Medical transcription services have been assisting healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals deliver quality care on time while still maximizing revenues by creating detailed patient medical records. Patient medical records have a vital role to play in various aspects of running a healthcare facility. The information in patient medical records is primarily used for diagnostic purposes and at an operational level is used for coding & billing and risk management aspects. Though medical transcription has such a vital role to play in the operations of healthcare facilities it is a complex process requiring concentrated inputs in the form of the right team, the right process and the right technology.
Having medical transcription in-house requires major efforts from the support staff sapping their efficiency levels. Outsourcing medical transcription has been found to be a solution for not only ensuring accurate, timely, secure and cost effective creation of patient medical records but also in maximizing staff efficiency.
Given below are the areas that outsourcing medical transcription helps in maximizing staff efficiency:
Right team: Outsourcing medical transcription helps maximize staff efficiency in terms of acquiring and training the right team, which would include activities like:
- Recruitment
- Training
- Allocation of work
- Updating medical transcriptionists on the latest developments
- Supervision
Outsourcing medical transcription ensures that the burden of the healthcare facilities’ support staff in this regard is reduced to a great extent enabling them to concentrate their efforts towards the core activity of providing quality healthcare.
Right process: As medical transcription is associated with healthcare, which is a vital service, it is essential for the information captured in the patient medical record to reflect accurate information and be delivered on a timely basis. To ensure accuracy it is important to have a stringent quality process in place. This ensures that each transcript is subject to multiple level quality checks.
Maintaining turnaround time would require that the healthcare facility staff ensure timely and proper supervision of the transcription process. Outsourcing medical transcription ensures that the healthcare facility staff is relieved of these activities. Outsourcing medical transcription also ensures that the healthcare facility staff is relieved of the need to organize weekend and holiday transcription.
Right technology: Medical transcription services require the right software and tools to ensure ease of use, efficiency and security. Acquiring, deploying and maintaining the software and tools needed for transcription would have a negative impact on the efficiency of the healthcare facilities’ staff. Outsourcing medical transcription to a technologically savvy medical transcription company ensures that the healthcare facility and healthcare professionals have access to the right software and tools to ensure various benefits including:
- Dictation modes of choice
