The entire process has become more efficient
and accurate, but still requires the work
of certified medical transcriptionists
to capture the data.What Does a Medical
Transcription Company Do?A medical transcription
company may hire a team of certified medical
transcriptionists to complete various
projects, or work with home based medical
transcription service providers. Outsourced
medical transcription companies offer
many advantages and benefits over utilizing
in-house support staff such as secretaries
and administrative assistants, and most
work with a guarantee of HIPAA compliance
and high standards of accuracy.The Process
of Medical Transcription There are three
main entities involved with the medical
transcription process: the provider (a
doctor, physician, or healthcare organization
manager who has captured a conversation
or speech on an electronic device); the
transcriptionist; and the transcription
service company. The provider dictates
the information directly into a digital
recorder, phone, or other electronic device
and submits the information to the transcriptionist.
Today, this may be in the form of a secure
FTP server or other secure communication
channel such as a file attachment.The
transcriptionist then transcribes this
information into a document and sends
it to the quality control center or department
for review. If the information meets all
quality standards and is accurate, it
may be forwarded to another division of
the transcription company for final review.
When the document meets all standards
and is free of errors, it may be converted
once more into a document that the provider
can review.This entire process can be
smooth and seamless when you are working
with a technologically advanced transcription
service company, and many now offer a
variety of options for providers to submit
the necessary information. Dial-in phone
services, digital recordings,
teven web-based delivery are the key ways
to submit the information to the transcriptionist,
and the vehicle of transmission must be
completed with security in mind.The total
transcription process and delivery time
may vary depending on the medical transcription
service provider you have chosen to work
with, and the volume of work submitted.
Still, many transcriptionists work with
consistency and can turnaround projects
at a relatively steady rate.About the
