MedicalTranscription.com proudly brings you MT News. Our goal is to bring physicians and medical transcriptionists together with increased professionalism in health information management
Express Dictate Now on iPhone
In a move that will make it even easier for physicians to dictate and send voice files to transcription services, NCH and Apple have created a new application that will enable doctors to dictate directly into their iPhones.
Doctors will now be able to dictate at any time, even at home or while traveling, and then hit "send" to transmit the dictation to the transcriptionist. The new app, called "Pocket Dictate", is not only for the iPhone, but will allow physicians to record and send dictation from their PC, Mac, PocketPC, Palm, and SmartPhone.
"Pocket Dictate" is encrypted for HIPAA compatibility, and
although it is supposed to be available through Apple's App Store, I
was only able to find it through the NCH website.
