What exactly is Medical Transcription?

Medical Transcriptionists transcribe reports dictated by physicians to create permanent health records.

These records are used to document patient care, to provide background information for future care, and to provide a record for billing purposes. The transcribed records that are legal and medical documents must be completely accurate.

Medical Transcription (MT) means converting into written form, the dictation by the physicians and other Healthcare professionals regarding patient assessment, workup, therapeutic procedures, clinical course, diagnosis, prognosis etc. in order to document patient care and facilities healthcare services.

A Medical Transcriptionist is a medical language specialist who, using a computer and accessories like headphones and a foot pedal, transcribes the recorded audio into electronic data. This data is further scrutinized for grammar and clarity by a proof reader.
