VIVA Transcription Search Function Helps
Identify Those at Risk for Swine Flu

- Keyword search in online medical transcripts can quickly locate potential victims -

SANTA CRUZ, CA-VIVA Transcription, a leading provider in medical transcription services, announced that its leading-edge client portal is providing an immediate value-added service to medical professionals searching for patients who may have recognizable symptoms of swine flu.  Through its online search function, doctors and other medical professionals can enter keywords such as “Mexico,” “fever,” “cough,” “sore throat,” or “respiratory distress” to immediately retrieve patient records with those terms.  The search feature also allows users to search by date as well, so medical professionals can hone in specifically on the dates that symptoms of swine flu became detectable.

“As the urgency to identify patients who may have come in contact with swine flu reaches epic proportions, VIVA’s application is making it faster and easier for clients to locate medical records of patients with likely symptoms,” stated Manuel Prado, CEO of VIVA Transcription.  “Doctors utilizing our transcription services do not have to spend valuable time searching through paper documents, but can search through thousands of their medical records stored on our server within seconds – at a period when time is of the essence.”

Additional enhancements to VIVA’s online client portal include increased download speed of transcripts, the ability for online editing, and free faxing capabilities so doctors can instantly fax urgent transcripts directly from their PC.
