Medical transcription outsourcing: Creating a robust setup for healthcare

With the pressures on the healthcare sector to meet all the expectations of various stakeholders it has becoming increasingly difficult for healthcare facilities to cope with the increasing and often contradictory demands placed on them. In this scenario it is very important for healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities to have a robust setup for all non-healthcare related activities. One such factor essential for the smooth running of healthcare facilities in many aspects is information from patient medical records. One of the easiest and cost-effective methods of documenting the care process is medical transcription.

Though medical transcription is one of the most suited methods of documenting the care process, it requires the right inputs in the form of the right team and the right technology. It also requires efforts in the form of the right processes for quality and security. The easy solution to ensure quality medical transcription is to outsource the entire process to a professional medical transcription company.

This not only ensures accurate, timely, secure and cost effective transcription services it also ensures a robust setup for healthcare to function effectively. Outsourcing medical transcription provides the basis for a robust back office setup by providing the following:

• Dependable service: One of the main benefits of partnering with the right medical transcription service provider is that the healthcare facility and healthcare professionals can rely on the service to be dependable in terms of turnaround time and security. This ensures that the information required by healthcare professionals for clinical decision-making and the other staff at the healthcare facility have access to information for various other purposes like coding, billing and other purposes. Outsourcing to a professional and technologically savvy medical transcription company also ensure HIPAA and HITECH compliance throughout the transcription process,

• Technology support: Technology has a large role to play in the medical transcription process from the start of the process- collection of information to the end – delivery of transcripts. Moreover due to the changing healthcare documentation scenario it becomes imperative for healthcare facilities to upgrade their technology base.  Partnering with the right medical transcription company can help in meeting these latest requirements like adoption of EMR/ EHR, using HL7 interface.

• Flexible: One of the foremost advantages of outsourcing medical transcription apart from the obvious cost saving benefit is that of flexibility. It is almost impossible for healthcare facilities to predict the volume of patients making it difficult to plan transcription needs. Moreover medical transcription needs during the holidays and weekends is impossible to plan. Outsourcing medical transcription helps in this aspect by meeting all the changing needs of the healthcare facility

• Quality: Outsourcing medical transcription has the major advantage of catering to the varying needs of healthcare professionals without compromising on the quality. This includes all the factors that form part of quality transcription.

It can be concluded that partnering with the right medical transcription company provides healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals a robust setup for effective functioning.
