News from Enterprise Health Information Management - Transcription Services

In February, WellStar implemented improved fax distribution capabilities for transcribed reports reports (H&Ps, Operative Reports, Consults, Discharge Summaries, etc.)** via the Webmedx fax solution. This technology enhancement provides us with two options: 1) author copy and 2) cc copy which will assure that all physicians (within and outside of WellStar) receive a copy of a transcribed report when the dictating physician has requested one. Physicians can opt-in or out of receiving fax copies of reports.

It is important when dictating a request for distribution of a copy of your report that you provide the following:

- Full name of physician (first and last name) OR name of physician group OR name of healthcare facility
- Address OR fax number of recipient if going to a physician OR healthcare provider outside of WellStar

Without the above information, HIM will be unable to process the copy distribution.

For questions or concerns about transcription service, please contact Bonnie Moreland, Enterprise HIM Transcription Supervisor, at bonnie.moreland@wellstar.org or 678-848-9854
