Medical transcription outsourcing: Providing quality support for recurring needs

Given the criticality of healthcare services it is important that the quality of services delivered meet the highest standards possible. To be able to deliver quality services consistently the healthcare sector depends on quality inputs the primary being the qualifications, skills and experience of healthcare professionals and other support staff. Apart from this and other core contributors to the care process, one other recurring input that needs to meet quality standards on a consistent basis is information from patient medical records. Information from patient medical records is essential for not only delivering quality care but also for commercial and operational aspects.

Medical transcription is one of the most time-tested and preferred methods of documenting the care process. As medical transcription is a process, which benefits from being outsourced it makes it an ideal support for providing quality support on a recurring basis. Outsourced medical transcription services provide quality support on a recurring basis including factors like:

  • Consistent accuracy levels: Services provided by outsourced medical transcription companies constantly meet quality standards for recurrent transcription needs. To cope with the recurring and often varying demands for quality transcription, service providers are constantly sourcing and recruiting the best talent and training them to hone their skills. Medical transcription companies also establish processes in place to ensure quality standards are met with consistently.
  • Meeting turnaround time requirements: With the recurring demands for medical transcription needs it is important for the transcripts to be delivered to healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals within the specified turnaround time. Medical transcription service providers strive to consistently meet turnaround time deadlines by using skilled medical transcriptionists, advanced technology and efficient processes.
  • Security: Another factor that is a recurring concern while outsourcing medical transcription is that of maintaining HIPAA and HITECH compliant standards for security of confidential patient information. Medical transcription service providers provide for this recurrent requirement by ensuring secure standards for technology, processes and infrastructure.
  • Cost: As the need for medical transcription is a constantly recurring one, it is important to control cost of transcription. Outsourcing medical transcription ensures that the cost of transcription is reduced by 40% and also curbs indirect costs of transcription. Curbing recurring cost of transcription results in healthier bottom line in the long run.
The conclusion here can be that the medical transcription needs of healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals are of a recurring nature. It is important to partner with a medical transcription company who can provide quality support consistently for recurring needs including additional services like HL7 interface for EMR/ EHR adoption, editing and proofreading services for speech recognition software transcripts etc.
