General FAQ for First Time Users
   
How does CBayScribe work?

CBayScribe is simply the most effective transcription and document management system available today. Here's why …
   
Care Providers may dictate via state-of-the-art, hand - held recorders, by telephone, or on a PDA.
   
Recorders are docked via a USB connection.
   
Audio files are retrieved and captured in CBayScribe's revolutionary ReportPro document management software. Once retrieved, audio files are encrypted for security and uploaded to CBayScribe for transcription.
   
With the push of a button, documents are returned into the ReportPro environment the next business day.
   
Documents are always accessible 24/7 via CBayScribe's website.
   
Is ReportPro something my office staff can easily learn to use?

Yes, in fact ReportPro's powerful document management tools were designed with the direct involvement and input of actual practice staff members. At CBayScribe we understand the necessity of processing documents as quickly and efficiently as possible. That's why ReportPro makes processing documents faster and easier than ever before.
   
What are some of the timesaving features of ReportPro?
   
Documents are separated by Care Provider. Summary demographics are captured on each document to assist in organizing and accessing specific documents.
   
Documents can be opened, printed, faxed or forwarded individually or in batches.
   
Documents can be forwarded, not as email attachments which are non-HIPAA compliant, but as a secure hyperlink which is directed to our secure website.
   

Care Providers can Esign documents.

   
CBayScribe's built-in fax feature saves time and expense. Equally important, the address book allows names and numbers to be imported from your Outlook contacts.
   
ReportPro's embedded search engine enables search by key words or demographics.
   
What kind of HIPAA Compliance Tools does your system offer?
   

All users of ReportPro are given their own ID and password.

   
Specific rights and permissions for each user are assigned, allowing you full control over the level of access that each employee has to patient records.
   
A key reason for establishing rights and permissions is that all user accesses to documents are captured and recorded in the Audit Trail associated with each and every document. With ReportPro, you're in total control of who's accessing your documents, and what they did with that document.
   
Are my documents secured?

CBayScribe employs the same level of encryption used by America's leading financial institutions, which is 128-bit encryption. CBayScribe is a VeriSign Secure site and employs SSL technology and password protection to ensure that your records are accessible only to you.
