The Path of EMR Excess Leads To The Towers of Transcription Wisdom

Online, November 24, 2010 (Newswire.com) - In a time when finding an outsourced transcription provider with mastery over a couple of a EMR/EHR software is a herculean task, a Californian based firm iSource Inc has made it their agenda to gain expertise over as many EMR's as possible, so as to serve their diverse physicians/clinics/hospitals across the country. Giving highly accurate reports and faster turnaround times has always been the top selling points projected by most transcription firms. Even after there was a sea-change in the regulations controlling medical records keeping in the recent past; many firms have come up croppers when their clients wanted them to suggest an EMR solution which was compliant with the latest provision of the HITECH Act. Not so in the case of iSource, which has always been urging its clients to use EMR's, even much before the HITECH Act had seen the light of the day. iSource's unique tryst with EMR's stems from their own ongoing R&D work in transcription softwares for over 10 years now, the highlight of which was the creation and implementation of an EMR-like software, called RRACS at the behest of the Radiology Community, who required a compact online system for electronically viewing, editing, and e-signing their reports from anywhere. Thus EMR's awareness was always a part of the iSource work culture. Over the years iSource personnel have been trained in the implementation and usage of over 20 EMR's to serve its 100 odd clients across the breadth and width of the country. AllScripts e-MD, Medent, GE Centricity, Avatar, iKnowMed, HealthProbe, Practice Fusion, Medical Manager, NextGen, etc, you name it; it is likely that iSource would have offered support for it at some point in their history. Coupled with their highly skilled workforce of transcriptionists and Quality Analysts, who have always churned out error-free reports, it looks like iSource Inc might be one among a handful transcription players left standing after the HITECH Act is fully enforced and the transcription providers feel the ripple effect through their physician client base.
