How are reports transcribed?
The reporting component of the teleradiology software allows the radiologist to dictate a report for later transcription. These functions are connected to email, allowing each person in the chain to receive an email when something is waiting for their attention. In practice, the radiologist dictates the report, then changes the study status to Dictated. An email is generated to the transcriptionist. The transcriptionist enters the web reporting access, types the report, changes the status to preliminary, then sends the report back to the server. The radiologist gets an email alerting that the transcription is complete, and marks the report as Final. The initial dictation is saved on our servers as a sound file. Foot pedal actuation is available for the transcriptionist to allow easy control while typing.
