Digitally dictated discharge correspondence delivered to GPs within 24 hours of a patient leaving hospital.
MedisecTRUST Digital Dictation is an integrated clinical correspondence solution that combines digital dictation with automated letter generation and delivery. It allows Trusts to dictate, transcribe, sign off and deliver clinical letters electronically in 24 hours. Watch a video to see how this works.
It digitises the entire correspondence process from the point the clinician activates the speech mic, to the point the letter is opened in the GP surgery.
As well as helping hospital Trusts to meet the NHS target for delivering discharge communications to GP practices within 24 hours, the technology also frees up medical secretaries and saves resources.
