Physicians at the Los Angeles-based Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinics are using hand-held dictation software from IQMAX Inc. The 18-physician practice implemented the vendor's IQSpeak software to enable its orthopaedists to use their PDAs for dictation.
The software, which can be used on PDAs running the Palm OS or Windows Mobile operating systems, integrates with several practice management systems. Physicians at Kerlan-Jobe can synch their dictation data with the clinic's practice management system via a docking station or the practice's Wi-Fi network.
During the synch, patient schedules and some demographic data from the practice management system also can be downloaded to a physician's PDA. The practice previously used telephone and dedicated recorder-based dictation methods.
