Why the younger generation should learn to dictate.

We hear it all the time from our younger customers when it comes to digital dictation- "I just type everything myself- it's quicker". 

As technology has entered the mainstream, with nearly every household having one or more computing device, young business professionals, attorneys and physicians are far more comfortable in front of a keyboard than ever before.  The result has been a reluctance to learn how to dictate and delegate.

In realtiy, most people have rudimentary typing skills and would greatly benefit by delegating document creation to the medical transcriptionist or legal secretary.  If you bill more per hour than you pay your typist, it is a mathematical fact that delgating will increase profit.  I have yet to see the firm or practice where that is not the case.

As we implement technology into firms and medical practices, often we start with the more experienced employees who have spent years dictating with cassette based technology.  Once the system is in place and the user is comfortable, we begin to add productivity tools, such as remote FTP file transfer and speech recognition such as Dragon Legal, or Dragon Medical.

Without fail, all users and colleagues are amazed when they see words spoken into a voice recorder, such s the Philips DPM-8000, sent automatically to a remote location, and arrive typed and ready for a quick edit.  This usually results in the whole firm or practice converting to digital technology in a hurry.

All businesses today are faced with administrative challenges that can quickly take a busy attorney or doctor away from what they were trained to do.  After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on post secondary education, why would a new graduate want to spend time typing documents or clinical notes?

Setting up a digital solution is not only quick and painless, it is very inexpensive when compared to the immediate gains in productivity.

We are always available for a quick chat about the newest technology, and how it will fit into your daily workflow.  Remember, just like you - we are experts in our field.
