transcription 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.

Medical transcriptionists listen to dictated recordings
made by physicians and other health care professionals
and transcribe them into medical reports, correspondence,
and other administrative material. They generally listen
to recordings on a headset, using a foot pedal to pause
the recording when necessary, and key the text into a
personal computer or word processor, editing as necessary
for grammar and clarity. The documents they produce include
discharge summaries, medical history and physical examination
reports, operative reports, consultation reports, diagnostic
imaging studies, progress notes, and referral letters.
Medical transcriptionists return transcribed documents
to the physicians or other health care professionals who
dictated them for review and signature or correction.
These documents eventually become part of patients’
permanent files.

Skills
required for a Transcriptionist |
|
To understand and accurately transcribe dictated reports,
medical transcriptionists must understand medical
terminology, anatomy, physiology, diagnostic procedures,
pharmacology, and treatment assessments. They also
must be able to translate medical jargon and abbreviations
into their expanded forms. To help identify terms
appropriately, transcriptionists refer to standard
medical reference materials—both printed and
electronic; some of these are available over the Internet.
Medical transcriptionists must comply with specific
standards that apply to the style of medical records
and to the legal and ethical requirements for keeping
patient information confidential.
