Transcription Editor Actions

A ribbon menu along the top of the transcription editor provides actions that can be taken. Available actions depend on the transcription workflow status, user permissions, and client setup. The actions presented in the transcription viewer for a given transcription may not include all of the below options.

The Play option will not appear when the dictation is not available.

Demographics

Demographics include patient information, as well as health care provider and appointment information. The layout and data fields in the demographics are customizable by the client, as well as which fields are editable or read-only. Users can search the patient database by using the magnifying glass button next to the Patient Name field. The patient search criteria can be customized by the client. The following are the default demographic fields available in the Transcription Editor:

• Patient Information: Includes Patient Name, Patient ID, Birthdate, and Gender.
• Order Number: The order number or appointment identifier.
• Clinician: The provider who dictated the transcription.
• Location: Depending on client setup, this could be the location of the appointment or the department within the facility.
• Document Type: Indicates which work type of the transcription. Document types can be formatted differently.
• Appt Date: The date and time of the appointment.
• Dictation Date: The date the clinician dictated the transcription.

Transcription Text Editor

The Editor Window allows changes to be made to the body of the document. The tools in the toolbar allow users to create and modify tables, change font and size, add lists, run the spell check, and more.

In-Editor Audio Control

InQuiry supports an in-editor audio control. With this option, users can control audio while editing a transcribed document. This setting is turned off by default and must be enabled by an administrator.

Once enabled, the audio control will be present within the edit transcription screen and additional playback controls will appear in the editor toolbar. The playback control may display differently depending on the browser used.

Use the control to adjust the playback speed, play/pause the audio, and move forward and backwards in the audio.

The following keyboard shortcuts are available:

• ALT + Shift + S - Go To Start
• ALT + Shift + R - Rewind
• ALT + Shift + P - Play/Pause
• ALT + Shift + F - Fast Forward
• ALT + Shift + E - Go To End

Foot pedals that are capable of being configured to send specific keystrokes can also be used to control audio while simultaneously editing. Please refer to your foot pedal manufacturer's user manual for assistance in configuring the shortcuts.

Associates

Referred Associates are people or organizations who receive copies of the transcription. After a Referred Associate section has been added using the "Add Associate" button in the Transcription Editor, the Associate's contact information can be entered on the left panel. Multiple associates can be added to one transcription.

On the right panel are check boxes that affect how the associate is handled in the associate database and workflow.

• Primary radio button indicates which associate is the primary associate for the transcription. Typically, the primary associate is the one to whom the letter is addressed. Other associates have been carbon copied. Only one associate can be designated the primary associate. Additionally, if no primary associate is needed, there is a radio button at the top of the first Referred Associate labeled " No Primary."
• Add/Update in Database: If the associate is new, this check box adds the associate to the associate database when the transcription is saved. If the associate already exists in the associate database, the associate record is updated with any changes or new information provided.
• Autofax Associate: This check box indicates that a fax will automatically be generated for this associate for this transcription. If both Add/Update in Database and Autofax Associate are checked, future documents where this associate is added will also be auto faxed.
• Patient's PCP: When checked, the copied associate is indicated as the Patient's Primary Care Provider, or PCP. The PCP is automatically copied on all transcriptions associated with a specific patient. Primary Care Providers can still be removed from the Referred Associate list.
• Search: Search the Associates Database for existing associate records to add to the transcription. Click a record from the search results to add the associate to the transcription.
• Delete: The Delete button removes the Associate from the transcription.

Additional Authenticators

Additional Authenticators are providers, other than the dictator, who need to review and sign the transcription, such as attendings signing residents' transcriptions. This workflow is typically used in a teaching clinic or hospital setting in which the attendings must attest to the residents' transcription accuracy.

Multiple authenticators can be added to one transcription by pressing the Add Authenticator button for each authenticator. The signing order is displayed but cannot be edited so the authenticators will need to be added in the order in which they need to sign the document, with the first added authenticator signing after the dictator has approved the transcription and the last added authenticator to sign last. Pressing the Delete button will remove the last authenticator.
