Secure file transfer service key for full medical digital dictation

To further save time, many medical professionals choose to outsource the transcription of digital dictation audio files to a third-party service. Outsourced transcriptionists handle the work of converting an audio file to text, while boasting a short turnaround time.

However, when sending audio files containing personal health information to transcription services, medical professionals must ensure they adhere to HIPAA requirements. Utilizing a secure file transfer service, such as Novusfiles, is one way that's most recommended by experts.

These services transmit dictation files to and from healthcare professionals while relying on encryption to fully protect patient information. In fact, the Novusfiles services provides the same level of encryption used by banks and government agencies. According to HIPAA, all health information must be encrypted when sent over an open network.

Also, healthcare professionals have found secure file transfer solutions easy to use because there is no software to download and no software fees.

Doctor's have full control over the files they send with the ability to add notes to each or mark urgent files to ensure they are returned in a timely manner.
