Healthcare as a service though essential and vital easily lends itself to chaos due to the variability of the requirement for this service. Often times neither patients nor healthcare professionals are able to plan the healthcare process ahead of time, as emergency situations do not lend themselves to planning. Keeping this in mind the approach to successfully managing any healthcare facility is to ensure that the support systems take on a systematic approach ensuring that healthcare professional and other support staff are in a position to deal with varied situations as they may arise.
Having an outsourced medical transcription service provider support the medical transcription needs of the healthcare facility helps in taking on a systematic approach to managing healthcare information. Partnering with a committed, technologically savvy and professional medical transcription company as a partner for the patient medical record creation needs provides the following benefits:
• A systematic approach to collection of information: The data for creating the patient medical record is generated from the patient- healthcare professional encounter. Over the years healthcare professionals have shown a marked preference for dictation as a mode of capturing this information. Medical transcription companies provide healthcare professionals not only the option to retain dictation as the means of collecting information, but also allow them to use dictation devices of their choice. Furthermore medical transcription service providers also make provisions for this data to be automatically transmitted for transcription by programming the upload system to automatically transmit this data at periodic intervals ensuring delays in transcription are minimized
• Professional transcription ensuring quality: Once the audio files have been collected and transmitted to the medical transcription company premises, these files are allotted to specialty trained medical transcriptionists based on the nature of work. After transcription, each transcript is put through a multiple level quality process to ensure maximum accuracy. Medical transcription service providers also provide professional editing and proofreading services for transcripts created by speech recognition software to ensure acceptable accuracy levels
• Customized templates/ formats: Each specialty of medicine has their report template/ format. Moreover there could be variations on this depending on the preference of healthcare professionals. Medical transcription service providers provide transcripts as per the customization specified by the healthcare facility. The specifications of each healthcare professional / healthcare facility are systematically noted and transcripts are created according to the specifications.
• Turnaround time options: Another aspect that is streamlined by outsourcing medical transcription is the turnaround time. Medical transcription companies offer various turnaround time options to healthcare professionals, which help them have access to information depending on their requirement. For e.g. Emergency situation require shorter turnaround time than normal situations.
• Diverse document delivery modes: Medical transcription companies also offer document delivery mode options, which are customized to the specifications of healthcare professionals /healthcare facilities. Options like delivery to specific folders, automatic print options, delivery to more than one healthcare professional etc are offered.
• HL7 interface: Medical transcription service providers also offer Hl7 interface for EMR/ EHR adoption while still retaining the dictation-transcription method of documenting the patient encounter.
It can be concluded that outsourcing medical transcription needs to a professional medical transcription service provider provides a systematic approach to healthcare documentation.
