MMI has developed functionality which allows 3rd party vendors to send transcribed or ‘textual’ content either directly into an unfinalized visit note or as a stand-alone chart note. If the customer wants to use the Transcription workflows, a Firm Admin can also navigate to "Manage Firm Preferences":
and set Enable Transcription Status to ‘ON’:
User Experience
Depending on the customer and or workflow, either of these experiences can be or may be accommodated. If there is an unfinalized encounter (visit) for a patient, AND the provider has marked the encounter as ‘HELD FOR TRANSCRIPTION’:
THEN, the vendor can send in text that will appear inside the ‘Additional Visit Notes’ section of the Visit note:
An end user will know IF transcription has been received:
Once the transcription has been received,, the provider can either accept it or edit it to their liking before accepting the text into the Visit Note.
You will notice that a Transcriptionist also has a space to add notes to the Provider. This is helpful for situations where perhaps the provider was dictating, but the transcriptionist wasn’t sure about something the provider had said. They could communicate something like that in this space.
Once it has been accepted, it will appear here in the visit note:
If there is no visit or the visit is not marked as ‘HELD FOR TRANSCRIPTION’, then when the vendor sends text, it will create a new Chart Note:
From this screen, the provider can either accept it or edit it to their liking before finalizing the Chart Note.
