Dictate.it Announces Three New Contract Wins

The UK`s leading supplier of digital dictation, speech recognition and
outsourced transcription services to the medical sector, Dictate.it, today announces three new contract wins, bringing the total number of NHS Trusts the company works with to 27, covering over 25,100 beds. Dictate.it`s patient digital dictation platform has been selected by Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust and Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital NHS foundation Trust.

Dictate.it is the largest provider of medical transcription, digital dictation and speech recognition services to NHS Trusts. The company has won 17 of the last 47 contracts for dictation and transcription services put out to tender by the NHS, placing it well ahead of its nearest competitor, which has won seven.

Mark Miller, Managing Director, Dictate.it commented on the contract wins:

"This is a significant move from tape-based to digital dictation systems, enabling these Trusts to improve the quality of care they offer patients, through faster, more efficient and more cost-effective data management processes. At the same time they will be reducing data backlogs and be better able to comply with legal requirements for document turnaround times."

Dictate.it`s complete workflow management platform will be deployed across Derby and Barking, Havering and Redbridge Trusts, which between them have more than 2,880 beds. Basildon and Thurrock have opted to significantly reduce the cost of transcribing dictated records by adopting Dictate.it`s outsourced transcription services.

The Dictate.it workflow system specifically addresses the medical sector`s stringent requirements for confidentiality, security, accuracy and reliability. Correct information becomes quickly available at the point of need, helping eliminate admin and improve healthcare. Devised in association with Trusts, Dictate.it`s solutions are the result of close analysis of their complex operational needs. The solutions allow Trusts to refine and improve their transcription and document-management processes, delivering efficiency, improvements and cost savings.

Mark Miller continues:

"Our solutions are aimed at reliable document generation, which delivers proven time and 40 per cent savings on admin costs. Dictate technology enables efficiency in both the clinical and administrative units, which results in better front line treatment with secretaries able to provide better front line service."

Dictate.it`s service is further backed by its recent ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications. These awards recognise that Dictate.it has the highest standards in terms of information security and the quality of service it provides.
