Changes in the healthcare industry are required due to new technology adoption, consumer demands, and regulatory framework, among other factors. The impact of these disruptions also affects the medical transcription process
Fremont, CA: A healthcare organization may employ physicians of various ethnicities, each pronouncing specific medical terms. There is a chance that a physician will engage in a brief activity such as coughing or yawning while dictating. In such cases, speech recognition software cannot distinguish between accents when a medical term is pronounced. As a result, the transcription will produce contradictory results for different physicians.
How should we approach this problem?
To avoid such anomalies, the reports must be reviewed by professional medical transcriptionists, who must thoroughly clean the account of any potential errors. Some of the most technologically advanced healthcare organizations delegate medical transcription work to human experts rather than relying solely on speech recognition software.
Transcriptionists are in Short Supply in Developed Countries– To begin with, the typically low pay scale for medical transcriptionists in developed countries such as the United States discourages people from pursuing a career in medical transcription.
