Sample solutions

Small office mobile user: CaseScribePDA w/ PDA

  • Dr. A is a dentist, in solo practice.  He has selected CaseScribePDA, with a PDA and a wireless network in his office, so he can dictate at point of patient encounter.  He has 1 SpeakerID, and edits his transcriptions himself, at the end of the day in the office, or later on at home.

  • Dr. B. is an internist, in solo practice.  He selected CaseScribePDA, as he's more comfortable with holding a dictation device in his hand.  He has 1 SpeakerID, and has a transcriptionist on staff who edits his transcriptions (she uses a headset to listen to the audio files as needed), then inserts them in the EMR system.

  • L. G. is a real estate agent, and works out of her home office.  She selected CaseScribePDA with a PDA to use while on site, viewing properties, and at home, to create listings.
Small office desktop user: CaseScribePC w/ headset

  • F. L. is an attorney in solo practice.  He chose CaseScribePC with a headset, as most of his dictating is done sitting at his desktop PC.
Traveling mobile professional: CaseScribePDA w/ PDA phone

  • M. W. is an executive, who frequently travels.  He chose CaseScribePDA with a PDA phone.  He uses his PDA phone as his mobile phone, and to dictate, check his email and calendar, schedule appointments, and access the web; he also has on his PDA phone: a calculator, address book, and other productivity software.
Group practice (multi-user): CaseScribePDA w/ shared PDAs.  Or, CaseScribePC w/ headsets for each user and editor.

  • Dr. C. has a radiology group practice, with 11 radiologists on staff (some part-time, some full-time).  He selected CaseScribePC, with headsets for each doctor, as the most affordable way to do dictations at each doctor's desk.  He also has 3 persons on staff who edit transcriptions and insert them into their RMS system; they also do billing and other office paperwork.  Dr. R. uses CaseScribePDA with a PDA phone for himself, as he frequently dictates at other medical locations where he's consulting, or instructing.

  • Dr. D. has 40 doctors on staff, in 5 office locations.  He chose CaseScribePDA with 15 PDAs shared across 5 offices, each with a wireless network.  Administrative staff in each office edits the transcriptions, submits them for continual training, and adds them to the patient record.  Dr. D saves money by using his existing staff as editors.
Hospital

  • Hospital A has implemented CaseScribePDA for their pathology department.  There are 25 doctors who share 15 PDAs.  Their transcriptions are edited by the hospital transcription staff, and inserted into the hospital MIS system.  As the transcriptionist are editing, instead of complete transcribing, they are able to process 3 times the number of transcriptions in a day.
Transcription Service

  • Mary O. runs a transcription service with 6 transcriptionists currently servicing 21 clients, each averaging 10K lines/month, for a total of around 200K lines/month.  Each transcriptionist works from home, and has their own PC, headset, and footpedal.  Clients submit their dictations digitally, and the transcriptionists use CaseScribePC to submit them for automated transcribing to the CaseScribe servers.  Each transcriptist can then edit their client's transcriptions online through the CaseScribe portal, and then either email the final transcription to the client, or insert it into the client's records management system.  Since implementing CaseScribe's automated transcription as a tool to increase productivity, the 7 transcriptionists have doubled their output.


Can I use both CaseScribePDA and CaseScribePC?

Yes.  With CaseScribe, each professional's SpeakerID is allowed multiple dictation devices.  So, if you want to use a headset while sitting at your desk, and a PDA at your office, we can do it.  Or maybe you'd like to start with a headset, and then add a PDA phone later on.  However, because each dictation device's audio qualities will be different, voice training will need to be completed for each dictation input device before you can submit dictations on it to be transcribed.
