Medical transcription outsourcing: Creating clear and consistent documentation

The need for clear and consistent documentation has always been felt in many service based businesses - especially healthcare. Healthcare is a process that requires the total dedication of healthcare professional and other resources to enable the delivery of quality care on time. One of the services that aid healthcare professionals in arriving at the right decision for the care process is medical transcription. Medical transcription services have helped healthcare professionals by clearly documenting the care process ensuring consistent capture of information without hindering the care process.

Medical transcription services, especially when outsourced to a reliable and technologically savvy medical transcription company can result in clear and consistent documentation. Outsourced medical transcription services ensures clarity and consistency by using their experience with the healthcare industry and their expertise in assimilating the right team, the right team and the right technology to provide immaculate services.

Clear and consistent medical transcription is essential to ensure that all the participants in the healthcare process can have access to the right information on a timely basis.  Some of the advantages of clear and consistent healthcare documentation are:

Timely care: Timely information that is clear and consistent is vital to ensure quality care on a timely basis. Medical transcription companies ensure this by using a combination of the best medical transcriptionists and stringent quality processes. Information is made available in the format specified by the healthcare professional and delivered by the mode specified. This ensures that when the care process requires more than one healthcare professional all of the participants have access to information.

Better reimbursements: It is a well-known fact that accurate healthcare documentation is the basis for reimbursements. By ensuring that all the vital information is captured clearly and consistently, outsourced medical transcription companies ensure accurate coding and billing leading to better reimbursements. Moreover timely transcription also ensures a better revenue cycle.

Better collections: Having clear and consistent documentation also ensures better collection from patients for the amount that is not paid by Insurance. Medical transcription companies ensure clear and consistent documentation is available to ensure this

Protection against litigation: In an increasing litigious atmosphere clear and consistent documentation has a vital role to play in risk management. Medical transcription companies ensure this by ensuring patient medical records are created along with the narrative portion to ensure better documentation.

Others: Apart from all the advantages of accurate, timely and cost effective services, outsourced medical transcription also ensures easy adoption of EMR/ EHR using discrete reportable transcription and HL7 interface.

It can be concluded that medical transcription services have a large role to play in creating clear and consistent healthcare documentation, while still ensuring HIPAA and HITECH compliant transcription at reasonable costs.
