A+ NETWORK…. WHAT'S IN A NAME

A+ Network.…what's in a name? Arrendale Associates, Inc (AAI) announces October 2000 that for the first time we can provide transcription services along with our popular document management products. We are delivering this service through our newly formed system of services, A+Network.

Over the years, as AAI has provided document management solutions to hospitals, we have been repeatedly asked, "What transcription service do you recommend?" Our clients want their outside service reports to go into TA® Document Management just like their in-house completed reports. Until now, we could not recommend any service because we knew most transcription services do not integrate readily or willingly. Although we have declined to recommend, Arrendale has willingly worked with many transcription services when asked to do so. In fact, we now interface with more than 30 different transcription services using TA® Send, part of our legacy Transcript Advantage (TA®) product.

As TAeSeries® began to take shape, we realized our Internet based transcription software would be perfect for transcription services. TAeSeries® works with the Internet, can easily be installed and maintained, and can easily integrate any service-created documents back into the rich TA® document management system as so desired by our customers. Arrendale could either begin the awesome task of staffing our own network of transcription services, or partner with selected services, those providing the same high quality that AAI values.

How different are we? Well, for one, A+Network is "More Than Just Talk". Our products are deliverable today, are Internet-enabled and they work! AAI has had at-home transcription for 5 years, electronic signature for 7 years, and document management systems for 10 years. A+Network has made the commitment to offer these same capabilities, much more than other transcription services can provide.

We announced TAeSeries®, our ASP Internet Product, at AHIMA in Chicago, Sept. 2000. TAeSeries® is revolutionary, because, while others "talk" about their new products, we can deliver. TAeSeries® offers more options than ever before. Now, with an integrated dictation system (TAeDictate®), along with A+Network, hospitals can seamlessly move overflow work off site, and receive it back into TA® without user intervention. The flexibility of our Job Allocation Manager middleware (TAeJAX®) allows for a transition of overflow to outsourcing. You can outsource an individual department, like ED, HIM or DI, while still transcribing other departments in-house.

TAeSeries® meets stringent HIPAA auditing and encryption requirements and readily lends itself to the Application Service Provider (ASP) model. We believe, as do industry analysts, that within a few short years the ASP model will be the standard. Software and hardware will be housed off site at the vendor’s lock down facility. No more high cost of maintenance, support or facilities management. In this true “thin client” environment, the only software needed is at the desktop and the only network connection needed is the Internet.

If you are in the market for a new transcription service, we can provide seamless integration so all of your outsourced work flows directly into TA®. The best news is, we will do everything. And, we will guarantee quality and turnaround.
