As healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals have started the process of adopting EMR/ EHR it has become obvious that for the goals of the adoption of this technology, like improved patient care and decreased healthcare costs to be attained there needs to be more support. Quality of information and management of this information needs to be more streamlined. One of the services that aid in this process is medical transcription. Medical transcription, the process of creating patient medical records from the dictation of healthcare professionals is a service that has been supporting healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities improve the quality of healthcare documentation, control costs and improve patient safety especially when outsourced.
Outsourced medical transcription services not only provide healthcare documentation support they also offer options to healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals for easier adoption of EMR/ EHR, which include:

Structured transcription: This method focuses on standardizing the report format based on various aspects of the specialty and other factors. Medical transcription companies provide structured transcription by training their medical transcriptionists in one or two specialties making them domain experts. Structured transcription also enables easier adoption of EMR/ EHR using HL7 interface while retaining the option to retain dictation as a mode of data collection.
Discrete reportable transcription: Discrete reportable transcription can be defined as a unique approach to adoption of EMR/ EHR, which continues to use the traditional method of transcription to create transcripts while instantly populating the EMR/ EHR with discrete data elements. Under this method once the healthcare professional has finished dictating his/her notes, transcripts are created through the usual transcription process using expert medical transcriptionists who ensure accuracy and speed. After transcription, the transcription software automatically tags the discrete data within the document, such as lab values and medications into the appropriate fields in the EMR/ EHR, using XML coding.
Back end speech recognition software: Outsourced medical transcription service providers aid in the process of speech recognition software transcription by providing editing and proof reading services for the transcripts produced by speech recognition software to bring the accuracy levels to acceptable and usable levels.
