Medical transcription outsourcing: Offering customized support

It is a known fact that information and information technology have a large role to play in the delivery of healthcare services. Medical transcription has been one of the services that have enabled creation of patient medical records in an easy, accurate, timely and secure manner. The role of medical transcription has become even more vital considering the proposed move to electronic healthcare records.

It has been found that outsourcing medical transcription is one of the most efficient and cost effective solutions to enable healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals to concentrate all their efforts on the core business of providing quality healthcare and increase revenues. Using a judicious mix of the right people skills, the right processes and the right technology, medical transcription companies offer customized support to the varied needs of the healthcare sector.

Medical transcription companies offer services customized to the specific needs of healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals that include:

Modes of dictation: Healthcare professionals have shown a marked preference for dictation as a mode for recording the details of the patient encounter. Keeping this in mind medical transcription companies have configured transcription platforms that accept various dictation modes. This ensures that the healthcare professional can continue to use the dictation device of his/ her choice.

Modes of delivery: Medical transcription companies have also provided healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals various options with regard to modes of document delivery in a convenient, speedy and secure manner. This ensures that healthcare professionals can access the transcripts easily as per their requirement

Specialty transcription: Due to their vast experience in having served the needs of the healthcare sector, medical transcription companies are aware of the transcription needs of each specialty. This has enabled them to provide accurate transcription services for each specialty with customized report formats/ templates etc.

Turnaround time: The turnaround time requirements for the delivery of transcripts could vary according to various factors. Keeping this in mind, medical transcription companies offer healthcare professionals various turnaround time options, which they can specify depending on the requirements of the situation

Option to use speech recognition software: With the move towards the adoption of EMR/ EHR many healthcare professionals have started using speech recognition software to create transcripts. However the transcripts delivered using this software do not meet accuracy standards. Medical transcription companies provide editing and proofreading services for such transcripts to ensure that they meet the required accuracy standards.

Discrete reportable transcription: Medical transcription companies have used the right software & tools combined with HL7 interface to ensure that the relevant data elements are populated in the EMR/ EHR system.

Choosing and outsourcing medical transcription to a professional and reliable medical transcription company can ensure customized solutions that meet the specific needs of the healthcare facility and healthcare professionals.
