In some situations you will want to let the transcription agency upload its files directly onto your hard drive. To do this, you can use a software program like pcAnywhere or a web-based service like GoToMyPC.
Advantages
- A direct connection eliminates the need to go through an electronic hub where your files might get lost or misdirected.
- By using a password table, you can restrict access to your computer to those people who need to upload files to you.
- By designating the download directory of your choice, files can be sent to the exact location where you want them to end up on your hard drive.
- By using a "remote control" program like pcAnywhere or a web-based service like GoToMyPC the transcription agency can take over your computer in an emergency and try to solve a technical problem from a remote location.
Disadvantages
- You must be sure that your communications program is always in "host" or "receive"mode.
- A dedicated hacker might find a way to get into your hard drive and go poking around looking for information. This could severely jeopardize the confidentiality of patient records.
