ZyDoc Medical Transcription Enhances the Practice Fusion EMR

ZyDoc Medical Transcription (http://www.zydoc.com/index.htm)announced today it has formed a business alliance with Practice Fusion, Inc. ZyDoc will offer transcription services that are tightly integrated with Practice Fusion's EMR. Both systems are ASP based and will work from any Internet-connected computer.

With no change in work habits, doctors can dictate from any telephone to the TelDoc system or utilize handheld professional digital recorders. The dictation and records are tracked on the ZyDoc TrackDoc Internet site, similar to UPS packages, and are transcribed and returned within the required turnaround time as quickly as two hours. The highly accurate transcribed reports are available on the web and after review are automatically inserted into the Practice Fusion EMR system as part of the specific patient record.

Practice Fusion is a free, on-demand, no-risk Electronic Medical Records service. The solution for independent practitioners launched on October 23, 2007 with over 700 physicians. Practice Fusion's application is available over the Internet and does not require any licensing or hosting fees. Ryan Howard, CEO of Practice Fusion, explains that "Many EMR companies have added dictation to their products as an afterthought to increase user acceptance. Practice Fusion and ZyDoc have collaborated through the HL7 data standards to allow seamless integration of the transcription service and EMR output delivered from day one."

"This alliance offers doctors substantial advantages over current solutions," according to James Maisel, M.D., Chairman of ZyDoc. "From the doctor's perspective, data entry into an EMR is time consuming and not their area of expertise. When the patients fail to conform to the EMR template-based systems, data entry with repetitive clicks can be tedious and often take more than 10 minutes for a typical encounter. In contrast, dictation of comprehensive detailed encounters allows more efficient documentation within two minutes at 140 words a minute versus slower typing or handwriting speeds of 20 words per minute. With decreased reimbursements, physicians are striving to increase the number of patient encounters daily. Dictation remains the fastest and most detailed way to document the patient record. It remains the preferred method of data capture for physicians and is utilized by virtually all high-volume physicians."
