Fax Electronic signature Presentation Secure

Any industry involving a large amount of paperwork make use electronic signatures. In other words, all industries make use of electronic signatures because all of them have piles of paperwork to handle. Some examples of such industries include financial, life science, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.Industries such as the pharmaceutical industry, have a number of licenses and other paperwork that they have to handle and keep track of. It can be a tedious task to perform such cumbersome paper processes. Therefore, e-signatures can facilitate an organisation in keeping a track of all this paperwork, by signing electronically.Healthcare industries usually involve time-sensitive documents, which need to be urgently completed. But, it can take days in case of the traditional wet ink paper signatures for the documents to signNow the signer and back, if the parties are geographically scattered. But with electronic signatures, that is not the case. Geographical barriers do not play a role. Documents which earlier needed days to be completed, can now be signed and sent back within minutes, in the click of a button. Furthermore, it takes a long time to bring assets under management. The time taken by the signing process, if wet ink paper signatures are used, may even further delay the process. But by using electronic signatures, the whole process can speed up.Apart from these, there are many paper prone industries which require huge amount of paperwork and with the use of electronic signatures they can make their everyday processes smoother and more efficient.

You might think that with the popularity and maturity of email and other modes of electronic communication (including good old voice) that the use of fax would all be but extinct.  But fax is still very much alive in the present.  We may not find ourselves personally sending faxes everyday, indeed many of us may not have a fax number on our business cards any longer, but there are still a number of niche applications for fax that will see it with us for quite a few years to come.  So where is the market opportunity for faxing? Sending faxes is still a means for a single promotion piece to be shared with 1000s of prospects.  “That’s the same as email!” I hear you exclaim and yes, that is true.  However, with fax comes the opportunity for a higher readership as it is deemed an ‘open’ communication. Whether it’s left lying on the fax machine or even on top of the recycling bin, there is a greater chance of someone viewing it and taking action.   In addition, fax can also be used to reinforce the signNow of an email campaign. There is always a high percentage of marketing emails that are not opened and if a fax duplicate of the message can be sent, that serves to enhance the chances of the message getting through and ensue the target businesses are being signNowed. There is still the need for replica documentation and signatures to be transferred and, in the absence of a scanner or if time is of the essence, fax remains the first choice. I understand that police forces still use them for sending evidence (e.g., fingerprints).  Particular vertical markets, such as finance, but especially legal firms, use them as they need signatures on contracts and many other organisations, such as health authorities, see faxes as more secure than email.

Flawless documentation is also indispensable from the point of view of ensuring error-free provider billing.

Nowadays, many companies are offering both transcription services and software. Audio recorders are being replaced by speech recognition software that automaticallyconvertaudio into text format. However, here too human intervention via transcribers becomes necessary to edit the transcripts prepared by the speech recognition system.Providers leading in the industry combine technology and human skills to ensure precision in the clinical documentation process.The advantage of this approach is that the transcriptionists who are highly trained understand the medical context, check for accuracy and provide outstanding service that cannot be obtained from a software system alone.As these companies are effectively staffed, they can ensure production coverage in peak volume periods and round-the-clock service.They are also seriously committed to HIPAA privacy and security and ensure complete confidentiality of patient information.They can work with EMR/EHR systems via HL7 interface. They can directly work with most EMRs or upload reports into them.They can also help customers to post old medical records into the electronic record system.In addition to this, healthcare providers can also utilize a full suite of revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions including medical billing and coding services.Hospitals Benefiting from Outsourced Medical TranscriptionMany hospitals among other healthcare organizations choose to outsource their healthcare documentation requirements. Boone Hospital Center in Columbia has partnered with a service provider in order to achieve “greater efficiencies” in this process. A major reason for the switch is the mandatory ICD-10 implementation. This regulatory change, which is the first ICD update in 35 years demanded a comprehensive communication and retraining process to educate staff about the new ICD-10 requirements, according to a hospital spokesperson. He pointed out that outsourcing these tasks has become a healthcare industry standard over the past five years, especially with the advent of electronic medical records. Many healthcare providers depend on outsourced services for transcribing medical documents such as for surgeries with complex notes.There is no doubt that offshore medical transcription is a fast-growing and promising segment in the field of future patient documentation. These effective solutions enable care providers to meet their complex documentation requirements in an increasingly challenging and advancing healthcare environment.More...

