Partner in Medicine Spotlight: Less time doing data entry = more patients

Physicians and health care professionals at every level face an increasing number of required tasks. Unfortunately, many of these tasks take time away from direct patient care.
Medical professionals work diligently on behalf of their patients, using every available procedure, drug, or technique to achieve the best possible outcome. Why should medical transcription be any different?
Aren’t all transcription services the same? No, and for the same reason that not all treatment protocols or providers are the same. Sure, you can always find a company that offers low prices. Yet, how do they stack up when experience, speed, and accuracy are paramount?
Isn’t AI Replacing Human Transcription?
No, not hardly. Artificial Intelligence models, especially in health care, are rapidly advancing. However, would you use a service with a 61.92 percent or a 99 percent guaranteed accuracy rate? Ditto Transcripts offers a money-back guarantee, and we stand behind our work.
Would it surprise you to know that the medical transcription field is expected to grow about 4 percent over the next several years? That’s certainly not the case for many technology fields.
Our experienced, qualified, and U.S.-based human transcriptionists are trained to listen for common and complex medical terminology. Abbreviations and scientific terms are commonly used in patient charts. Given that about 90 percent of adverse medical errors involve miscommunication at some level, misunderstanding one word, phrase, or sentence can have disastrous consequences.
Is Your Transcription Provider HIPAA Compliant?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates strict compliance guidelines regarding patient privacy. Yes, we know all too well the importance of following HIPAA and why protecting patient privacy is so critical.
Physicians and medical professionals know that violating any part of the act can result in severe penalties.
Are you 100 percent certain that your transcription service is HIPAA compliant? If not, then I recommend inquiring.
Reputable, HIPAA-compliant transcription companies should proudly promote this achievement on their websites. However, I recommend confirming a company’s HIPAA compliance by calling their home office and asking to speak with someone in senior management. If reaching a senior executive isn’t possible, then you could definitely be concerned.
Maintaining strict compliance and confidentiality standards is paramount when transcribing medical files. Why rely on any provider who doesn’t maintain the same standards that you and your staff do?
Why Choose a Quality Transcription Service?
Medical professionals spend about 15 hours per week on administrative tasks. In practical terms, that equates to almost two days of seeing patients or performing procedures. That’s precisely why a quality transcription provider should help reduce time spent on non-medical tasks.
A quality, experienced transcription company should meet all your needs at a competitive rate. In fact, a reputable company should offer a trial period so you can evaluate transcription accuracy and turnaround time, and workflow compatibility, among other factors.
Unlike other service providers, choosing the wrong transcription service can endanger a patient’s life or compromise the quality of care. That’s why all of our medical transcriptionists are U.S.-based, undergo a thorough pre-employment background check, and have experience transcribing medical files.
