Medical transcription outsourcing: Helping create records with veritable information

Information has a vital role to play in healthcare, as healthcare is a complicated and often time-consuming process. Information in case of the healthcare process is collected from various sources. However one of the main sources of information is from the patient- healthcare professional encounter. This information is often collected in dictation form and needs to be transcribed into text format to be easily accessible and understandable. Medical transcription is the process of converting the dictation of the patient- healthcare professional encounter into textual format. The transcription process benefits from being outsourced to a professional medical transcription company, as accurate, timely, secure and cost effective creation of patient medical records requires intense focus of time and investment.

Outsourcing medical transcription ensures proper documentation of the patient encounter, providing veritable information.  Medical transcription companies are able to help in the creation of patient medical records having veritable information due the following factors:

·        Influencing the dictation practices of healthcare professionals: The data for the information in the patient medical record originates from the healthcare professionals’ end. Medical transcription companies provide healthcare professionals with the choice to retain the dictation device of their choice; this ensures that healthcare professionals are comfortable and familiar with their dictation device thus helping improve quality of audio. Moreover medical transcription companies provide constant feedback to healthcare professionals regarding the quality of dictation offering them tips to improve quality. The improved quality of audio ensures that the quality of information captured in the records is genuine.

·        Availability of specialty trained medical transcriptionists: Another important factor that influences the quality of transcription is the quality of the medical transcriptionists working on it. Medical transcription companies have refined their recruitment processes to ensure that the best talent is recruited. They also have a rigorous training process in place to ensure that medical transcriptionists are trained to develop their innate talent to produce quality work.  Moreover medical transcriptionists are given training in specific specialties making them domain experts, which further enhances their capacity to produce quality transcription.

·        Process of ensuring quality: Medical transcription companies have a stringent quality process in place to ensure that each transcript meets the highest accuracy standards possible. Each transcript is subject to a rigorous quality process involving multiple quality checks to ensure minimum errors.

·        Experience and expertise: Apart from having the right team and the right process in place, medical transcription service providers also process the right experience and expertise to provide customized solutions to the changing needs of healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities.
