About MT & MT in India.
(Source: MTIndia)

Medical transcription is the process of taking a health care provider’s dictated (or less frequently, handwritten) notes and turning them into accurate, readable records.

The material transcribed includes, amongst others, patient history and physical reports, clinic notes, office notes, operative reports, consultation notes, discharge summaries, letters, psychiatric reviews, laboratory reports, x-ray reports and pathology reports and other similar kinds of medical records.

Medical transcription may be carried out for any medical professional operating out of a small clinic or a large hospital. These transcribed records are used for purposes of archives, reference or for serving as a legal proof of medical advice.
Ts are not just typists working in the healthcare industry. The skills required for medical record accuracy are fairly extensive. MTs are expected to be proficient in medical terminology, English language use and grammar, anatomy and physiology, disease processes, medical record keeping, and of course typing and computer skills. Entry level transcriptionist must have graduated from an MT certificate program and are considered experienced only after 3-5 years of full time equivalent work hours. The American Association for Medical Transcription offers a Medical Transcriptionist Certification Program (MTCP). To obtain certification, an individual must pass a 2-part test – a written test on essential knowledge (terminology, language use, anatomy/physiology, etc.) and a dictation transcription covering report types and specialties. AAMT recommends that applicants not take the transcription portion without 2 full-time years of experience. Certification is a fairly new development that has been created to improve the professionalism of MTs and the quality of MT work product. Less than 5% of MTs are certified.

Medical Transcription business is classified as an IT enabled service in India. In other words, it does not require specialized IT or software development skills. However, an ideal qualification to look for in a medical transcriptionist is graduation with above average listening and English comprehension skills. Further, the candidates should be able to quickly develop new skills and adjust to differing accents and diction. Keyboarding and transcription should not be confused. The primary skills necessary for performance of quality medical transcription are extensive medical knowledge and understanding, sound judgment, deductive reasoning, and the ability to detect medical inconsistencies in dictation.

A medical language specialist must be aware of standards and requirements that apply to the medical record, as well as the legal significance of medical transcripts. You must be able to work for long hours, often in a high-pressure environment. A high level of concentration for extended periods of time is also required.

Advatage of MT
(Source: MTIndia)

Flexner report on medical education (1910) was the first formal statement made about the function and contents of the medical record, which encouraged physicians to keep a patient oriented medical record.

In the 1960’s hospital information systems emerged (HIS) which helped the physicians to keep the documents accurate. Problem oriented medical records (POMR) made in 1969 by Larry Weed focuses on all diagnostic and therapeutic plans are organized keeping in mind the medical problems.

There are many benefits associated with improved physician documentation and record keeping. The value of this enhancement may be found in:

	Increased productivity
	Document accuracy
	Improved reimbursement, legibility and
	Increased communication.

Productivity

Studies have shown that physician productivity increases when ER visits progress notes and other medical reports are dictated rather than hand-written. According to industry sources, when comparing writing medical reports versus dictating, an average person can dictate 85-95 words per minute compared to 20 words per minute for writing. E.g. a document of 200 works takes about 10 minutes to write vs. 2.22 minutes to dictate. Based on this time saving and five patients per hour, this equates to saving the dictating physician up to three and half (3 ½) hours’ time per eight-hour shift.


Also, during the course of the day, a physician is likely to find one to five minutes of uninterrupted time rather than nine to twenty two minutes of writing time. Besides the actual time involved in writing the report, it is impossible to factor the inevitable interruptions encountered and delays associated with losing one’s train of thought.

DOCUMENT ACCURACY

The accuracy of medical reports improves greatly when dictated immediately after patient exam rather than at the end of the day when it is likely some crucial information may be left out. Thoughts flow faster while speaking, and "dictating" the facts of patient visit when compared to writing.


LEGIBILITY

The inability to read physician handwriting is an age-old problem and cannot be overlooked as a major documentation concern. This may delay critical patient care decisions affect reimbursement and has a negative impact on medico-legal issues and increases risk management related issues.


IMPROVED AND INCREASED REIMBURSEMENT

In the era of need for cost containment, documentation is the key factor for patient reimbursement. In an ambulatory setting, payment is directly associated with thoroughness and level of detail included while documenting patient visit. The Evaluation and Management codes in the CPT manual determine reimbursement for services provided as an outpatient or in physician’s office or in ambulatory visit. The E&M codes are based on detailed documentation that includes scope of patient history obtained, extent of examination performed and complexity involved in making medical decision. Details must be included while documenting patient visit to obtain maximum level of reimbursement. A poorly documented handwritten report, with incomplete or insufficient details of patient’s visit will result in lower level of reimbursement.

Medical Transcription (MT) increases health care provider’s productivity and document accuracy leading to better financial reimbursement and prompt response from HMO's and insurance companies. It also helps in reduction of medico legal issues and increases risk management.
