Ocumenting Physician Narrations Within An Emr Application, Now Offered By Medical Transcription Comp

New add-on services are being offered by medical transcription companies

, which

include documenting physician narrations within an EMR application that is in

use by a healthcare facility. The transcription companies offer the service through

multimodal platforms, which include setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN)

with an existing Electronic Medical Record application in use by the healthcare

facility.

The technical team of the company in coordination with the IT staff of the clinic

enables the secure HIPAA compliant VPN connectivity, and using a secure

password the medical transcribers can login and document the physician narrations

read into the centralized voice recording system.

If the EMR application that is in use by a healthcare facility allows for Local Area

Network (LAN) connectivity, the transcription companies set it up in a similar

manner as the VPN. The EMR applications that are web-based, meaning a browser

based login are amongst the least complicated, in as so far as the technicalities are

concerned. The medical transcribers log into the EMR application website and

access the physician dictations to document them.

There are innumerous EMR applications available to healthcare facilities, some of

which are specialty specific, and consist of forms or templates that are relevant to

the practice. The transcription companies have trained medical transcribers that

are able to document the specialty reports using the forms or templates built within

these applications.

In most of the EMR applications the built-in voice recognition software has been a

big disappointment, because physicians do not want to loose their valuable time in

training the software to recognize their voice, even after the training process some

physicians have quality issues, such as misspells of medical terms and procedures,

in the automated reports.

Many healthcare facilities are in fact are keen to partner with medical transcription

companies that are able to provide the service through VPN, LAN or Web-Based

logins. The high costs of running an in-house transcription division is one of the

main reasons, healthcare facilities are looking at other alternatives. Each in-house

medical transcriber costs the healthcare facility $ 14 to $ 15 an hour, and added to

that are other overheads such as transcription hardware/software, and this cost the

clinics 35 to 38 for documenting a 65 character line.

The medical transcription companies on the other hand are able to provide the

service at just 8.5 to 9.5, so the difference in costs is one of the major reasons for

the facilities to look for viable alternatives, after all the health care reforms are all

about lowering costs in the health care industry.
