A recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine showed most physicians spend more than 16 minutes charting each patient visit. The study looked at physicians across 417 health systems in the United States, covering 100 million patient visits, and 155,000 physicians. Considering a GI spends roughly 30-60 minutes with each patient, this EHR work substantially limits how many patients a gastro doc can treat in a day – not to mention the added stress and distraction the EHR causes.
How much time is your EHR taking from your day? If data entry is interfering with your professional or personal life, you owe it to yourself to do whatever you can to limit the EHR’s impact. Since 1988, Athreon has specialized in speech-to-text transcription for gastroenterologists. Our audio-to-text transcription software and human transcription services help GI docs work more productively with or without an EHR. Our advanced documentation solutions for gastroenterology include dictation, speech recognition, and medical scribing.
Athreon’s transcriptionists and scribes are passionate about supporting GI docs and providing the best gastroenterology dictation services. Our healthcare documentation specialists have experience helping GIs create records for the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures they perform, including:
Athreon's production staff typically have more than 15 years of GI charting experience.
Our healthcare documentation specialists regularly document diseases that affect the GI tract, including the organs from the mouth to anus, along the alimentary canal. The significant conditions our GI production staff routinely document include:
| Gastrointestinal Cancers | Gallstones |
| Gastrointestinal Bleeding | Gastroenteritis |
| Liver Cirrhosis | Inflammatory Bowel Disease |
Athreon’s production staff has worked with many electronic health record systems. Regardless of which GI EHR you may be using, we’ve likely worked with it or can work with it since we’re EHR agnostic. Some of the gastro EHRs we've used to deliver our EMR transcription service include:
| gGastro | eClinicalWorks |
| AdvancedMD | Epic |
| CareCloud | GE Healthcare |
| Cerner | Kareo |
| Compulink | NueMD |
| drchrono | WRS Health |
Even if we haven’t listed your EHR, we can still handle your charting. Since we're EHR agnostic, our EMR transcription service can work with whichever EHR you use. We can even work with your EMR vendor to create system integrations that automate data transfers.
When it comes to dictating or recording your patient visits, the choices include:
Our mobile apps for popular smartphones and tablets mean you won’t even need to purchase a dictation device if you download our apps for iOS and Android devices.
We also offer gastroenterology speech recognition technology if you want to create records with even greater efficiency, speed, and savings. Or, if you think a virtual scribe makes sense for your workflow, our AxiScribe medical scribe service is available. Regardless of your preferences, Athreon can deliver a custom speech-to-text transcription solution that will empower you to be more productive with less time and effort.
When you hire our gastroenterology scribing company, the gains in efficiency and savings quickly come into focus. For instance, GI practices no longer need to screen and hire in-house transcriptionists or scribes, train them, or replace them when they leave. Moreover, the associated payroll, technology, and ancillary costs come off your books. What will you do with the time you save when you hire Athreon?
