The EMDAT Expressway™ has several advantages over a standard paper-based-system and also several advantages over other service providers.

Improved Workflow

The Expressway™ enables your medical facility to create its own customized workflow—whether you want to utilize electronic signatures, automated referral routing or just print your transcripts for manual clinician authentication.

The Expressway™ keeps patient schedules and referring clinicians’ addresses accessible on-line, via the internet, so that information within the transcript is accurate and complete.  No more researching a transcript after it has been returned to the medical facility for an address or the birth date of the patient.   This information is securely kept on-line and is used by the transcriptionists when transcribing a dictation.

Time Savings

The Expressway's™ automated workflow will help to reduce your dictation-to-chart-placement turnaround time because transcripts are accessible to authorized staff immediately upon completion.

The Expressway™ will decrease Accounts Receivable days as well, providing Billing personnel with authorized access to transcripts to reduce the time for coding, thereby reducing the time to final bill.

Today, many clinicians dictate referral letters in addition to notes.  These referral letters are little more than an introduction and a summary of the clinician’s findings.  Clinicians can choose to use The Expressway™ to automatically generate a cover letter that includes the findings from the note, thereby eliminating referrals letters.  Not only does this save clinicians time but, since these cover letters are free, cost is drastically reduced.

Transcription Company Flexibility

With the Expressway™ it is so easy to switch or use multiple vendors for transcription—it’s revolutionary. When medical facilities switch transcription companies—usually once every year and a half—they are left at the mercy of that vendor.

Not any more! The Expressway™ lets you change transcription companies without interrupting clinician or staff workflow. You control how a line is counted and which vendor or vendors do your transcription. All templates and information created on the Expressway™ are owned by you, therefore dictations can be routed to a new transcription company with the click of the mouse and all templates are retained.
