Medical transcription (MT) is the manual processing of voice reports dictated by physicians and other healthcare professionals into text format. The electronic health record (EHR) or electronic medical record (EMR) system at the hospital typically receives the digitally prepared and filed transcribed medical reports. A person's medical history, symptoms, examination findings, diagnostic test results, treatment plan, and other aspects of their care are all documented in their medical records. They are essential for interprofessional communication and care continuity. Insurance coverage issues or even treatment and care problems may result from flaws in medical records. Legal requirements require carers to keep complete and accurate records on every patient. Medical transcriptionists collaborate with healthcare professionals to ensure that every visit is recorded in order to have a thorough record of the diagnosis, the recommended course of treatment, and any necessary follow-up care.
Duties involved in a medical transcription service
- Transcribe the voice recordings of a patient's medical history for a variety of medical specialties including radiology, acute care and oncology
- Interpret medical data, classify information from notes, patient records, operation reports, consultations, and discharge summaries
- To assure the precision of medical terminology and improve patient care, review and revise the transcription produced by speech recognition software, etc.
