MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION: WHEN IT ALL BEGAN

Medical transcription can be traced back to the beginning of the 20th century. At this time, physicians who didn’t want to take their own notes employed stenographers, who could document almost anything using shorthand.

As the wave of technological advancements erupted in the 20th century, “cool” devices such as typewriters were developed. And this replaced shorthand for a while before voice recorders and word processors came along and stole the show. These days, more cutting-edge technologies like speech recognition software and are also being used to facilitate medical transcription (More on that in a moment).

WHY MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION IS DO IMAPORTANAT

Okay, for starters, medical transcription makes it way easier to keep accurate medical records for patients. And as stated earlier, doctors are required by law to keep accurate medical records of all their patients. These records show the medical history and health information of patients, allowing them to get proper care when they see other practitioners.

Alright, cool – medical transcription is super important. But do you need a human to do it? Let’s see.But that’s not all – most hospitals have switched from the traditional paper filing system to electronic health records. And medical transcription makes this so much easier to do as well. Transcribed files are available as text documents that can be saved directly to the hospital’s server or the cloud. So, anytime a provider needs to issue medical reports, all they need to do is download and print the files. What’s more?  These transcribed records are also used to bill insurance companies for patient care.

MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTS vs SPEECH RECOGATION SOFTWARE: IS THERE A DIFFRENECE?

Speech recognition software (SRS) is a computer program capable of converting the words you speak into a written document. And this is all thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). But as intelligent as AI currently is, the results of SRS is still far from perfect.

And that’s why computers won’t be taking over the jobs of medical transcriptionists anytime soon. Because unlike automated tools, medical transcriptionists undergo specialized training and possess a tremendous knowledge of medical terminology. Plus they’re humans, so they can hear what computers can’t.And here’s why — for starters, automated tools can’t proofread or edit transcripts. They can also get a bit squirrely when certain accents are involved. So, even in the best of speech recognition software, the accuracy is usually less than 90%.
