1) India wired

The Backroom Brigade, written by Delhi-based journalist Seetha, is
an interesting description of the genesis and transformation of the
Indian IT-enabled services (ITES) sector from the mid-1990s till
date.

The book also captures the transition that the medical
transcription industry underwent. This it does through the story of
Gurjot Singh Khalsa, an American convert who realised the potential
of Indian talent and started HealthScribe India while on a
pilgrimage to the country.

2) Acusis Recognized for Remarkable Growth in the 2006 Pittsburgh
100

Acusis was recognized at the Pittsburgh Business Times tenth
edition of the annual awards for the Pittsburgh 100. For 2006 the
100 fastest-growing privately owned companies in the greater
Pittsburgh region were ranked by percentage growth between 2003 and
2005. Acusis ranked #4 in the professional service/consulting

commemorating this achievement. "We are very proud to be honored as
one of the Pittsburgh 100 fastest growing companies. This
recognition is made possible by consistently delivering to our
customers, World Class Customer Satisfaction with quality, service

3) Fifteen secretarial jobs to go at Trust

LETTERS from consultants to patients will be typed up in India
causing 15 medical secretary posts to go. East and North
Hertfordshire NHS Trust, which runs Lister Hospital, announced this
week that the 15 full-time posts will be covered through voluntary
redundancies - involving 21 full and part-time staff.

The Trust has also confirmed the names of the two companies who
between them will provide the remote medical transcription service.
Alden and DictateIT are based in the UK although their dictation
services are based in India.

The Trust said the move is expected to save £800,000 a year once up
and running - although back in March chief executive Nick Carver
said he hoped the change would save as much as £1million.

The chosen companies will now work with a project team from the
Trust - installing the equipment and training consultants and their
medical secretaries in its use.

"We are satisfied that both companies will provide us with a highly
professional service that will work very effectively, based on a
number of set quality and security safeguards being in place. "So
not only will patients' confidentiality be maintained at all times,
letters dictated by our doctors will be typed up promptly ready for
checking.

"We believe that at significantly reduced cost to the Trust, this
new service will result in as good a service as is the case
currently."
