IPHONE + EMR & Techie Transcription Company = Document Marriage System!!!

Online, October 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - In a development that could have far reaching implications in how physicians access their patient records and also how they go about dictating, a Californian based medical transcription solutions provider iSource, completed the integration of the iPhones belonging to oncologists of a certain cancer hospital in Baltimore Maryland with the hospital's recently revamped Oncology EMR last week.

The result was the culmination of a project undertaken by iSource to integrate and modernize the hospital's transcription platform into one single unit, while increasing the efficiency and security of medical archives retrieval many times. The oncologists will now be able to dictate from any of their 6 centers and the dictations would fall into a Central Platform using whatever available Internet Connectivity (either Wi-Fi or 3G or normal broadband).

With the enforcement of the HIPAA security rule, the EMR and EMR support services market has seen a tremendous amount of growth over the last one year; and hospitals such as the one described above have been scrambling to bring their medical archiving in line with federal regulations without comprising on efficiency and multi-functionality. The linking of advanced PDA's and high-end mobile phones such as iPhone with an EMR by companies such as iSource have truly made possible a marriage of sorts between the various EMR's and dictation capturing systems available in the market today; which can be aptly termed as Document Marriage System.
