Medical Transcriptionist - A Closer Look
Medical Transcriptionist jobs have been around since doctors
first took the Hippocratic Oath. Ancient cave writings indicate
that records of what medical treatments were being performed
have been kept for thousands of years. Back then, it was for
different reasons but today, medical transcription and in
particular, the medical transcriptionist profession has been
quietly taking steps forward and is "suddenly" making itself
known to the world.
In a nutshell, a Medical Transcriptionist transcribes dictated
matter by phone or from electronically recorded messages by
doctors, nurses or other health care professionals, into records
of treatments, procedures and up to date patient status reports.
Surprisingly, Medical Transcription wasn't "official" recognized
as a profession until 1999 when finally; the United States
Department of Labor assigned the profession its' own job code,
in order to monitor statistics about the field. Until that
point, medical transcriptionist jobs were unjustly given the
title of medical secretary or typists.
Today, the American Association for Medical Transcription, which
overlooks the profession, administers testing and upon passing
the test you earn the title, "Certified Medical
Transcriptionist" (CMT) which lends additional credibility to
your knowledge, skills and abilities over those that are
uncertified. Although certification isn't required for gainful
employment, CMT status certainly has its' advantages like; the
assurance to your employer that you are highly qualified and
this in turn, increases your "market value" as an employee.
Medical Transcriptionist take on the role of converting the
spoken words, of health care professionals, into written text
either as hard or soft copy. But of course, with the dawn of new
technology, this task is becoming increasingly less time
consuming per unit produced. A good example is the
ever-increasing use of voice recognition software.
Sounds great but the questions arises, if technology is
transforming the profession now, then will technology transform
the profession to such an extent anytime in the foreseeable
future that it more or less makes the role of humans in the
profession obsolete? I think the best way to respond is by using
an example. Has the technological advances in every aspect of
the medical profession reduced the role and importance of
doctors and nurses? The answer to that question is clear and the
same applies to the field of medical transcription.
Although transcription programs continue to evolve and become
more and more adapt they will never be able to replace the
trained human mind. They certainly allow for aspects of the
translation process to speed up
but they will never be able to
compensate for all the differences in diction styles like
accents, grammar, pronunciation and the list is as varied as the
doctors doing the dictation.
Basically, the evolving transcription software programs are
simply a tool but like all tools they are only as good as the
skilled craftsman using them. In fact, because of these software
shortcomings, transcriptionists need to be very adept at
editing; especially in the correct use of grammar and the
ability to proofread. And because most transcriptions start via
the recorded message listening and strong keyboard skills are
becoming more and more an essential.
Sure, voice recognition software has made the whole
transcription process easier than it was in the past. Back "in
the old days" when a medical transcriptionists had to listen to
every single word and then transcribe it via stenograph, by long
hand or more recently into a word processor but thanks to
technology the editing skills mentioned above are becoming
increasingly more important because voice recognition software
is taking over more and more of the tedious hand entry portion
of the job.
Medical Transcriptionist job training covers a wide curriculum
including general knowledge of a wide variety of medical topics
like medical language, Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes,
biology, anatomy and physiology body systems. A medical
transcriptionist also needs to have a fair knowledge in
diseases; how they progress and how they are treated because
this process makes up a large portion of the medical dictations
that they are responsible for transcribing.
In addition, medical science, surgery, surgical procedures and
terminologies, surgical and laboratory instruments are also an
important part of the transcriptionists knowledge set. And, if
that's not enough prosthetics, pharmacology, laboratory test
results and their interpretation must also be understood and
mastered. As you can see, a medical transcriptionists knowledge
base must be wide and deep.
Medical transcriptionist jobs can be applied in a variety of
health care settings, either as full time employees of firms
that are need of these kinds of services to doctors and other
healthcare professionals or as part time transcriptionists that
from home for private clients.
