eTIPS 

Did you know that configuring a Transcription User's profile to automatically load the next dictation can increase his or her productivity?

Dictations are pooled to users for transcription and editing - this is configured on the VoiceSystem with pools and pool scripts.  By default, when a transcription user logs into Word Client or Enterprise Editor, these jobs will be downloaded automatically, but the user must select "Start New From Dictation" each time they wish to work on one of them.  The TextSystem provides a way to automatically load the next dictation job when the user completes a document so that user is not required to start the new dictation by manually choosing "Start New From Dictation."  This can save the transcriptionist valuable time when transitioning from one job to the next.

 

NOTE: The transcription user needs to log out of Word Client / Correction Client and back into the application before this change will take effect.

Did you know that you can print a complete list of all worktypes with their text descriptions from the VoiceSystem?

Particularly for systems that contain many sites and worktypes; the ability to print a comprehensive list of worktypes for a given site is an easy way to create a quick reference for yourself or others in your organization.  Additionally, if your computer is configured to support printing to a file, the file print can be emailed to others as an attachment.  

Follow these steps to print worktypes and their descriptions.

1. Start the DESS VoiceSystem Explorer application.
2. Expand the Site you are interested in.
3. Expand Id Field Matching.
4. Select the Field (1-6) used to denote worktypes for your system.  Typically this is Field 1.
5. On the Toolbar, click the Printer icon to print all items listed in the right pane.
    
     
    
6. Repeat steps 2 - 5 for any other sites you are interest in.

TIP: The ability to print field values and their descriptions is not limited to the worktype (Field 1) list.  You can repeat these same basic steps for any of the other fields (1 - 6).

Did you know that correct positioning of Header and Footer tags in TextSystem Document Templates is very important to system behavior?

 

Did you know that Enterprise Workstation (EWS) has several different Uniform Resource Locator (URL) Connections that can be used to Administer and check the System?

eTIPS Webinar 

Nuance is pleased to announce that our Nuance Healthcare Global Support team has developed a training program for our eTIPS Webinar attendees. The program, "Improving System Performance to increase Return on Investment," is designed to provide you with information about specific features, found in the Dictaphone Enterprise Speech System (DESS), that are proven to increase productivity in dictation, transcription, and management, thereby, improving return on investment. The program will be delivered via twelve one-hour eTIPS Webinar sessions beginning January 25, 2011, continuing monthly until December 20, 2011.
 
We are also excited to inform you that this program has been approved for 12 continuing education units (CEUs) for use in fulfilling the continuing education requirements of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).^* For each one-hour eTIPS Webinar session you complete, you will earn 1 CEU. If you attend the entire program (12 eTIPS Webinar sessions), you will receive a total of 12 AHIMA CEUs. All CEUs will be applied to the AHIMA Core Educational Content Area - Clinical Data Management.
 
This month's eTIPS Webinar, "Introduction to the DESS components and how they interact with third party systems," begins our first session of the training program. During this webinar, you will learn about each of the Dictaphone Enterprise Speech System (DESS) components and how these components work together within the DESS system. Learn about the many types of integrations and how the data is shared between the third party systems and DESS. You will also learn how to identify the integrations which are most appropriate to streamline your organization's DESS system.
