In this blog I want to share some tips for medical transcriptions. For medical transcription, the three most important factors needed to evaluate when choosing a dictation service are turnaround time, accuracy, and security.
What do you mean by Turnaround time?
The standard dictation service offers 24 to 48 hour turnaround. Many also offer STAT service, which provides 1, 2, or 4 hour turnaround.
• How does time of day force the delivery plan? If you submit your dictation at 8 pm for STAT transcription, will it get the immediate attention you need? Or will it be queued up until the following morning?
• How do they backup their guarantee? If they return transcriptions late, do they give you a discount?
• Do different types of notes have different times?
What is the mean of Accuracy?
Inaccurate medical transcriptions are worse than no medical transcriptions at all: serious mistakes can endanger patients’ comfort or put at risk legal agreements.The dictation service you choose should employ transcriptionists with significant expertise in this field, as well as quality assurance (QA) staffers to double check your medical transcripts before they’re released is must.
What is Security?
For web-based announcement, the industry standard for safety is 128-bit SSL security. If the dictation service uses another method of communication, ask what steps they take to make sure it’s secure. Transfer unencrypted files over regular email is not a secure method of transferring your audio files or the resulting medical transcription.
After analyzing all these three steps you can choose your medical transcription services provider.
