Medical transcription outsourcing : Providing the right kind of support

Medical transcription has always played an important role in the healthcare process by creating patient records. Patient records are essential to the smooth running of healthcare facilities, aiding in both the operational and commercial aspects. Medical transcription services aid in the operational aspects by providing  healthcare professionals a longitudinal record of the patient's health history. Medical transcription aids in the commercial aspects by providing the base for coding and billing.

Though medical transcription is an integral contributor to the smooth running of healthcare it is not part of the core competence of the healthcare facility. One easy fix to ensure that quality patient records are created on time in a cost effective manner without having dilute the focus of the healthcare facility is to outsource medical transcription to a professional medical transcription service provider. 

Outsourcing medical transcription provides healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals seamless services which benefits them in the following:

è Cost: One of the main benefits of outsourcing medical transcription is that of the enormous savings on cost of transcription. Outsourcing medical transcription basically converts the fixed costs incurred by the healthcare facilities on medical transcription  into variable costs. This ensures that healthcare facilities end up paying only to the extent they have used the medical transcription services. This automatically reduces the cost burden of the healthcare facilities.

Another major saving is the reduction in the actual cost per line of transcription. The    economies of scale, the superior training methods used by the medical transcription          service provider, the technology used by the service provider and the best practices    established by the service provider reduce the cost per line and this benefits the           healthcare facility by helping them save substantially on costs.
         
è Convenience: Outsourcing medical transcription is a very convenient solution for healthcare facilities seeking to create timely and accurate patient records without affecting the efficient running of their operations. Some of the convenient solutions offered by outsourced medical transcription service providers are:

1.     Retaining current modes of dictation

2.     Convenient, speedy, secure modes of document delivery

3.     Easy to use technology with numerous benefits

4.     Easy integration with EMR

5.     Seamless transition to outsourced services without much change in the way the healthcare facility operates.

è Customized solutions: Outsourcing medical transcription ensures that the services are customized to suit the specific needs of the healthcare facility/ healthcare professionals . There are various factors that affect the scope of transcription services required. Factors like varied turnaround time requirements, reports in specific templates/formats, modes of document delivery,  frequency of upload of dictation, integrating with the existing systems used by the healthcare facility, speech recognition transcription, the need for customer service backup and even the type of contract would be customized to suit the specific requirements of the healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals
