Transcription

PHNS’ mission is to revolutionize the medical transcription process by combining cutting edge technologies - digital voice recording, transcription work routing, and processing and billing tools - and deploy them as a secure, Internet-based service.

PHNS provides hospitals, physician groups and individual physicians with accurate web-based transcription services with improved turnaround times and at rates that can be 20-30% below generally prevailing market prices. In an era of managed-care-driven reductions in the earning potential of physicians, PHNS’ transcription services increase efficiency of workflow from dictation to distribution through an entirely automated and electronic platform.

At the beginning of a transcription relationship, PHNS will conduct an operational analysis of a hospital’s current situation along with current and projected needs. Based on this assessment, PHNS decides with the hospital on a project definition specifying what type of electronic format is preferred and the scope of work PHNS has to complete.

Unlike other transcription services, PHNS allows administrators to perform many of their own actions by managing users, accounts, workflow and reporting, all from a single PC with a management console. To facilitate the transcription process, PHNS offers a web-based tool for physicians to track results. Physicians can check the status of each report and keep track of progress of all transcription.

PHNS’ transcription services make physicians daily work-lives easier. Physicians can easily view, review and edit patient records, send emails to referring physicians and manage and store their personal records. Physicians have the ability to access the PHNS dictation system via touch tone telephone, a handheld digital recorder and a palm pilot. Additionally, they have access to a real time ADT interface to capture patient demographics, delivery of transcribed reports to facility via website, printer, fax or EMR. For the most part, transcribed reports are printed at a hospital, but PHNS transcription services allow you to print or fax copies to referring physicians from a web portal.

PHNS’ transcription services can help your facility achieve faster turnaround time with more consistency in performance, improved report quality and reduced costs across the system.
