The Medical
Transcription Profession By David SkulThe professional healthcare team
includes physicians, nurses, therapists, technicians, dieticians, and other
healthcare support staff. A vital member of this team is the medical transcriptionist.
While not as visible to the general public as those members of the team
providing hands-on care, the medical transcriptionist plays an important
role in documenting the quality of patient care.Medical transcriptionists
provide an important service to both physician and patient by transcribing
dictated medical reports that document a patient's medical care and condition.
These may include office chart notes, history and physical examinations,
consultations, letters, memos, admission notes, emergency department notes,
operative reports, discharge summaries, and many specialized laboratory
tests and diagnostic studies. Medical transcriptionists transcribe reports
from a variety of medical specialties, and each day's work presents a unique
challenge and job opportunity
for learning.Medical transcriptionists contribute to quality patient care
through their commitment to excellence. Because each dictated report represents
a part of a patient's life, the medical transcriptionist transcribes it
with care,
demonstrating an extensive knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, pharmacology,
human diseases, surgical procedures, diagnostic studies, and laboratory
tests in order to produce an accurate and complete permanent medical record.A
mastery of English grammar, structure, and style, a knowledge of transcription
practices, skill in typing, spelling, and proofreading, and the highest
professional standards contribute to the medical transcriptionist's ability
to interpret, translate, and edit medical dictation for content and clarity.Click
