Brief Details of the Medical Transcription field :

The practice of transcription involves an interesting pattern. As a matter of routine, doctors examine patients in hospitals, clinics and physicians' offices. They dictate important information about the patient's history, physical examination, diseases, procedures, laboratory tests and diagnoses. Since doctors normally make use of technical terms, and do that very quickly, a transcriptionist has to anticipate and record their uttering with maximum precision.

The typical process of Medical Transcription begins with receiving dictation by tape, digital system or voice data file. Conventionally, recorded advice was sent through physical means (i.e. a magnetic media). However, there is a steady emergence of a new practice.

These days some of the organizations use a toll free telephone line, doctors can call up a designated number and dictate the message, which is converted and recorded into a dedicated server on a real time basis. This helps to save shipping costs and manifolds productivity. The transcribing company connects to this server through a high speed data link (preferably Internet or ISDN link of 128Kbps or above) and downloads any fresh dictations left by customer organizations / doctors.

The transcriber department / company starts retrieving messages immediately and transcribes them, using earphones and a foot pedal for start-stop control, transcriptionists are able to hear and control the speed of audio messages.

These messages are transcribed with the help of a suitable word processing program / application. A variety of word processing programs are used as different forms of transcription / messages, some do require specific features. An out sourced or out located medical transcription centre then sends back these transcribed messages to the hub of medical transcription network from where it is routed to the concerned doctor / hospital. Most of the word processing programs used in medical transcription typically are accompanied by libraries / dictionaries of medical terminology.

These libraries are categorized based on various disciplines. Several dictionaries are used:

Recent Trends & New Technology Developments

The future looks bright for Medical Transcription as the medical practitioners' profession continues to grow and offer opportunities for growth. However due to increasing maturity and decreasing differentiation between service providers, the vendors now aim to provide value differentiation by developing special features within constant cost bracket.

It has been constantly said that medical transcription is threatened by speech recognition technology and formatted electronic records. Though at present, voice recognition software has not developed to the extent that it is in wide usage in any industry, but as this technology matures, transcriptionists will be able to use it to increase their personal productivity, rather that considering it as a threat to their jobs.

Concern has also been raised, regarding the confidentiality issues over the Internet. New regulations in the future would make it mandatory for 128-bit encryption of patient records being transmitted over the Internet to uphold security. As per certain reports, legislation will soon be passed in the US that will require state of the art security to be in place for all transmissions of medical records. USA and Europe have already signed data protection laws and it is imperative that such laws are introduced in India to maintain security and confidentiality. BUT AT THE SAME TIME IS WORTH NOTING THAT THE MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION IN INDIA, are regular updated precautions and implementations for covering up and offering secure data transfer and quality wise also we are associated with companies which are members of the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION as well.
