Electronic Record Keeping with Medical Transcription

Medical Transcription, commonly known as MT, is an associated health career, which has to do with the method of transcription. A medical transcription's job is to convert voice-recorded reports as dictated by physicians or other medical professionals into text format. Earlier stenographers were used to take the doctor’s diction in shorthand. Today’s healthcare documentation is possible because of the advent of audio recording services. 

Medical Transcription makes use of speech recognition or continuous speech recognition device to recognize words of a dictation given by a doctor or other medical professionals. Earlier it was a tedious and time-consuming job to refer to the medical record of a patient as all medical records/medical history of all patients were kept together in healthcare centers. Now, these records are safely stored in computer memory that is attached to powerful servers. This digital storage provides an immediate access and can be accessed from anywhere if computer is connected with same servers.

They ensure the timely and accurate format to health care centers.
