Medical Transcription is one of the largest back-office service in health care. Medical Transcriptionists are in demand, especially in the US where the entire healthcare industry is based on insurance and detailed medical records are needed for processing insurance claims.
Medical transcription could be one of the speedy growing IT enabled service in India also, with the rapid change in the outlook in Indian healthcare and privatization of the insurance sector.

Medical transcription is an interesting and challenging career. It is the process whereby one accurately and swiftly transcribes medical records dictated by doctors and others, including history and physical reports, clinic notes, office notes, operative reports, consultation notes, discharge summaries, letters, psychiatric evaluations, laboratory reports, x-ray reports and pathology reports. M.T. or Medical Transcriptionist is a person who assists physicians and specialty surgeons usually by transcribing, formatting, and proof reading their dictated medically oriented report of a patient’s health history. This dictation covers pretty much everything that takes place between the health care provider and the patient. Usually, the information dictated by doctors is recorded onto digital voice recorders or dictated over phone where by the report is recorded into a server at the medical transcription comany. In some instances the voice is recorded into the EMR system, which will be downloaded by the MT or transcription company. The process of medical transcription is transferring this information using word processing.
