Reduce Hospital Operating Costs
- Transcription costs per physician can be as high as
$1000/month.
- ObGyn's using ObGynPocketPro will have far less dictations
for transcription, cutting the number of transcriptions down by 70-90%
for operative notes.
- Emailing to data migrators will allow quick copy paste into
the hospital information system.
- Printing of operative notes will work with paper based
hospital systems
- Vastly reduce float times by taking documentation and
transcription completion times from a month to a minute.

to hospital staff thereby vastly reducing their need for chart review,
coding, and bill creation.

Rapid Medical Records Completion
Vastly Reduces Billing Float Time
- Since all notes are already signed, there is no need for
hold up of billing due to unsigned notes, or notes not yet transcribed.
- Outpatient surgeries require the operative note to be
completed before the bill can be submitted by the hospital - with
ObGynPocketPro, this is completed the day of the surgery in minutes,
rather than weeks later.

Reduce the Number of FTE's needed
- With decreased transcription requirements, at least one FTE
can be eliminated depending on the number of ObGyn Physicians.
- Decreased medical record personnel due to all
transcriptions and notes already electronically signed - no need for
manual review and flagging, or even electronic medical record flagging
for the physician to sign. There is no need because all notes
are completed and signed upon creation!
- With future expansion to other medical specialties, this
number will increase.

instantly met with all documents created by ObGynPocketPro.
