MedSpeech

e-Dict have partnered with MedSpeech from EuroMed Networks AB of Sweden, a Hospital Wide Digital Dictation Solution with “industry strength" Speech Recognition Speech Magic from Nuance embedded.

The solution is ideal for any Primary Care Trust, GP Practice and Private Health Care environment.

MedSpeech is a software product specifically designed for digital dictation in a healthcare environment. The software has been developed with focus on patient security, superior workflow and speed. It has the ability to support large volumes of dictations and simultaneous users. With more than 20,000 active users, MedSpeech, has become the most common system for digital dictation within the Swedish healthcare system. As a result the software is used in over 300 installations in Scandinavia and the UK.

MedSpeech presents the clinician with two different methods of dictation. One is digital dictation with transcription, the other is Speech Recognition. Speech Recognition converts the recorded dictation directly into text, eliminating the need for manual transcription. MedSpeech integrates the speech recognition capabilities of the Nuance Speech Recognition Systems technology SpeechMagic

USPs

Flexibility MedSpeech presents the user with two methods of dictation. Digital dictation with transcription and Speech Recognition which converts the recorded dictation directly to text, thus eliminating the need for manual transcription.

Connection To Hospital Information Systems MedSpeech easily integrates seamlessly into any medical system, passing patient data to MedSpeech to eliminate typing more than once.

High Security MedSpeech is based on Microsoft SQL-server with the focus on large volumes of dictations, yet still maintaining a high level of security and performance. This makes the system far more secure than traditional tape-based systems or local implementations of digital dictation.

User Friendly The interface is easy to use providing the author and transcriptionist the ability to prioritise and make additions and changes prior to transcription.

Speech Recognition Built on Nuance sound is converted into text in real time with every user having their own profile to better adapt to each users unique way of speaking. The user automatically "teaches" the software to better understand and interpret words and pronunciations. With SpeechMagic the world's leading medical vocabularies come ready to use.

Speech Recognition Benefits The time taken for information to be entered is greatly reduced and as soon as it is signed off, the dictation is sent into the system eliminating delays.

Flexibilty The user always has the choice as to whether to use Speech Recognition or transcription.

Easy Set Up of Authorisations Each user can have a unique authorisation to access different dictations. For example a transciptionist might be authorised to open and read dictations from several departments, whilst a doctor may only be authorised to listen to dications made by their department.

Manage Workload The advantage of several departments or hospitals using the same centralised system, is the ability to manage workload amongst a number of transciptionists.

Works In All Environments MedSpeech supports Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Terminal Server and Citrix
