WHY OUTSOURCE MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION WORK WHEN YOU CAN DO IT IN-HOUSE?
Medical transcription work involves listening to audio recordings made by physicians and other medical practitioners and turning them into text-based reports. These reports are then used to prepare patients’ discharge summaries, medical histories or other related documents.
While this may sound a really simple job, and one that you might prefer doing in-house, savvy healthcare professionals often turn to medical transcription companies to outsource their medical transcription work.
Why do they choose to outsource it when they can do it in-house?
There are several reasons for that:
IT SAVES THEM MONEY
Setting up an in-house medical transcription system can be costly. Organizations need to hire trained medical transcriptionists, pay them their wages, provide them for any additional employment benefits that they may be entitled to, and invest in transcription tools and software. All these expenses can add up to be quite significant.
By outsourcing their medical transcription work, organizations effectively pay only for the transcripts being produced, avoiding any of the extraneous costs that typically come with an in-house setup.
IT SAVES THEM MANAGEMENT HASSLE
Make no mistake, medical transcription come with a lot of management hassles. Organizations need to streamline the flow of documents and make sure that all transcribed documents are indexed and sorted properly, so that they can be easily accessed by concerned professionals and departments. When outsourced however, many of these management tasks are taken over by the medical transcription company, which allows organizations to focus on more important areas of service.
IT SAVES THEM FROM INACCURATE TRANSCRIPTS
Errors in medical transcripts are a norm, especially if you don’t have an experienced, qualified transcriptionist handling the transcription work. There can be medical jargons and terms which might not be possible for a regular transcriptionist to comprehend, and as a result they can end up producing inaccurate transcripts.
To avoid the inconvenience of dealing with inaccurate transcripts, organizations prefer outsourcing their medical transcriptions. In addition to providing highly accurate transcripts, medical transcription companies also ensure that the transcripts are generated and delivered on time.
