Medical transcription outsourcing: Supporting patient centric healthcare

The focus of every business needs to be on the end user or the consumer. That is true in the case of services like healthcare too. Though there are numerous participants or stakeholders in the healthcare process, the patient should be the main focus of these services. Every participant in the process of delivering quality healthcare needs to keep this in mind to ensure success and profitability.
Medical transcription has become an important component in the healthcare delivery chain by helping document every step of the process in a clear and easy-to-access manner.

The process of medical transcription helps create patient medical records that fulfill all the purposes of documentation while supporting patient centric healthcare. Outsourcing medical transcription further supports patient centric healthcare by providing additional advantages.

Support provided by outsourced medical transcription services for patient centric healthcare:

• Total focus on the patient: One of the main advantages of medical transcription services is how these services conform naturally to the working style of healthcare professionals allowing them to focus on the patients rather than documenting the care process. Medical transcription encourages dictation either on familiar modes or back end speech recognition software to record the details of the patient encounter. This ensures that the healthcare professional spends minimum time on documentation and focuses totally on the patient.

• Clear and individualistic documentation: Using medical transcription as the method of documentation encourages recording the narrative portion of the patient encounter. This helps the diagnostic process by helping identify the unique medical history of the patient resulting in better clinical decision-making. This is an important tool for patients undergoing long-term treatment or those availing experimental treatments or in case of patients requiring the services of a specialist/s.

• Reducing costs: Outsourcing medical transcription also ensures that healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals save on costs. Though this does not directly have an effect on the patient centric healthcare, it does help healthcare facilities focus all their resources towards healthcare rather than medical transcription.

• Timely delivery of patient medical records: Outsourced medical transcription services ensure that quality patient medical records are delivered on time helping in the clinical decision making process. Outsourced medical transcription service providers also ensure that transcripts are delivered to multiple healthcare professionals if needed helping quicken the care process.

• HIPAA and HITECH compliance: Another major concern of patients during the care process is maintaining the security of confidential information provided by them. Outsourced medical transcription service providers ensure HIPAA and HITECH compliance throughout the medical transcription process by using the appropriate measures to secure people, processes, infrastructure and technology.
