Department of Medicine Weekly Roundup - Thursday June 8 - St. Michael's physicians required to setup Microsoft Authenticator for phone dictation by June 14
On June 14, St. Michael’s will be introducing a new tool to review and sign off on phone dictated notes. The tool, eScription One, is used at Providence and will replace 3M ESA (ChartScript), which is being phased out as the vendor ends technical support.
St. Michael’s physicians who wish to continue to dictate by phone must download and setup Microsoft Authenticator – a multi-factor authentication application – by June 14. Physicians who don’t setup the app will not be able to review and sign off on phone dictated notes once eScription One goes live.
To setup Microsoft Authenticator, please use this link and follow the instructions. Please note that you must use your Unity Health Toronto email address. Detailed setup instructions can also be found in this tip sheet. More information on eScription One will be provided next week.
As an alternative to eScription One and phone dictation, St. Michael’s physicians can choose to document notes electronically using the Digital Dictation tool (eVR) with embedded Dragon functionality. For more information on eVR, please review this video or check out the daily note guide and download instructions.
If you have any questions about Microsoft Authenticator, including how to download and setup the application, please contact the St. Michael’s HelpDesk at ext. 5751 or email [email protected]. If reaching out to the HelpDesk via email, please copy Alisha Thawer, Project Manager, at [email protected].
