The FutureNet transcription system is one of the most comprehensive transcription systems in the industry. The system includes several modules: iType for word processing which uses automated patient census (when available from the customer's HIS system), electronic doctor rosters, and other database-level information to enhance the transcription process; iText for word and text expansion; iManager for transcribed document management and distribution, HL7 interface capability, and statistical management report writing; iServer for system configurations; and iGateway for voice and text file access and authentication.
This system seamlessly integrates with the FutureNet iVoice dictation system via iPlayer and iGateway. iPlayer can download voice files from iVoice through iGateway. iType can transmit finished documents back to iManager using the iGateway application. iGateway plays the role of gatekeeper to protect all healthcare information. It also logs all transactions for additional security and auditing.
