The 99% Accuracy in Medical Transcription
The accuracy of the medical record is of highest importance in guaranteeing quality care to the patient. It is a fundamental relation between patient and the healthcare provider.
Both minor errors and major errors can decrease the reliability and the apparent qualifications of the healthcare provider. Even minor errors such as typos, grammatical inconsistencies and others are being measured to determine the performance of a medical transcriptionist. Most often, an MT is expected to transcribe at least 99% correct or even better 100%.
I was touched by Touch Asia!
After I finished my medical terminology lectures and voice file transcription training at MTC Academy, I then immediately looked for an MT company that will accommodate us for the on-the-job training. Luckily, I was able to pass the application to Touch Asia Contact Solutions.
I was able to be independent with my transcription training with them. The editors and MTs were all supportive. I was trying to ask for a possible vacant position after I finished the require number of ours but at that time, there was no hiring.
The Day I Knew About Medical Transcription
It was just an ordinary day at home way back last quarter of 2004. I’ve been looking for the advertisements in Manila Bulletin as I usually do whenever I look for another job.
A good friend of mine told me about taking a look on the ads about medical transcription. Eager to get a new job that would suit my best interest, so I did browse for it. The first thing that gets my attention is that being a medical field of expertise, I believe it would be interesting. I guess when I was young, I used to think that I would like to become a doctor someday or at least become a nurse. Anyway, so I tried to read more and then decided to get inquiries on various MT schools serving an MT course.
It was a quick decision but until this day, I know it’s worth the while.
Why I Started a Medical Transcription Career?
I had thought about starting a medical transcription career and I had to hold back at first.
