1.  What features are covered under STATscript Online?
STATscript Online offers a total transcription solution, offering a file routing platform and transcription service. The web enabled file routing platform helps you to have better control and to efficiently manage the flow of the audio and document files in the system. This platform covers many features both on the doctor side as well as the MT side. On the doctor side, the system is able to capture audio files dictated on several modes such as digital recorders, toll free telephone dictations, PC dictation, in house dictation system, send e-mail notifications, archive both the audio and transcribed files for contractual time period, and retrieve the files based upon various criteria. It also has file status tracking, e-signature, fax/e-mail, internal messaging, and several online report generation options.

On the MT side, the system has similar options to those available on the doctor side, except for that of e-signature.

2.  What is meant by "STATscript services are hardware and software independent"?
STATscript Online uses web-enabled software, which does not require any specific hardware or software at any user's machine. Users only need a browser (Internet Explorer version 5.0 and above) and an Internet connection to access STATscript Online.

3.  Do transcriptionists need to purchase any special audio player to play the audio files? Where do I transcribe, do I need to follow any specific software or template?
STATscript Online is the only web-based platform on which audio and document files move from the doctor to transcriptionist and back again seamlessly, resulting in no change to your current transcription procedures. Also, you do not need any special audio player or software/template for transcription, as STATscript Online can be easily integrated with your platform (if any). Audio files can be picked up from your doctors' machine, delivered on your platform and transcribed reports can be picked from your platform and delivered back to the doctors.

4.  What Internet speed is required to access STATscript Online?
STATscript Online works on a thin client technology where all processing takes place on STATscript servers, before being processed and sent to the user's machine. This means that there is no need for high-speed Internet connectivity at your end. Many of our clients function with a 28kbps dial-up connection without difficulty.

5.  What dictation modes are available with STATscript Online?
All the possible digital dictation modes ranging from toll free number to hand held recorders and PDAs are available for your doctors to dictate on STATscript Online. Direct PC-based dictation systems with advanced built-in scanners are also available for hands free dictation.

6.  How do the audio files get from the doctor to me, the transcriptionist?
Within 5 minutes of a doctor's dictation, the doctor's audio file is available on STATscript Online for transcription. You receive an email notification of the upload with details such as doctor name, audio file name and type, length of the audio file and stat notification. You can login to STATscript Online with your assigned ID and password from any Internet connected PC and work on any file.

7.  How secure is Internet transmission on STATscript Online?
STATscript Online uses the same 128-bit encryption technology for file transfer that banks and other financial institutions use to transfer sensitive credit card information, so that all transmissions and processing are secure.

8.  What are online records?
STATscript Online stores audio files i.e. dictations and transcribed reports, online for the contractual period as per doctors' requirements. They can be retrieved online using your ID and password. This eliminates the need to maintain a paper copy of records since they can be retrieved, edited, printed, faxed or emailed online.

9.  What are the initial setup charges? Are there any additional hardware purchases?
There is no set up fee. You pay as you go with no minimum billing or contractual term commitment. There are no hidden charges whatsoever. There is no hardware or software purchase needed for using STATscript's service, other than an Internet enabled PC and telephone for toll-free dictation.

10.  What savings can I expect by using STATscript services?
With STATscript Online, you can expect to reduce turn-around times by 20% to 50% and reduce costs by 30% to 50% compared to traditional file-routing methods. Please email our sales department at sales@STATscriptOnline.com for more information.

11.  In what ways are STATscript services different from its competitors?
STATscript Online is designed according to a hospital or physician practice size and requirements. It is not a "one size fits all", but a very flexible, customized and economical solution. As your business grows, you can take advantage of more customized services as per your requirements. It is also a completely web-based solution, so there are no hardware or software purchases. We also provide you with our web-based training, FAQs, user guides and user manuals when you sign up with us. With the help of these materials you will become thoroughly aware of the entire system, which will help you reduce your training costs.

STATscript Online is designed in modules so that more advanced features can be added (at no extra cost) depending upon our client's unique needs. The basic feature of this structure, unlike other companies, which sell the same services to big and small companies alike, is that it is customized to your needs.
