Outsourced medical transcription services have provided important support to the healthcare process by effectively taking over the process of documenting the patient- healthcare professional encounter. This has helped healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals focus on what is essentially their core business; that of providing quality healthcare while still maintaining a healthy bottom-line. Outsourced medical transcription services not only provide accurate, timely, secure and cost effective services, but also ensure that the workflow of the healthcare professionals is disrupted to the minimum level possible.
How do outsourced medical transcription service providers help minimize disruption to healthcare professionals' workflow?
Working closely with the healthcare sector, over the years medical transcription service providers have developed considerable expertise regarding the work life of healthcare professionals. Combining this knowledge with resources like the right technology, the right team and the right processes has enabled them to develop medical transcription solutions that blend in intuitively with the workflow of healthcare professionals.
Some of the solutions developed by outsourced medical transcription service providers that help in minimizing disruption of the healthcare professionals' workflow are:
- Remote services: Outsourced medical transcription service providers have essentially removed the necessity of having medical transcriptionists in the physical premises of the healthcare facility. This helps in not only saving resources like space, utilities etc. it also facilitates HIPAA / HITECH compliance by ensuring minimum contact of the medical transcriptionist with the patient.
- Easy to use technology: Outsourced medical transcription service providers have used software and tools for transcription, which provide multiple benefits while still remaining easy to use. This helps healthcare professionals draw benefits from this technology without having to go through an extensive training program or making too many changes in their work style.
- Flexible modes of dictation: As time is a scare commodity for healthcare professionals, medical transcription service providers have allowed them to dictate using devices they are familiar with. This has helped them optimize their time to improve productivity
- Document delivery modes: Outsourced medical transcription service providers have provided multiple options for document delivery like delivery of transcripts to specified folders, providing copies of the transcript to multiple users, remote printing/ faxing etc. This has helped not only the healthcare professionals but also the support staff.
- Editing and proofreading services for speech recognition software transcription: Many healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities have heavily invested in speech recognition software, but have found accuracy of transcripts produced by this method below acceptable levels. Outsourced medical transcription service providers provide editing and proofreading services for healthcare professionals using this speech recognition software, to bring the accuracy levels up to acceptable levels
- Adoption of EMR using HL7 interface: Outsourced medical transcription service providers have enabled healthcare professionals to retain their preferred method of documenting the patient encounter; dictation-to-transcription, while still enabling adoption of EMR/EHR using HL7 interface.
- Archives: Outsourced medical transcription service providers have even made searching for older transcripts easier by providing archive facilities from which older transcripts can be searched using different criteria.
It can be concluded that the right medical transcription service provider can help minimize disruptions to the healthcare professionals’ workflow and enhance efficiency.
