Pros of using Medical Transcription for medical documentation.
May 21, 2024
- Increased patient satisfaction with the healthcare provider since the doctors provide full attention to the patient and are not distracted by the necessity to key in vital information during the patient meeting itself. Patients also open up more to the doctors due to this reason and also because of the absence of scribes who were earlier employed to key in notes during patient visits. Patients have a positive response to the undivided attention provided to them.
- Doctors can use various tools that are easy to use and easily accessible such as handheld recorders, mobile phones with dictation apps, computers etc, to deliver their dictations. Templates can be custom-made to suit the requirements of the doctors' practice.
- Doctors have flexibility in the way they choose to do the dictations and narrative ways of dictation can be transferred to the templates by capturing essential information taken out of the narratives or retaining them as it is, which are handled by transcriptionists, according to the provider's requirements. This allows doctors to fully and aptly record all that is needed to be noted about the patient and narratives do provide a clear picture of the visit and also bring back in memory all the patient information. This also enables medical coders to apply codes without any errors.
