(PRWEB) August 11, 2004 -- ZyDoc.com Corporation, a technology leader in automated medical documentation solutions, announced its support for the RSNA Research and Education Foundation as a Bronze Circle Member. The purpose of ZyDoc's unrestricted grant is to help the Foundation by funding its researchers. The Board of Trustees initiated the RSNA Exhibitor's Circle to identify the common interests and dedicated commitments that build bridges between clinical investigations and commercial innovations.

According to James M. Maisel, M.D., Chairman of ZyDoc, ZyDoc is honored to join the Foundation and help provide the opportunity to shape the future of radiology - to express ZyDocs support of research and our commitment to medical advancement. As a technology leader in medical informatics, speech recognition, transcription, and Internet-based Electronic Medical Documentation Solutions, ZyDoc participates and supports development of new products, new technologies, new tools, and new treatments. ZyDoc is providing the industry with a paradigm for bridging the gap between dictation solutions and the EMR."

ZyDoc's participation in and support of the Foundation will be acknowledged in many RSNA publications, including RSNA News, Buyer's Guide, RSNA Membership Directory, the RSNA Research and Education Foundation Annual report, and the Daily Bulletin. ZyDoc will also be acknowledged during the RSNA Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting in the following ways: it will be recognized at an exclusive reception for Exhibitor's Circle members and RSNA leaders, the Foundation's Research Pavilion, and the 2004 RSNA Annual Conference with special ribbon and signage at the ZyDoc exhibit. This annual industry event is attended by thousands of radiologists. It offers a wide range of topics and viewpoints to enable healthcare professionals to remain current with industry trends; and to evaluate the latest healthcare IT and radiological advances. Conference Information can be obtained at http://www.rsna.org.

Dr. Maisel further elaborates, "Our Medical Transcription Business Recognition Award; growing transcription business; and success in licensing our transcription infrastructure products to transcription companies, transcriptionists, and EMR vendors are all confirmation that our technical solutions are on track. We hope that our participation in RSNA's research and education efforts will increase ZyDoc's visibility in the transcription marketplace as a leader in speech recognition and documentation solutions. ZyDoc can provide many smaller transcription companies with Transcription ASP solutions, which will allow them both to move to digital files and to leverage the values of speech recognition and the Internet with a wider pool of transcriptionists and faster delivery. Additionally, ZyDoc's Transcription ASP solutions will fulfill HIPAA and security requirements without upfront investments.

"While ZyDoc offers state-of-the-art technology (such as speech recognition as the first step in the transcription process) foremost in the growth of our transcription service business has been the extension of our service's value chain and the operational aspects of the company. Our ability to offer same-day start-up, overnight turnaround, and high accuracy - even in unusual specialties - has been compelling. Clients immediately experience relief from backlogs and improved operations, including faster reporting, less chart churning, and fewer disruptive phone calls from referring physicians. ZyDoc clients with multiple offices especially benefit from TrackDoc, our web-based HIPAA-compliant document management system. TrackDoc allows users to access records from anywhere via Internet browser. It facilitates low risk, transparent, and rapid transition to EMR, and does not require users to change their work habits. Transcription clients have no increase in their costs, but can now obtain "bedside billing" (including immediate routing of jobs for electronic signature, coding, and billing with attachments), which should result in fewer days for which bills remain outstanding and decreased billing-cycle time," states Dr. Maisel.

ZyDoc offers a range of solutions to match business needs with dictation solutions. For PC-literate physicians, ZyDoc offers its award-winning SpeechDoc reporting system, which facilitates speech recognition, handwriting recognition, and input from keyboard, mouse, and pen stylus into speech-optimized knowledge-base templates. It allows radiologists to generate professional documentation faster and more economically than other methods allow. SpeechDoc is tightly integrated with the award-winning, user-friendly, ZipDoc e-Transcription service, which is designed for PC novices and doctors who prefer not to change their work habits. Regardless of documentation methods, completed records and dictations are accessible via Internet browser through ZyDocs TrackDoc web-based Chart-Management System, which is located in secure world-class facilities that withstood the Northeast blackout.
