally through your LAN or can be provided to remote locations via your WAN or the Internet.

The radiologist will interpret the images and create the report by using the phone and calling an 800 number. The report will display on the screen as it is interpreted, proof-read and sent to the patient's record. This feature offers the ability to scale the telephone dictation requirements in a cost effective and convenient way. Each dictation runs in a Store & Forward mode and transfers copies of recorded jobs to the main system via the LAN/WAN or high speed Internet connection as each job is completed. It can run independently from the main system providing an added level of redundancy for the authors in case the system would need to be down for repairs, updates or due to LAN/WAN/Internet
