62 staff using digital dictation solution provided by Abacus Systems
Lucena Clinic, the child and adolescent mental health service, run by Saint John of God Community Services Limited, has chosen WinScribe Digital Dictation to replace analogue dictation machines across six locations.
Abacus Systems won the tender to implement the solution which was installed on a pilot basis in December 2009. In January of this year, it was rolled out to additional in different clinics within the organisation, taking advantage of the WAN links between the clinics. 50 authors and up to 12 typists are now using the new digital dictation system that has given Lucena Clinic the opportunity to introduce a workflow management system.
“We have had excellent feed back from our users who are delighted with the improved audio quality and the transparency of the solution,” explains Paul Martin, administrative manager and responsible for Finance and HR at the clinic.
“We can now manage our dictation requirements in a way that was not possible before, switching work from one location to another to allow us to cover absences. Our users are very happy with the solution which has exceeded our expectations.”
