Did you know Automatic Concurrent Review (ACR) provides the option to queue documents for all users in a User type or an individual MT into QA for review?

The ACR feature can automatically place work into a QA Queue by User type or individual MT. The review queue can be filtered by Site, Worktype, and Provider. The ACR Filter can be set to queue samples by percentage from 5 to 100%, and set the Max Samples (Per Month).

To setup ACR, first enable the ACR option on the site and then set the ACR filters for the User type or MT to be placed into QA for review.

To enable ACR on a site:

  1. From TextSystem Explorer, right-click the site and select Edit site profile.
  2. From the Concurrent Review tab, select Enable Automatic Concurrent Review.

    ACR_1_1

  3. Click OK.

To set the ACR Filters for the User type or MT:

  1. From TestSystem Explorer, right-click User type or Transcriptionist.
  2. For either User Type or Transcriptionist, select Edit User Type or Edit Transcriptionist and select QA settings.

    ACR_1_2a

    ACR_1_2

  3. From the Edit User Types or Edit QA Settings dialog, click Enable Automatic Concurrent Review, and click Add.

    ACR_1_3

    OR

    ACR_1_3b

  4. On the Define QA Filter dialog, click Automatic Review, if it is not already checked.
  5. ARC_1_4

    NOTE:  This defined example filter is set to place 5% of all Worktype 8 - Progress Note from Site 116 into ACR with a maximum number of samples of 10 reports per month. ACR can be set for individuals or all users in a selected User type.

  6. In the Type area, select the type of documents to QA:
    • Created Documents
      OR
    • Reviewed Documents
  7. In the Filter On area, select:
    • Site
    • Worktype
    • Provider, by clicking Choose
  8. In the Sampling area, select:
    • Sample Size (%)
    • Max Samples (Per Month)
  9. Click OK to apply the filters.

Did you know you can use the Back Reference Job ID to get the original Job ID for a dictation job if it was dictated on a different DESS VoiceSystem?

If a VoiceSystem dictation job was created on a different DESS VoiceSystem and transferred using Digital Job Transfer (DJT), you can use the Back Reference Job ID to find the original Job ID on another DESS VoiceSystem.

The Back JobID is an output column option for any DESS VoiceSystem Job Lister report.

To find the Back JobID:

  1. Launch the DESS Voice System Job Lister application and log in.
  2. Once logged in, modify an existing report or run a quick report.
  3. BackReference_2_1

  4. From the Output tab, select the Back JobID in the Display list.
  5. Click the left arrows button to add Back JobId to the Available list.
  6. NOTE: For telephone dictations only, you can add the D. Machine output column to provide the name of the original system where the dictation job was created. The Flags output column also contains a specific flag indicating the DESS VoiceSystem where that the job was transferred.

  7. Run the report (if it is not a quick report).
  8. BackReferences_2_2

    The DRC flag indicates that the job was received via DJT.

    NOTE: This example displays "IMPORTED" for the D. Machine because these sample jobs were not dictated via telephone.

Click the play button on the following eTIPS video image for a brief demonstration on how to access and select the Back JobID.

Did you know that the Transaction History reports for EXS Administration allow you to monitor all site, user, or system-wide EXSpeech related transactions?

The EXS Administration reports are new to EXVoice version 8.x. These new reports let you monitor the status and operation of EXSpeech in clearer and accurate manner than previous report versions.

The Transaction History group is composed of several different reports.

  • Recognition – This shows successful recognitions on the system.

  • Transcoding – Transcoding occurs typically for users in collection as they are gathering audio and documents prior to Adaptation and Fluency runs.

  • Adaptation – Shows any adaptation runs that have been recently completed on the system.

  • Fluency – As with Adaptation, shows any completed Fluency. An added function is also provided stating the result of the Fluency run in the Result String column, such as “Result: DRAFT”

  • Errors – This report provides information on any recognition errors generated by the system. All – This report will show all EXSpeech related functions and will return all the data as noted in the previous reports.

In all cases, the following information is provided on each report:

  • Type of process (Adaptation, Recognition, etc)
  • REW that executed the process
  • Jobid, if tied to a specific voice job, may also indicate a unique internal ID if tied to a process such as Adaptation or Fluency
  • Site number
  • Userid
  • Input type (phone, Olympus, etc)
  • Start date/time, end data/time and elapsed time in seconds
  • Result Code indicating Success or possibly an error code
  • Result String, typically provides additional detail on the given event

These reports can all be generated as a system wide overview of the processes in general. However, you can also restrict the report to site, userid, or a combination of both.

To generate a report:

  1. Log in to the VoiceSystem Explorer application as EXS Administration.
  2. Right-click Transaction History and select Filter.
  3. Enter the Site, the User, or both and click OK.
  4. Access the subreport you wish to use to restrict the results for the selected combination of criteria for the report. This allows a quick check on a given provider, or an overview of a given site.
