How Medical Transcription Works

MEDTRANS JOBS

How Medical Transcription Works



Many of the medical facilities outsource transcription for
various reasons. For the convenience of the physicians and
hospitals, most of the transcription service providers will have
a wide variety of options to send us the dictations and to
receive transcriptions: Toll free telephone lines Digital and
cassette tape hand held recorders Dictation servers
Transcriptions via secure e-mail, secure file transfer protocol
or website data bank Transcriptions via fax or remote internet
printer



Dictation on toll free telephone lines: This is a
dedicated computerized system that allows the physicians to call
in from any phone, including cellular, and dictate. Once the
toll free number is dialed voice prompts will guide through the
process, which will enable the physicians to dictate. Each
physician will be given a unique id. Many dial-n-dictate
programs are very physician-friendly and prompts are given for
each step. For the convenience of the physicians facilities like
rewind, replay, save, abort, fast forward etc are also
available. The chances of losing dictations are very remote
eliminating the need for re-dictation.





Digital hand held recorders: If the physician does not
want to dial the numbers every time and do not want to be bound
to a phone, digital hand held recorder is the best alternative.





A digital voice recorder is smaller or about the same size of an
hand-held tape recorder and is operated like one.

Voice is recorded on internal / removable memory cards like
those used in digital cameras. Each card can take up to 10 hours
of dictation. It can be plugged into a computer interface and
the voice can be sent to the transcription company via Internet.
The voice can be saved into the computer or deleted so that the
card can be reused. One can continue to record on another card
if one is full. Hence waiting for the files to transfer if
avoided. By keeping a few cards available, physician can record
wherever and whenever required.





It is very easy and takes very little time to remove the card
from the recorder, insert it into a computer interface and
transfer the files via Internet.

Most important point to remember is, all the transfers should be
secure and appropriate HIPAA compliant file transfer program has
to be selected like secure ftp, secure email





Dictation servers The transcription service provider can
log into the hospital dictation server if the hospital is
already having one.

Alternatively, inexpensive computer programs are available.
Physician can directly dictate to the computer using a wireless
or wired microphone. The transcription service
provider
can access these dictations.





Getting back the Transcriptions Transcribed records can
be received by one of the following options: As an email
attachment. However the email service should be secure and HIPAA
compliant.

Transcriptions can be received via fax or remote internet
printer by which docuemtns are directly printed by the transcription service
provider
at the physician's end. Transcriptions can be
downloaded from the secure ftp site provided by the medical
transcription service provider.

Some of the transcription
service providers
like Vision Infonet will have online data
servers. Physicians can access these servers through a browser
to:

- Search, view and secure download the transcriptions anytime -
Transcriptions can be edited and saved online. - Respective
voice file can be played while editing - Electronic signature
can be added. - Automatic faxing the transcriptions can be done

What are Good Medical Transcription Schools?

MEDTRANS JOBS



Most survey reports about the job opportunities like the recent one of Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics show that there is tremendous demand of medical transcription professionals and what is more it tends to go further up inspite of current economic crisis. As a result, a sudden growth of medical transcription training is being felt all over the world. So, neither we have shortage of schools nor the aspiring candidates. But the major problem is to identify the best suitable school to complete medical transcription course. After conducting a good research over this issue, I succeeded to rope in some parameters that will help you all to judge the standards and job market rank of short listed medical transcription schools.




Good medical transcription schools have comprehensive curriculum that is designed by experienced medical transcription professionals. Curriculum of these medical transcription schools is updated every year after analyzing the trend of the medical transcription job market. This practice leaves no voids in the curriculum as a result students comes out of medical transcription school completely trained to face the challenges posed by fast changing trends of health care industry. Good schools include all the relevant topics like physiology, human anatomy, medical terminology, abbreviations and disease processes etc also in their MTcourse. So, the students start working with confidence delivering error free results that makes a smooth way of progress for them.





Just obtaining a degree from medical transcription school serves no purpose unless it is backed with much needed practical experience. Selected medical transcription school must have strong focus upon practical application because in this field text knowledge without hands on experience is of no use. Without using medical transcription skill, you wouldn't know the nature of the problems that arise while working as professional. That's why; good medical transcription schools don't award MT certificate or degree unless one satisfies the faculty with competency level. To improve expected competency level and expertise, completion of internship or training period within school is made part of the medical transcription course.





Before joining any medical transcription school, it is must to know and confirm the job placement record of previous years. The best way is to get some references and talk directly with the previous students. Another way, to judge the creditability of MT school is to keep an eye upon the recruiters and their preferences of schools.


Though most of the medical transcription courses are not too much costly but even then you must be sure enough about the available financial aid.

Work From Home Medical Transcription

MEDTRANS JOBS


Everyone related to MT field has seen dramatic growth and tremendous changes in this industry during past few yrs. Demand of MT professionals qualified from reputed medical transcription trainings went up almost 15% and is expected to go up in the same fashion during the forthcoming few yrs. During the last few yrs, MT field also emerged as the most favorite home based business option. Many men or women who couldn't afford to go outside of home because of personal vivid reasons entered in to this field after getting requisite MT qualification from online medical transcription trainings and registered significant growth that inspired many to follow their steps. But, is it so easy to step into successful MT professional's shoes? Or is doing the most demanded medical transcription course from a reputed institute is the surety of success? I will say-no.


Before starting career in MT field, it is must to analyze personal likings, capabilities and preferences. MT has many branches too choose from. Some of those are: discharge summaries, consultation reports, medical history examination reports, autopsy reports, operation analysis reports, progress notes, diagnostic studies and referral letters etc. Anyone or the set of many can be selected as per personal preference, all have same potential and rest depends upon individual's efforts. Before starting MT career, one needs enough experience so that he could serve the clients with error free time bound services in one go in a professional way. In this business clients don't allow you to try again or to correct errors. So, there is no scope of saying sorry.

For getting orders for home based MT business, one needs the MT degree awarded by a reputed medical transcription training. The reputation of medical transcription training matters a lot in personal profile. Association with some renowned medical centers is also must to attract clients. Working as volunteer or as a trainee with some social institution or health care center catering MT services to international clients is the best way to tackle this hurdle. Existing and previous client list also plays major role in influencing the client to place order in favor of personal home based MT centre. To remain in the main race, it is must to invest some efforts daily in marketing of self. A good database of clients absorbs the surges of low work pressure and the earning level remains same.


Getting success in home based MT business is long term affair and nobody can achieve the success overnight. Success and expansion in home based MT business largely depend upon the references forwarded by satisfied clients. If budget allows, launching a website for publicity is also a good idea.

The Future of Medical Transcription

By: Ollie Style

It is projected that the demand for medical transcriptionist will grow dramatically in the next few years this is partly because of the aging population. The majority of our older generation would need to go to physician's offices or hospitals for their medical check-ups or other medical procedures thus increasing the records to be encoded which will in turn increase the records to be transcribed by professional medical transcriptionists, which means more jobs for the trained or experienced medical transcriber.


There is also a need to put the medical records online in order for doctors to easily access their patients records and if there is a need for another institution to access the medical records of a patient it would be easier to pull them out from the world wide web when medical records are encoded online or through the intranet. That is why medical transcriptionists will be very busy listening and transcribing thousands of medical records year in and year out.
