BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(Business Wire)--
SourceMedical today announced the immediate and exclusive availability of
SourcePlus Transcription to all SourceMedical Vision, AdvantX and SurgiSource

SourcePlus Transcription is an innovative, integrated transcription service. It
allows surgical facilities to edit reports online, view audit trails of changes,
see immediate status of dictation and pull patient data directly from the
SourceMedical application, plus many other features not found with standard
transcription services today. 

"Surgical Notes has many years of experience serving the ASC and Surgical
Hospital industries and are deemed experts in delivering quality transcription
services because of their thorough understanding of the unique needs and
requirements of these communities," said Ron Pelletier, vice president of market
strategy for SourceMedical`s Surgery Division. "As a result, SourcePlus
Transcription offers a better alternative to in-house transcription and other
non-integrated services, providing greater functionality for report management,
storage, and retrieval of operative reports." 

SourcePlus Transcription can also be customized with dictation instructions and
ID numbers to match a client`s existing environment, as well as replicate any
templates for procedures provided by the physician or facility. 

"SourcePlus Transcription is all about efficiency, accuracy and real-time access
to patient data," said Jeff Blankinship, Surgical Notes founder and president.
