eSign^̀

eSign^̀ is a browser-based physician electronic authentication system, designed for physician efficiency with easy-to-use color screens and mouse or keyboard controls.  eSign^̀ includes multi-line physician editing from the browser using AAI’s RTF word processor, eliminating the need to install and maintain MS Word.  Physicians can access, edit and sign from any PC with an Internet (Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher) network connection.  Using the TA^̀ system with an integrated voice file, physicians may also listen to the original dictation file from within the TA^̀ website.  eSign^̀ has been designed for superior speed in both the editing and signing modes to accommodate the priorities of physicians.  Since no software is loaded on a physician desktop, deployment is quick and easy.  eSign^̀ meets all regulatory requirements for JCAHO, CMS (HCFA), and HIPAA.  eSign^̀, part of the TA^̀ platform, is especially popular with radiology and emergency department customers.
