Going digital - HIPAA questions - Finally!
Posted: Sep 27, 2014
Hi,
I have 2 small local doctors that have been using tapes for dictation. We are going to switch to digital, and I want to be sure I am HIPAA compliant sending and receiving the work.
I am looking for recommendations for encryption and how you are transferring the dictation files and report files back and forth.
I saw MyDictation which seems reasonable, anyone using this?
I have been researching on in the internet, and there seem to be a lot of options, so I appreciate any input on what is being used and the cost.
Thank you !
One Suggestion - nn
[ In Reply To ..]I work on a prn basis for a lady in OR, and she will send me the voice files using MEO encryption software from NCH (same company as ExpressScribe). She provided me with a password, and when I receive the files I decrypt them using the password she provided. When I am done with the typed reports, I do the same thing. Encrypt them with the samee password and send them. So far, there has been no charge. You get the little popup but I just tell them it is for home use.
Thank you!! I will check this out for sure. - :) nm

Oct 29, 2009
Hi, I need a quick check on HIPAA rules. With respect to the health care debate, I want to write to my senator, etc., about a situation with a patient I transcribed on. The only info. I intend to give is that the patient was a: Russian immigrant, on welfare and receiving Medicaid benefits--when he should not have. He and his "sponsor(s)" was responsible for his care and living expenses. Further, I transcribed a note in which the doctor said that this patient wanted to re-sched ...

Digital Recorders
Jan 14, 2010
I have a physician that wants to swith to digital recorder so that he can download the dictations onto the computer and send them to me (via e-mail I'm assuming) then I will type them in Word and e-mail them back to him. I've used Express Scribe before to listen to reports using foot pedal too and typing them in Word. Does anybody know if I can still use that software to listen to the reports and how I would get them from my e-mail to the software? Any informati ...

This company expects the impossible out of their workers while accepting horrible quality audio. First, you have a recruiter calling and praising your qualifications (not to mention taking a 5 part transcription test) and then when you decide to accept their job offer, they put you on an okay audio quality account, but then the 2nd week rolls around,( you are in a different account) and you find yourself replaying the audio and struggling to understand in the midst of static and other ...

ADVICE NEEDED RE: GOING DIGITAL
Jun 21, 2011
Not sure if I have the correct board, but I am looking for advice on how to get my doctors to go digital. I currently transcribe for a small group of doctors who use tapes. I am trying to figure out an inexpensive way to get them to go digital. It has to be a relatively user friendly method since they are very busy and will not want to take the time to learn all kinds of new stuff. They also will not want to spend a lot to convert to digital. I currently have ExpressScribe, so I know t ...

I work in a small cancer center with three dictating doctors. We are still on microcassette tapes, believe it or not! We just got a new doctor who really wants digital (I do, too).

However, I've researched a little bit about ExpressScribe, GearPlayer, and Phillips equipment. My main goal is to get it ...

Not to mention getting stuck with a crap schedule. Seriously MQ? Hey MTs out there, If you are thinking about testing "up" to MME, DON'T. Harder work + more responsibility is not rewarded here. I feel scammed. But then again, we are all scammed with the junk pay for editing ASR. Whoever dec ...
