Template-based Transcription (TbT)

With patient volumes increasing and reimbursement rates declining, the Template-based Transcription (TbT) will give you more time for your patients, saves you money and provide you professional medical reports.

This process enhances your convenience by increasing chart accuracy and minimizing dictation time and overall cost. We will initially customize a template. This enables you to dictate changes to the template. As a result you will be charged only for the information entered in the template.

With TbT, physicians provide their standard templates with normal values. E.g. Procedure Notes, Injection Notes. Physician don’t have to change their usual method of working. With combination of both, it will increase the physician’s productivity and reduce the cost of transcribed note. Physician can simply dictate the changes to the template and we take care of the rest.
