In recent times there has been a lot of focus on how the process of healthcare is documented; the aim being having a national level electronic health information system, which helps easy access to information across the entire nation. However the mode of achieving this national level electronic health system has given raise to a lot of questions and doubts. Many methods of capturing the information have been proposed ranging from using front end/ back end speech recognition software, point & click entry by the healthcare professional at the point of care etc.

Healthcare facilities can derive maximum benefit from medical transcription by outsourcing the entire process to a professional medical transcription service provider.
