What does EMDAT stand for?

Our company name simply stands for Electronic Medical Dictation And Transcription.

How does EMDAT lower my costs?

EMDAT lowers your costs in three ways:

  • Cutting the actual number of lines transcribed by up to 30%
  • Eliminating the courier and staff fees of a paper-based system
  • Standardizing the definition of a “line” across 120 transcription companies

How can EMDAT’s Expressway™ improve my dictation and transcription process?

EMDAT’s Expressway™ improves the workflow of your dictation and transcription process by increasing efficiency and decreasing time-spent on the entire process. EMDAT’s Expressway™ constantly tracks your transcriptions, reporting your transcription status and giving you feedback on the best transcriptionists for the most efficient workflow.

How can I choose another transcription company?

Switching transcription companies is a seamless process that doesn’t impact your established workflow. With EMDAT, you can choose from over 120 transcription companies within our network. Simply go to our MarketplaceTM and enter your criteria (capabilities, location, etc.) or call us for support to help you find the best transcription company that fits your needs.

I have a transcription service provider I’m happy with.
Do I have to switch?

Not at all— EMDAT’s Expressway™ doesn’t force you to change transcription companies or the way in which you go about your daily routine, for that matter. Instead, EMDAT works within the way you already conduct business on a day to day basis, changing as little as possible, making sure you don’t have any down time. We’ll work with your current transcription service provider and, should you at anytime want to change transcription service providers, just choose from our list of over 120 companies and make the switch with a literal click of a mouse.

How long does it take to get the EMDAT Expressway™ system in place?

In less than 3 weeks you can be up and running a fully customized electronic dictation and transcription system.

Will EMDAT’s Expressway™ interface with my EMR?

Yes— EMDAT’s Expressway™ is seamlessly compatible with every EMR/EHR system in operation.

How does EMDAT insure HIPAA compliance?

Using our 128-bit encrypted technology, your transcriptions are secure 24/7 to insure HIPAA compliance.

Does EMDAT train my staff and me on the system?

Because the EMDAT Expressway™ is so simple to learn, your staff will be using the Expressway™ after less than one day of phone training.

How much does it cost to use EMDAT?

If you use in-house transcription services, you can purchase the software. If you outsource your transcription service provider, you are only charged per line for your transcriptions; there are no upfront fees for the EMDAT Expressway™ infrastructure and no costs for the software.

Can I generate reports using EMDAT’s Expressway™?

Yes! EMDAT’s Expressway™ will generate reports to help you manage your transcriptions accurately and effectively.

How do I access my transcripts?
