| Number 24, March 2004 BUSINESS SOLUTIONS Custom Speech USA has provided a pathology group near Spokane, WA with digital dictation system for "hands-free" dictation, and recently upgraded the system to support bar coding from specimen labels. Audio is dictated into a microscope-mounted or gooseneck extension microphone, and recorded by CustomMike™ sound recorder and driver. Record, playback, and pause are controlled with a standard 3-position foot pedal using the CustomMike driver. DictatePro™ bar code feature was later implemented, allowing the dictating pathologist to record specimen number with each dictation. Because the group is considering upgrade to speech recognition, noise canceling Sennheiser and InSync microphones were purchased. Market Partner AVS is continuing implementation of dictation and transcription system using Command!™ workflow manager for neurology practice in northern Virginia. Market Partners AEC Solutions and New World Creations have recent sales of acWAVE™ audio conversion tool. acWAVE has been a popular choice for transcription companies, medical offices, and others needing to convert Sony or Olympus audio files in batch to mp3, wma, or other compressed audio formats.

"There's no question that a medical transcriptionist's job is important
to the entire health care system. But could a medical transcriptionist
(MT) be held legally responsible for a patient's injuries due to inaccurate
reporting? Should MTs look into buying insurance to protect
themselves? Yes, according to Robert A. Zielke, attorney and counselor
at law. MTs can be sued for negligent reporting, Zielke said at his
American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT) 2003 session . . . . "
