A medical transcriptionist listens to audio files recorded by medical professionals and then transcribes these files into a document while checking for errors.
Fremont, CA: Medical transcription services are required for a wide range of reports, including history and physical exam reports, patient discharge summaries, emergency room reports, x-ray reports, operative reports, and chart notes. Let's look at the medical transcription process in greater detail.
Step 1: Professional Medical Dictation
The medical transcription process begins when a medical professional records patient-related information into a phone, hand-held digital recorder, or other digital recording devices. It is critical that the medical professional use a technologically advanced recording device to maintain the quality of the recording and the accuracy of the transcribed documents.
Step 2: Sending Voice Files
When the voice files are finished, they can be uploaded to a secure server where medical transcriptionists can download and begin transcribing them.
