Digital Dictation

TalkingPoint Digital Dictation replaces conventional cassette tapes in your practice. Delays and risks from lost and damaged tapes are relegated to a thing of the past. Recordings are crystal clear, making them quick and easy to transcribe. A single mouse click allows GPs to capture patient details from the clinical system so they can be automatically transferred with the recording for easy identification. GPs can easily dictate, review and edit recordings that are then securely saved and instantly transferred to a secretary’s inbox for transcription. Using TalkingPoint Digital Dictation, letters can be ready for signing by the end of surgery. Secretaries can instantly access any recording, saving the time and hassle of endless tape-winding to find that “urgent dictation”.

Transcription work is easy to manage. TalkingPoint can automatically select the next most important recording to be typed, or the secretary can select from a customised display that includes priorities and automatically transferred patient details.

Automatic transcription

To further enhance your digital dictation solution, you can add TalkingPoint’s SpeechToText module to automatically transcribe recordings so they are ready to review instead of type. Typing times can be dramatically reduced as work is limited to listening to the recordings and making a few minor corrections.

Instant referral letters

For GPs who want to create and finish their own referral letters, without any secretarial intervention, TalkingPoint’s real-time speech recognition option is also available. TalkingPoint types-as-you-talk and drives the clinical system with simple voice commands that are far faster than using keyboard and mouse.

Improved medical notes

GPs who want to make the most of their system can use TalkingPoint’s real-time speech recognition to dictate their patient and practice notes. No longer keyboard bound, more comprehensive notes can be created within the limited patient consultation times available. TalkingPoint’s specialist GP vocabulary provides highly accurate recognition of special medical terms as soon as it is installed and continues to improve with use.

The resulting, more comprehensive, notes can be automatically copied into referral letters to minimise duplication and make it even easier to generate instant referrals.

Practice management

In addition to streamlining clinical processes, TalkingPoint can also speed up day-to-day practice management tasks such as e-mail handling, letter writing and many other computer orientated tasks.

TalkingPoint integrates with most popular clinical systems including EMIS, Vision, Torex and TPP Systm One. Patient details are automatically appended to recordings to save time and minimise clinical risk.  Medical notes and referral letters can be dictated in any order whilst simultaneously browsing the patient details stored in the clinical system. Finalised notes can then be automatically structured and transferred to the clinical system.

The TalkingPoint GP vocabulary delivers high accuracy as soon as it is installed. It already contains comprehensive medical terms essential for creating medical letters and notes, making it easy to get started and gain immediate productivity benefits from using speech recognition. TalkingPoint quickly adapts to each GP’s individual dictation style optimising accuracy as it is used.

When your practice is ready, you can extend your system without cost-penalty to efficiently employ speech recognition for those tasks where it can make a real difference.  Whatever your choice of TalkingPoint Modules, the enhanced workflow solutions that TalkingPoint provides ensure referral letters can be ready for signing at the end of surgery while patients’ details remain fresh in the mind.
