Status of Work Tab 

The Status of Work tab is the screen that manages the workflow of the dictation and transcription files in ScriptWave.  The tab is broken into to sections: the Work Status area and the Details area.

 

Work Status shows all Dictation files at the various stages of work.  In this example, there is a files marked as Received from a physician, and 2 others have been Assigned to typists. 

  

The Dictation files continue to move from Received to Assigned to Typed to Reviewed to Completed.  Physicians will see the status of all work that they have submitted, and the Office Administrator will see the status of work for all Physicians in the office. 

The Details area shows information about the file selected in the Work Status area.

 

 

Import, Transmit, Receive, Assign, Type, Review and Complete dates change as work progresses.

 

For mp3 and wav files, ScriptWave can play the audio directly.

 

 

If work is Priority (stat) this comment will appear.  This notifies the medical transcriptionist for faster turn-around for work. 

Viewing transcribed files

When Dictation reaches the “Competed” status, all transcribed files related to the dictation will appear in the Transcribed files list.

After selecting the dictation file in the Work Status area, select the attached document in the transcribed files area.  Click on the open document  icon to start your default word processor (Word, WordPerfect) and open the document.

 

The Receive Transcription folder: Documents exported from ScriptWave

When dictation work is completed, a copy of all transcribed files is placed in the folder that you specify in the “Receive Transcription” folder (see Preferences to set or change this folder).  You can use the files in this folder to import documents into a doc management system or medical management system.

If you have special naming requirements for these transcribed files, your transcriptionist can override the name created by ScriptWave to match the needs of your medical records.

For example, ScriptWave assigns a name to a transcribed file:

P001_Dr_Charles_E_Weindorf_A_12_09_2006_0001_T01.doc

Your transcriptionist can use the Alt Name feature to change this name to one that matches your system:

In your “Receive Transcription” folder you will see the new document name:
