New Dictation Solution Saves Physicians Time and Money

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 30, 2008 – Charlottesville, VA, PocketMed®, a leader in mobile charge capture at the point-of-care, today announces the launch of PocketDictation, a straightforward and easy-to-use dictation solution designed to save US physicians valuable time and money.

PocketMed® is offering PocketDictation in collaboration with Audacity Audio and Iris Medical Services.  The dictation software will be provided and supported by Audacity, and the voice data will be collected, transcribed and returned to the doctor by Iris.

PocketDictation complements PocketMed®’s existing PocketBilling© software, which allows doctors to capture and code their billable charges at the point-of-care.  Both PocketBilling© and PocketDictation reside on physicians’ mobile devices, making their administrative duties simpler to accomplish, faster to complete, and cheaper to achieve.  Doctors having both solutions on their mobile devices will have an intuitive and easy-to-use one stop solution for solving their paperwork problems.

Dr. Scott Strayer, Founder and CEO of PocketMed®, says, “As a physician, I want to be able to conveniently dictate what I need directly into my mobile device, and have my dictation transcribed and returned to me fast and at low cost.”  He adds that, “PocketDictation does all this for physicians, and will help to streamline practice management.”

Fred Clark, Founder of Audacity Audio, notes, “We believe that Audacity’s software is among the best in the industry, and each one of our customers receives personal attention to ensure that they can maximize the benefits of state-of-the-art mobile dictation.”  Vineeth Chemparathy, Founder of Iris Medical Services, adds, “The fast turn-around and competitively priced transcription services which PocketDictation offers, will mean that users have a simple, effective dictation solution literally at their fingertips; and optional EMR-based delivery effectively gives users an electronic record.”

Physicians may contact Fred Clark on 954-229-5050 ext. 77 in order to get set up.  Instructions for downloading and signing up for PocketDictation are also available on the PocketMed®, Iris or Audacity websites, at www.pocketmed.com, www.iris-llc.com or www.audacityaudio.com.
