Outsourcing of Medical Transcription Duties By Michael Russell One of the largest growing sectors of the medical field is that of medical transcriptionists. Hospitals, clinics and doctors offices require the doctors’ words to be put into writing for patients’ files and other documentation purposes. In addition, a most hospitals require it to be in digital format. Hence, the need has arisen for people to translate doctors’ oral reports into digital documents.Although employed secretaries often do this job, it is quickly becoming big as an area for outsourcing. When outsourcing, the transcription can actually be done more quickly than it can in-house. This is because the outsourcing firm or individual devotes full time to the assignment, while a secretary is constantly interrupted with phone calls and other duties.In a time of growing interest in home-based businesses, these two needs have merged. Many people make a good living from their home computer typing up medical transcripts. It’s a job that pays well. However, this isn’t an easy job. Specialized training and experience are required. If you have it, you’re in demand. Recent years have shown an increase in demand for medical transcriptionists, but a smaller supply. Therefore, it’s a ripe field for the entrepreneur.As a outsourcing medical transcriptionist, you would be providing services to medical facilities of all types who outsource this activity. You don’t even have to live in close proximity, as long as you have a reliable computer and Internet connection. They will send you an audio file and you type it up, making sure each word is clear and spelled correctly. It is crucial that it be accurate, as this will serve as the doctor’s documentation. Many American and foreign companies alike are getting on board
and offering medical transcription services. In the U.S., it’s usually
existing medical companies that offer these services to other medical
facilities. Asian companies are the target of many other American
health care institutions for outsourcing their transcription needs.As
an industry, it is growing particularly quickly in India and the
Philippines, where labor costs are significantly cheaper. Some estimate
it is the 4th largest outsourcing industry in India. It’s gaining
ground in the Philippines, where it is one of the government’s top
10 priority growth sectors. It is particularly suited to this field
because of the Filipino high literacy rate, proficiency in English
and medical training.Click
