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 Author TransDyne is the new standard in digital medical transcription service and electronic charting.