Ooof! Let’s see if I can articulate this process.Step 1. Let’s call this “receiving the prescription.” This can be via electronic means, by telephone or a piece of paper. First, I have to determine if the prescription is a legitimate one. Did it originate with a valid prescriber or their authorized agent? ( I do a quick bit of mental math to verify that the DEA number of the prescriber is legitimate.)Does the prescription meet the legal requirements for a valid order in my state? In Oregon, this means the name & birthdate of the patient, the date the prescription was written, the drug name & amount to be dispensed, directions for use (“the sig”) and number of refills authorized, plus the signature of the authorized prescriber. Can I read the darn thing? It’s amazing to me that a society as technically advanced as ours permits atrocious handwriting on a scrap of paper as the basis for a prescription. I once filled a prescription written on a potato.If the prescription is for a controlled substance, we have to have the address & phone number of the patient & prescriber. If these elements are not present, prescriptions for controlled substances have to be taken back to the author to have changes made.2. Getting to know the patient. I can’t speak for all pharmacies here, but at this point, I like to know a bit about the person I’m giving medication to, if I don’t know you already. I’ll ask about allergies & reactions, known medical conditions & additional meds you may already be on. I’m also eyeballing you as we speak, getting some basic knowledge such as sex, approximate age & physical condition. If the prescription seems “off” to me or I think there may be an attempt to obtain controlled substances illegally, I’m going to be asking a lot more questions & assessing whether or not you are going to present a threat to me & my staff.3. Establishing how this prescription is going to be paid for. If you haven’t been to my pharmacy before & I don’t have your current insurance information on file, I will ask for proof of insurance. If you are paying cash or have a discount coupon, this is the time to let me know.4. Entering the patient information & prescription into our computer system. Some people are surprised to find that not all pharmacies & doctor’s offices are electronically linked together. Everyone has different software & information sharing is difficult, due to privacy concerns.5. Drug product selection. Also known as going to find stuff on the shelves. Some pharmacies have wonderful inventory systems that uses a flashing light to indicate where the correct drug is located. Most just have to physically locate the drug on the shelves somewhere in the pharmacy. That accounts for the warren of shelves that we seem to disappear into when looking for your medicine. Yes, we do take the opportunity when we are out of sight for a quick scratch.6. This is the part I call “counting, pouring, licking & sticking.” Verifying that the product selected matches the original prescription. Locating the appropriate dispensing container (this is regulated by law, believe it or not.) Physically counting out the medication & sometimes having a second person count it again. There are also dispensing robots that do this part in some pharmacies. Affixing the prescription label (& again assuring that all the information it contains meets the legal requirements of a prescription in your area of practice. ) This is also the point where controlled substances have to be inventoried dose by dose & the remainder returned to the safe, usually under the watchful gaze of a security camera.)7. Matching up the prescription, the medication guide & the receipt. Check receipt to make sure the appropriate insurance claim was submitted. Check co-pay; if it seems high or inappropriate, you have to break the news to the patient diplomatically. Checking that all prescriptions ordered by the patient for this dispensing are present.8. Calling the patient to pick up their order. Offer mandatory counseling & document the performance of counseling or patient refusal. Verify ID if dispensing a controlled substance. Confirm copay & insurance. If patient thinks insurance claim is not correct, attempt to call insurance company on their behalf. Be forced thru a phone tree that would try the patience of Job. Be informed by representative that the patient themselves needs to contact the insurer & that nothing can be done at point of sale. Put on lead suit & convey that information to the patient as diplomatically as possible. Listen patiently to verbal abuse, threats to call your manager & demands for gift cards as compensation for having to wait. While all this is going on, the phone is ringing, the fax is spitting papers on the floor & an elderly, hard-of-hearing person is asking my opinion of the various supplements available for sale.Easy peasy, lemon squeezy…..Nothing to it! How long does it take to count out a few pills & slap a label on?

Realtors hear this all the time. I don't understand why you don't want us to be paid for our effort. The charge is more then just what we do which I have a list to put on here. It is the expense-car, repairs, time, fees ( and believe me there are many over 1200 a year here minimum) gas, computer, phone, cable, and much more. We work so hard. We are constantly going to classes and I can't overdo what it takes. Here is the list and this++++++++ more is what you get for your 3%.A side note-If your house doesn't sell the Realtor gets $0 zip Nothing and they still have done lots of work.
