Medical transcription outsourcing: Providing practical solutions

The practice of medicine requires focus and concentration apart from the knowledge and skills acquired through education. Because of the complexity involved in practicing medicine it is vital that the healthcare process be supported by easy to use, practical services. One of the aspects that provide practical solutions to healthcare is medical transcription. Medical transcription is the process of creating patient medical records from the dictation of the healthcare professional regarding the patient encounter.

Given below are some of the practical solutions offered by medical transcription services:

Remote services: Due to the intense nature of healthcare services it is important for healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals to concentrate on the core business of providing care. Diverting resources like space, capital, time etc on non-core activities like medical transcription can not only dilute focus but also affect the bottom line adversely. Medical transcription companies provide practical solutions for this aspect by providing remote services, which not only ensure quality transcription but also ensure substantial savings on direct and indirect cost of transcription.

Saving on time: As time is a scarce resource for healthcare professionals as well as other support staff, outsourcing medical transcription provides a practical solution of a one-stop shop for transcription needs that helps conserve time. Outsourced medical transcription resources not only conserve time spent on the actual transcription process but also conserve time on other related activities.

Easy upload: Outsourcing medical transcription provides an easy solution for collection of information regarding the patient encounter by allowing dictation as a mode of collecting information. Outsourced medical transcription companies further help in this aspect by allowing healthcare professionals to use dictation devices of their choice and arranging for automatic upload of dictation files for transcription.

Document delivery: Another practical solution provided by medical transcription companies is also arranging for finished transcripts to be delivered to healthcare professionals through mode of their choice in a quick and secure manner. Medical transcription companies also arrange for delivery to more than one healthcare professional helping the healthcare facilities’ support staff save on efforts

Coping with technological developments: Transcription companies have also adjusted their services to help healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities cope with technological developments like speech recognition software and EMR/ EHR by providing editing and proofreading services for speech recognition software and HL7 interface for EMR adoption.

It can be concluded that outsourcing medical transcription can provide healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals with practical solutions for transcription needs while ensuring quality, speed, ease of use and cost savings.
