Transcription Business?

More and more innovative technologies are ruling the business world today. Jobs
that require knowledge and skills are assisted by these new technologies. Both
businesses and outsourcing companies are now witnessing a change in the way
businesses function. Now employees can work from anywhere in the world
maintaining constant communication with the clients as well as fellow workers.
Is There a Drawback?
Knowledge workers are facing a major challenge in the era of advancing technology.
Workload is more now for the skilled workforce in the organization. According to the
Great New Zealand Employment Survey 2013, conducted by Clarian HR in
association with Massey University, over 63 per cent of respondents said that
technology contributed to excess workload, and 53 per cent said that such overload
hindered their on-job performance.
Outsourcing to reliable outsourcing companies with technically skilled workforce is a
viable alternative for businesses. This will enable them to take advantage of these
innovative technologies and enjoy superior outputs at a competitive rate.
Crowdsourcing is making it possible for work to be done simultaneously by many
people no matter where they are. Tasks including medical transcription, legal
transcription and data entry are now outsourced through diverse locations through
websites such as oDesk, Freelancer, and Elance.
The latest technologies utilized in various industries include - Telepresence robots
such as Beam and Fellow Robots that with a screen mounted on a mobile platform
move around the office and experience what is happening in a more human way.
This helps you to be virtually in the office, though you are at home. Times LIVE
recently reported that U.S. hospitals are using more and more telepresence robots to
improve access to medical specialists especially in rural areas that experience a
shortage of doctors.
Video conferencing technologies just as Mezzanine allow multiple location
collaboration. This workspace also lets any person on a network bring their own
device and share content and applications with any colleague, anywhere in the
world, interactively.
Latest Technology in Medical Transcription
Along with Electronic Health Records (EHR) that provide physicians with the
opportunity to fully construct their clinical notes by selecting the appropriate data
right on their computers, innovative technologies are also changing the way
transcription works.
Speech Recognition Technology: This technology including Front End Speech
Recognition (FESR) and Back End Speech Recognition (BESR) can improve TAT. It
generates the medical records by capturing the dictations directly from the
physicians. To break down sounds into written language, the speech engine takes
the digitized signal from the microphone and converts it from a time-based signal
into a set of frequencies. The technology has the potential to enhance clinical
documentation in multiple ways.

Major advantages include:



Faster turnaround of reports
Saves time to complete reports
Typing is not involved much as the first report is generated by software
However, there are certain disadvantages with this technology that makes the
system not capable of replacing the traditional medical transcription system. This
medical speech recognition is also prone to errors, since a professional
transcriptionist is not verifying the dictation. The system:




Cannot identify words spoken in heavy accent
Will not have appropriate punctuation and grammar
Background noises will affect the accuracy
Homophones can create spelling errors
The increasing demand for documentation in the medical transcription industry
cannot be fulfilled without such technologies. Reliable companies providing accurate
medical transcription services will have trained and qualified transcriptionists
familiar in editing reports accurately from the speech recognition software.
