Stamford Pathology Group Dramatically Improves Operating Efficiencies by Implementing VoiceOver
Eliminated transcription costs
Read the full case study
The challenge
Stamford Pathology Group knew it needed to change, but wanted a solution built specifically for anatomic pathology rather than a general dictation tool. Outdated transcription created bottlenecks that slowed reports and carried a heavy cost.
What changed
The group implemented VoiceOver®, with customizable templates and Bluetooth-enabled dictation designed for AP workflows, and eliminated its transcription step while holding to compliance and patient-safety standards.
The results
Eliminating transcription cut cost and turnaround while improving report quality and patient safety:
- ~$180,000 saved annually in transcription costs.
- Up to 1.5 days faster turnaround on reports.
- ~20% more reports dictated per day, higher reporting capacity from the same team.
- Transcription error eliminated, improving report quality and patient safety.
- Immediate sign-out. Pathologists release a case the moment they finish dictating.
The quality of our reports is better since switching to VoiceOver. I can sign out a case the minute I finish dictating.
