This
is the most forward thinking of the Enterprise Solutions.
See the paper under Enterprise Solutions entitled "Incorporating
Schedules and Demographics in the Dictation Process".
It is the third method explained. This method requires a commitment
to deliver information via the web, but once that infrastructure
is in place, it is a pretty easy step. Read the following
paper for a greater understanding.
Interfacing
a Web-based Information Delivery System to the Audacity DVR
(Digital Voice Recorder) Pro Web Edition.
This
document describes a web based document and/or content delivery
system using the Audacity DVR Pro Web Edition. It describes
the target market, the individual pieces, and interfacing
the pieces together.
Audacity
is a PDA-based voice recorder application targeting the dictation
/ transcription market. The Audacity product line includes
several related components involved with recording the audio
file, transporting the file, transcribing the file, and managing
the process. Audacity Audio believes PDA-based dictation will
become very popular because it is small, mobile, and intelligent.
It enables a doctor or other mobile professional to easily
integrate dictation into their workflow.
Accurate,
detailed documentation is a growing requirement. The fastest
and best way to document an encounter is dictation. Audacity
Audio's goal is to make that process easier and more accurate.
Doctors
have a need for quick, easy access to patient records. The
ideal mechanism is access through a web browser. It provides
universal access from the office or hospital desktop, from
the home, from a hotel room and also from mobile devices like
PDA's and SmartPhones. The web servers can be interfaced to
disparate databases to provide real time access to a multitude
of information.
The
ideal workflow pattern for a doctor is to access a summary
patient schedule from a mobile computer (PDA or SmartPhone),
have access to all other patient information if needed, and
then be able to easily and accurately dictate additional documentation
with a click of a button. When he completes the dictation,
he hits a return button and returns to his patient list. That
technology is available now and is the crux of this document.
It integrates a current patient schedule with past patient
records and new documentation. It gives the doctor quick,
easy, universal access to patient information and provides
a familiar, easy way to add to that documentation. The patient
demographics, flows from the hospital database, gets embedded
into the WAV file, and is even displayed on the printed page,
automatically. The files are transferred to the transcriptionist
at the touch of a single button. The process is easy, automatic,
and accurate.
We
often hear the comment "Very nice technology, but getting
it to all work together would be a big project." Developing
the Audacity dictation application and related components
was a big project; developing a web-based information delivery
system is a big project; integrating the two together, is
easy.
The
first step is to provide a "Dictate" button in the
server application. When the doctor clicks "dictate",
the demographic information associated with that specific
patient is sent to the handheld. Usually the demographics
required is only two or three fields, for instance, the patient
name, the medical record number, and perhaps the chief complaint.
More could be sent based on the user requirements, but this
is typical. When the doctor is finished recording, he presses
a return button and is returned to his patient list.
Audacity
Pro Web provides a very powerful documentation application.
We would be happy to help with your solution.
