Medical transcription: Excellence through proactive solutions

Medical transcription plays a vital role in the healthcare process both operationally as well as commercially. Medical transcription converts the audio records of the patient-healthcare professional encounter into a text format, this ensures that the health information regarding a patient is available to the healthcare professional in a timely manner instead of having to rely on resources like hand written notes or memory.

Commercially, medical transcription is the first step in the accounts receivables cycle. Having the medical records transcribed in an accurate and timely manner helps speed up the receivables cycle.

Through the various stages of evolution of the process of creating records of the patient-healthcare professional encounter, medical transcription has played a vital role in anticipating the needs of healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities, and created proactive solutions. Whether it is the limited time available to the healthcare professionals or the need of a healthcare facility to easily retrieve health records of a patient through a powerful archival system, medical transcription service providers have always anticipated the needs of healthcare facilities and come up with solutions to meet these needs.

How does outsourced medical transcription provide proactive solutions to the documentation needs of a healthcare facility?

By saving time: Outsourced medical transcription services save time of healthcare facilities at various levels.

1.     Saving time of healthcare professionals: Time is perhaps one of the scarcest commodities available to healthcare professionals. Outsourced medical transcription services help healthcare professionals to optimize their time by allowing them to use flexible modes of dictation. High accuracy of documents in the transcribed documents ensure that healthcare professionals do not have to spend time going through records and correcting them. Moreover by providing healthcare professionals with powerful archival systems less time is spent on tracing files of patients.

2.     Saving time of healthcare facilities administrative staff: The administration of a healthcare facility would have conflicting demands on their time.  By outsourcing medical transcription, a healthcare facility administration can save on time that would otherwise have been spent organizing medical transcription. Time spent on activities such as recruiting medical transcription staff, collecting dictation and distributing finished transcripts etc. would be saved.

By saving resources: Outsourced medical transcription brings about saving of resources like space, overheads, utilities, working capital, management resources, Information technology, transcription equipment etc.

By cutting costs: One of the most valuable contributions of outsourced medical transcription is the saving of costs. Not only does outsourcing medical transcription bring down the cost per line of transcription, but it also brings down associated costs like extra payment for weekend & holiday transcription, wastage due to idle transcription capacity during slack times etc.

While outsourcing the medical transcription needs of a healthcare facility care should be taken to evaluate the medical transcription service provider not only on the basis of criteria like accuracy, turnaround time, pricing, security and technology used, but also on the capacity of the medical transcription service provider to anticipate the needs of a healthcare facility and be proactive in finding solutions.
