3M Mobile Dictaton: Dictation on the Go

Dictation is a necessary but time-consuming job. While dictation software has made the task a whole lot easier, most still require that the physician be in front of a computer for the duration of the dictation. Of course, this is a big step up from the days when physicians had to send tapes off to a transcription service.

Still, many doctors are eager to find a way to multi-task their transcription. So it is no surprise that there are now there are several options for on the go dictation. Doctors can use systems like 3M’s Mobile Dictation software to dictate patient information whenever, wherever.

The 3M Mobile Dictation Software application is compatible with BlackBerry and Windows Mobile smartphones and it allows physicians to use their phones to capture and securely transmit digital dictation files for transcription. 3M built the Mobile Dictation Software with open architecture and it integrates with industry leading hospital dictation and transcription solutions, including 3M ChartScript Software and 3M VoiceScript Software.

The doctor can dictate on the fly and send it off for transcription all from one device. Plus, once the files are transcribed, they are available via the smartphone for the doctor to send out to a hospital information system, electronic medical record or practice management system.

Along with giving doctors the freedom to dictate patient notes on the go, the software also allows the doctor to view patient lists and display current patient information on the smartphone screen, saving time and freeing them to focus on patient care. Well aware of the privacy and security concerns 3M designed the software to run a secure, encrypted transmission over 3G cellular or Wi-Fi signals. The software includes a full range of security features. The software is not only HIPAA compliant but tailored to hospital-specific guidelines for encryption.

An additional feature is the always-on connectivity; no longer will the doctor have to find the time to synchronize the smartphones to a dictation system.
