The Medical Transcription Business History

The history of medical transcription dates back to a time when patient files and reports consisted of walls of medical files in a physicians’ office, often filled with shorthand notes written by hand which were mainly used by the doctor responsible for treatment. Now, while medical files and notes are necessary for filing claims and other forms, the bulky medical files are no longer an efficient way to retrieve pertinent information about a patient’s medical history. Most medical office now subscribe to a medical transcription business that digitally and electronically transcribes all of their patient notes into a file that can be accessed by a computer.

This advancement in transcription technology allows for many physicians to save on overhead costs and it increases their office productivity, as they no longer have to transcribe the files themselves or staff or outsource the work. The convenience of offering a medical transcription online allows for secure passing of private information across HIPPA servers, and provides physicians instant access to specific patient histories and files.
