HOW TO GET STARTED OUTSOURCING

If your facility has never outsourced, A+Network may be your vendor of choice for initial and ongoing outsourcing because:

We have HIM experience (since 1989) unlike many new ASP (Application Service Provider) startups with no customer base or HIM knowledge base
Our staff includes CMT’s and RHIT's and other health professionals that understand HIM work flow pressures, physician demands, capital budget limitations, quality concerns and HIPAA implications
We are the provider of TAeSeries® Integrated Dictation, Transcription and Document Management Systems, in addition to outsourced transcription solutions
We offer the ability to adjust to changing levels of your outsourcing needs as facility dictation backs up or internal transcriptionist staffing levels change
