ABOUT AAI 

Overview

Arrendale Associates develops, sells, and services comprehensive medical dictation, speech recognition, transcription, document management and electronic signature systems.  Our state-of-the-art software utilizes the latest technologies to provide superior efficiency, security and flexibility for customers around the globe.  Hospitals, physician practices and medical transcription service organizations manage the vital process of dictation through electronic signature with our fully-integrated, user-friendly applications.  The original Transcription Assistant product of 1989 has evolved from a DOS-based WordPerfect application to today's Internet-based product suite, TA⁺, allowing healthcare facilities to comply with HIPAA and CMS regulations.

Our focus has always been and remains one hundred percent focused on healthcare.  Most Arrendale software engineers have worked in US hospital environments, so they understand the priorities of patient care, JCAHO, and reimbursement.  We deliver a product that is reliable, cost-effective and efficient for dictators, transcription coordinators, editors, correctionists and transcriptionists.  Integrated speech recognition generates further turnaround time reductions and cost-savings, which are needed in today's competitive environment.  Our solutions are easily deployed in either an ASP, hosted environment or with traditional onsite licensing-whichever method is most suitable to your facility.  Arrendale believes in adjusting our software and technology to work with your uniqueness, not the other way around.

AAI began the A⁺ Network Affiliation program in 2001 to provide integrated medical transcription outsourcing to hospitals.  A⁺ Network consists of top-notch medical transcription service partners that use Arrendale products to deliver seamless outsourcing and platform features to healthcare facilities.  The TA⁺ product suite supports large healthcare organizations that manage multiple transcription service providers as well as community hospitals or physician practices that depend on an A⁺ Network provider for total or partial transcription outsourcing.  As outsourcing has grown in recent years, healthcare managers rely on their TA⁺ systems to evaluate turnaround times, verify quality levels and produce transparent invoices from their transcription providers.

Arrendale transcription solutions are highly flexible with a configurable document management system available to deliver transcripts to each associated physician in his/her chosen delivery format.  Immediate, secure web access to transcripts promotes improved patient care.   The TA⁺ platform includes a unique on-line transcript grading module to score your MTSO and your facility transcriptionists.  Our engineering and interfacing proficiency, along with HIS, RIS, PACS and physician practice familiarity, allow us to meet the unique needs of each healthcare client.  Customization examples includes adaptation of the TA⁺ platform for Caribbean transcriptionist training schools, workflow adjustments for the United Kingdom hospital trusts, electronic transcript delivery into physician practice EMRs and much more.

Arrendale values each and every customer relationship and is dedicated to providing a cost-effective and single-source solution to work in today's evolving healthcare environment.  We welcome your inquiries and look forward to customizing a TA⁺ and A⁺Network solution for your hospital, physician practice or MTSO.
