Medical transcription outsourcing: Providing efficient and reliable support

The process of healthcare has always depended on quality inputs to be able to deliver quality care. One of the inputs in the process of healthcare that has remained unchanged over the years is the need to maintain records of the patient- healthcare professional encounter, though the mode of documenting the patient encounter has evolved considerably. With the advent of technology the patient records evolved from often illegible scribbles to neatly typed notes and from thereon to the current form; electronic records. As the standards for these patient medical records became stringent and the technology used for creating these records became more complex these services have evolved into specialized services requiring the right processes, the right team and the right technology to meet these criteria.

In its current form medical transcription -the process for creating patient medical records from the dictation of healthcare professionals has become a specialized service requiring dedicated resources. Considering the often-contradictory demands placed on the limited resources available to healthcare facilities, outsourcing medical transcription has become a prudent decision. Outsourcing medical transcription not only helps the healthcare facility concentrate on their core business, but also provides efficient and reliable support for the present and future medical transcription requirements of healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities
