What Is Medical
Transcription? Submitted By: Greg Heslin In recent years the medical
field has been going to great lengths to provide ways for doctors
to spend more quality time with their patients and less time doing
paperwork and updating files. To hone in on this problem the medical
transcription profession was created.Medical transcriptionists, MTs,
originally served as secretaries to medical professionals who dictated
detailed patient information. The MTs in turn spent hours retyping
the dictation on typewriters in order to document it in the patients’
permanent files. Over the years, however, there has been an abundance
of modern technology created to make the MT’s job easier and
more accurate. Typewriters have been replaced with high-tech analog
recorders
phone diction systems that allow medical professionals to dictate
what they want included in the records. According to the U.S. Department
of Labor, doctors can dictate patient histories, operation reports,
autopsy reports, progress notes, referral letters, and other documents
for MTs to transcribe. After the dictation process is complete,
the medical transcriptionists listen to the information and write
everything in a clear and grammatically correct fashion, making
the files easier to read and understand. The MTs then send the document
back to the professional who dictated it to review and revise the
document before signing off for its completion. After this process
is complete, the final revised copy will become part of the patient’s
permanent record.
If the process is done correctly the files will be more easily accessible
and accurate and will, in turn, help medical offices and hospitals
run more smoothly. It is important that doctors and medical
transcriptionists establish a strong working relationship and
have constant communication for the process to be successful. The
doctors must be meticulous in their recordings, making sure to speak
clearly and include every piece of information needed for the patient’s
file. If there are any errors, not only will the physician’s
and transcriptionist’s jobs be in danger, but the patient may
receive the wrong medication or diagnosis. Unfortunately, there are
many physicians who simply choose not to review their dictations Click
