June 18, 2007 (Boston, MA) eScription, Inc, the leader in Computer Aided Medical Transcription (CAMT) software, announced today the recipients of its Million Dollar Award and Productivity Award, which were presented to customers at its annual User Meeting, May 17-18, 2007. Seven eScription customers received Million Dollar Awards by realizing cost savings of $1 million dollars or by reaching a new level of million dollar savings using eScription software. Four customers were recognized with the Productivity Award, acknowledging that their in-house transcription teams achieved more than 125% productivity improvement – the improvement in editing versus traditional transcription.
eScription presented Million Dollar Awards to four customers that demonstrated their first $1 million in cost savings: Carle (Urbana, IL), Charleston Area Medical Center (South Charleston, WV), Mount Carmel Health System (Columbus, OH), and Quincy Medical Group (Quincy, IL). Additionally, eScription recognized three organizations for achieving more than $4 million in cost savings: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA), Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Boston, MA) and UNC Health Care (Chapel Hill, NC).

eScription provides background speech recognition and transcription software that is focused solely on increasing the productivity of medical transcriptionists (MTs). These productivity gains drive significant cost savings for the healthcare enterprise by enabling organizations to reduce or eliminate outsourcing, take on additional transcription work without adding resources, re-deploy internal MTs, or reduce the cost per line as a result of editing efficiencies.
