While Dragon and point of care documentation is by far the preferred method of getting clinical work done…
In response to the transcription outage, Nuance, our vendor, has provided a transcription service called “eScription Lite.”
eScription Lite offers enough bandwidth that we can offer traditional dictation and transcription for H&P’s, Consults, Operative Notes and Discharge Summaries for all our providers.
Instructions on how to access are available here.
Some important notes to know:
- Enter the 10 digit account number or PT# …. (not the MR#) when dialing in to dictate. The account # starts with:
- LMC – 400XXXXXX BMH – 200XXXXXXX
PH – 100XXXXXXX RH – 5000XXXXXX
Rehab – 9000XXXXXX
- Templates are not available for any work types dictated over the phone… you will need to dictate the entire note. (To set up voice activated / Dragon templates within SmartChart please contact the Clinical Informatics team)
- Bayscribe, a temporary dictation solution for hospital surgical inpatients, will no longer be available for hospital (inpatient) dictation after Friday, 7/28/17. (Bayscribe will continue to be the MLHC platform for providers in the office setting.)
- eScription Lite may be used for both inpatient & outpatients for the four work types specified. Solutions to document other hospital outpatient work types are underway.
- Do not use eScription for patients with a 7000 account number (i.e. Rehab PT#). Check with medical records for appropriate documentation for those patients.
- If you do not know you transcription ID number please contact medical records and they will be able to retrieve it for you.
