University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust will introduce the WinScribe digital dictation system, along with workflow technology and speech recognition.

The system will be integrated with the trust's IPM patient administration system, which will insert patient and hospital information to Word templates, saving further time for typists transcribing recordings.

The trust looked at each of the six systems offered under Yorkshire and Humber Commercial Procurement Collaborative's framework agreement for digital dictation services, awarded last August, which is open to 40% of trusts in England, and which was used for this deal.

SRC said it was not disclosing the value of the contract, but said that the new system will be used by hundreds of staff.
