Multilevel Quality Assurance in Medical Transcription for Accurate documentation
Quality assurance in medical transcription has a crucial role in assuring quality patient care and to improve physician efficiency and productivity. Accurate documentation promotes quick and appropriate medical decision-making, and also ensures compliance and proper reimbursement. Physicians might find it very challenging to maintain the requisite quality in transcription in the midst of their busy work schedules. That’s why most healthcare providers prefer to outsource the documentation task to a professional medical transcription company. Established service providers have a stringent multilevel quality assurance system in place, which allows them to ensure high quality documentation with accuracy levels as high as 99%.
Stage I: The first checks are conducted by the medical transcriptionists themselves. After transcribing a report, they check the work with the audio and read it to clear up any ambiguities.
Stage II: In the second stage, proofreaders and medical editors, also known as Level 2 QA Analysts, take over and check quality by listening to the recording and checking for text and formatting errors. Proofreading checks can identify grammatical and textual errors, fill in missed words or phrases, ensure client-specific document formatting, and final quality checks.
Stage III: Production Manager (PM) – The duty of the Production Manager is to ensure timeliness and quality. The PM has overall responsibility for the final product and needs to approve it before delivery to the client.
Reliable service providers ensure that each client has a qualified team on the medical transcription project and also make use of the latest technology to ensure the best results. Advanced quality transcription software plays a crucial role in generating an accurate documentation. This includes electronic spelling and grammar checking systems, Stedman's electronic medical dictionary, and American Drug Index. Professional companies have superior document management systems that allow physicians to review and edit their transcribed reports and also check out quality. So take trouble in finding the right medical transcription company where a team of skilled professionals can deliver quality medical transcription services. They would be devoted to customer satisfaction and takes special care to deliver the work
in the specified turnaround time. A reliable company would offer a free trial so that potential clients can check out quality before outsourcing.
