Print Templates - More Than Headers & Footers
Some systems give transcription companies the option of charging for these lines. Since Transcription Companies pay for the software that generates these lines, they have every right to charge their client for them. Traditionally, anything on the final report is considered chargeable lines. In the Emdat system, the transcription company or medical facility (whomever is contracted to use the software) not only have the choice of charging for headers and footers, but also patient demographic labels, clinician titles and credentials, first and last paragraphs of a transcription (if as a template).
The Print Template was first designed by Emdat and uses the technology built into Internet Explorer to allow for variable information before the transcription body and after the transcription body. Because these variables are populated through setup screens and the transcriptionist doesn't type them, Transcription Companies can use Emdat without any additional expenses and usually save money by using Emdat.
Medical Facilities are able to dramatically drop the number of lines that are transcribed and therefore dramatically drop their transcription expense each month. Using Print Templates is a major improvement and cost savings over traditional transcription. Contact Emdat for more details.
