Advantages of Medical Transcription Improves ease-of-use: Dictation and medical transcription fits into the physician’s workflow and can meet the needs of physicians who dictate during the patient encounter, in between patients, or at the end of the day. Physician can provide comprehensive information faster and, unlike speech recognition software, medical transcription delivers better quality documentation by having additional quality checks. Helps improve co-ordination between members of patient care; Dictation and medical transcription simplifies the informal description of the patient story, letting healthcare professionals to capture necessary facts which are not easily expressed in distinct data points. Expedites physician and patient communication: Possibly most highly, letting the physician to dictate without getting rid of sitting and using computer removes the complication that documenting straight into the EHR can place between the physician and the patient. Apart from benefits to physician, I would like to add to the value of medical transcription: medical transcribers can surge practicality of medical information by being the expert human behind the authentication of new technologies. Making sure that we use complete knowledge and skills of a Medical transcriber, we contribute to physician’s approval and documentation quality, while allowing providers to understand the extreme return on costly technology investments. Natural Language Processing (NLP) and its ability to created discrete, encoded data from narrative information, is unique and correct to some extent; but what is often omitted is argument about the authentication process required to confirm accuracy of results. NLP is not correct, the statement that NLP is direct and effortless solution to solve all our problems is misguided. Needful effort on part of physician to validate results of NLP is not the answer. Skilled medical transcriber may be the person in the documentation workflow who can fill this gap, becoming a Healthcare Documentation Specialist; a knowledge-based worker, not a “transcriber” of documents. The Healthcare Documentation Specialist adds value to NLP-driven technology by: •Authenticating that the NLP has properly captured the discrete data elements as well as the document structure before attempting to upload to the EHR or exchange through an HIE. By authenticating that the contents of document and concepts such as medications and allergies are correctly encoded, the Healthcare Documentation Specialist prevents errors in the EHR. •Authenticating encryption of clinical contents before the document gets to a coder or clinical documentation specialist.
