SoftMed Advances Internet Enabled Transcription Technology |
SoftMed Systems, Inc., a
leading provider of core healthcare information technologies, announced it has
successfully deployed its speech-enabled platform that includes patent-pending
technologies. This integrated technology provides auto formatting and
intelligent context interpretation of speech recognized output that boosts
productivity of computer aided medical transcription and provides higher
quality documentation.
"This integrated typing and editing technology further enhances SoftMed's
leading transcription, dictation and speech recognition systems," said Don
Segal, CEO of SoftMed Systems. "Our advanced solutions are flexible and
leverage existing workflow to enable increased productivity that results in
cost savings for healthcare facilities."
This new functionality was achieved by integrating SyncStream(TM)
technology, which was acquired by SoftMed when it purchased Expresiv
Technologies, Inc. The Expresiv acquisition also expands SoftMed's
transcription deployment options. SoftMed's dictation, transcription
production and speech recognition solutions, which have been recognized as top
industry solutions by MD Buyline and KLAS Enterprises, will now be available
on a consumption-based Application Service Provider (ASP) model or hosted at a
facility's site. The new ASP hosted model allows facilities to benefit from
SoftMed's industry-leading technologies without incurring any capital expenses
or maintenance responsibilities. It also extends SoftMed's solutions into a
new arena: the physician office. SoftMed's solutions will be available to both
acute and primary care providers, helping the healthcare community better
address patient needs across the continuum of care.
SoftMed's new advanced speech recognition and editing solutions have been
successfully deployed in over 30 facilities with proven results in producing
accurate, fully formatted documents. Facilities benefit from decreased
turnaround times, reduced transcription costs, and increased transcription
quality and productivity. SoftMed's customer base now exceeds 2,000 healthcare
providers.
As part of the acquisition, SoftMed will continue to maintain the software
development and client support presence currently located in Austin, TX.
SoftMed is headquartered in Silver Spring, MD, and has offices in Folsom, CA
and Akron, OH. |
