Outsourcing medical transcription ensures accurate and timely EHR-integrated documentation solutions for psychiatry practices. People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. Psychiatrists are specially trained to recognize the complex relationship between mental and physical health and the links with genetics and family history. They evaluate patient data to arrive at a diagnosis and provide patients with customized treatment plans.

Many people experience mental health problems at work. According to a recent study, people who are dissatisfied with their jobs in their 20s and 30s can end up with poor overall health and emotional problems by the time they reach their early 40s. Researchers at the Ohio State University evaluated data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY1979). The participants were between 14-22 years when the research began.

The participants rated their job satisfaction level from 1 (dislike very much) to 4 (like very much). The results were classified as: consistently low job satisfaction (45 percent), consistently high job satisfaction (15 percent), started high but trending down (23 percent), and started low but trending up (17 percent).

All the respondents were found to have several health issues after they reached the 40. The consistently high job satisfaction group was used as a control and their issues were compared with the other groups. In addition to lower scores on mental measures, those in the consistently low satisfaction group were found to have much levels of depression, sleep problems, and excessive worry.

Dealing with patients who are psychologically distressed is a challenging task for psychiatrists. They have to formulate treatments and activities to ensure physical and psychological safety, provide necessary medical care, and make provisions for self-care and recovery. Other aspects of psychiatric management include providing education about different types of stress, improving treatment adherence, evaluating and managing physical health and functional problems, and collaborating with other clinicians to coordinate care.

They also have to maintain proper documentation and this is where support from a reliable medical transcription company can prove invaluable.
