The Caradoc Medical Services Buying Consortium has appointed Lexacom as its exclusive approved supplier of digital dictation software. Caradoc represents more than 800 GP practices in the UK and helps its members to maximise their profitability through enhanced buying terms and the promotion and introduction of money saving initiatives.
Lexacom’s popular and innovative digital dictation software has been proven to deliver impressive cost savings and a greater level of immediacy and efficiency in more than 1500 GP practices across the UK. This has been the catalyst for Caradoc’s decision to appoint the software house as its exclusive approved digital dictation supplier.
Buying Consortium Manager, Peter Masters, said: “I have only heard good things about Lexacom and when I had a software demonstration I was immediately impressed. It’s clear that Lexacom’s digital dictation software is designed by GPs for GPs and I think our members will see the benefits of a product that is dedicated to improving administrative efficiency in the practice and achieves excellent results.”
In a recent audit that directly compared the efficiency of a digital dictation system to that of a tape-based dictation platform, Lexacom’s software was found to reduce the average time it takes to process urgent patient information from 31 hours and 42 minutes down to 1 hour and 21 seconds. Also, when processing routine patient information, Lexacom reduced this average from 98 hours and 17 minutes down to 26 hours and 48 minutes.
Peter Masters admitted that Caradoc’s decision to appoint Lexacom was also influenced by the technical developments that it has planned for the near future.
Lexacom Managing Director, Dr. Andrew Whiteley, said: “We are in the closing stages of our latest technical development phase and will shortly be rolling out some very exciting solutions, including a brand-new software program, a genuine ‘Cloud’ communication platform and Apps for various mobile devices like the iPhone and BlackBerry.
“We’re very proud of our ability to push the envelope of technical development and give customers like the members of Caradoc a digital dictation solution and improvements in efficiency that they cannot get anywhere else.”
