By integrating state-of-the-art technologies and expert services, we collaborate with our clients to provide customized risk management solutions in support of their overall corporate compliance initiatives, as well as the strengthened requirements mandated by HIPAA as a result of the new HITECH Act.

When assessing solutions that can be quickly and cost-effectively incorporated into your corporate risk management plan, be sure to consider the potential that fully-dictated reports can provide in reducing liability exposure.
An Important Risk Management Solution
THE IMPORTANCE OF FULLY-DICTATED REPORTS CANNOT BE OVERSTATED:
Fully-dictated reports are now considered an important risk management solution. As the vast majority of patient-physician encounters continue to be best served by the dictation-transcription process, we are already seeing the pendulum start to swing – away from point and click charting and back toward the use of fully-dictated reports.
- Accelerate your accounts receivable – fully-dictated reports contain the majority of physician-attested information and are used as the primary source for reimbursement and proof of service.
- Physicians’ preferred method of documentation – patients get better records when physicians are free to dictate a narrative, not constrained by templates.
Narrative dictation and transcription are an essential component required to satisfy the “meaningful use” criteria for stimulus package incentives – through our state-of-the-art transcription platform that provides an HL7 report delivery interface, we can produce “discrete data” abstract reports to help you qualify for stimulus rewards.
- Narrative dictation and transcription are an essential component required to satisfy the “meaningful use” criteria.
- Increase physician-patient time – dictated reports correspond intuitively to the physician’s usual work habits and workflow and have been proven to save valuable physician time.
- Ensure consistent, complete and accurate documentation of care encounters – our pool of highly skilled transcriptionists and medical editors are trained to identify discrepancies in reports that help improve patient safety and prevent medical errors.
LMT is HITECH-ready! Contact us today to schedule a complimentary organizational risk management assessment (HITECH/HIPAA Gap Analysis) – and to learn more about our premier transcription services and state-of-the art transcription platform.
