GP Surgeries

Outsourcing offers GPs who are prepared to think outside the box a myriad of cost-cutting options. Business process outsourcing is now commonly accepted practice, but until recently the GP sector has been cautious about moving away from the more traditional methods of producing clinical correspondence.

With analogue dictation becoming obsolete in 2010, GPs need to investigate alternative technologies.  Digital dictation brings with it many benefits, not only in the improvement of sound quality, but in the flexibility that it offers.  Dictations can be shared between in-house secretaries, or outsourced to a transcription provider when necessary.  The technology has come a long way, with many products on the market to suit all requirements and budgets.  Accuro, as an expert in digital dictation solutions, can offer advice on the most suitable system, and help with installation, staff training and after sales support.

Accuro understands that a medical secretary working in a busy GP practice will do far more than type. One of the myths of outsourcing is that it is meant to completely replace the medical secretaries employed by a practice.  In reality this couldn't be further from the truth. Accuro is currently working in partnership with GP practices around the country that rely on us to finish the typing that their in-house team do no get through each day. They no longer worry about backlogs, absenteeism or holiday cover during the summer or at Christmas.

Some of our customers have, over time, reduced their overheads through natural attrition, increasing the volume of digital dictation outsourced instead of recruiting a new secretary. With average savings of 40% when compared to the salary of a medical secretary this is certainly worth considering.

Accuro are a specialist in medical transcription, and we promise that each doctor within your practice will be allocated their own team of medical secretaries. We are 100% UK based and will never send your digital dictation offshore.
