Medical transcription coaching center

Medical Transcription is defined as a process of transcribing voice-recorded dictations by the healthcare professionals pertaining to the patient’s medical record into an electronic or paper format to create files that depict the treatment history of the patient. This course is all about - to learn how to transmit the voice recordings by the physicians and other healthcare workers and convert them into reports. The course will also teach you to interpret medical terminology and abbreviations while preparing the patient’s medical history, discharge summary, and any other documents for that matter.

Medical records document all aspects of a person's medical care, including their symptoms, health history, the results of their healthcare providers’ exams, diagnostic tests, as well as their treatment plans. They are vital for the continuity of care and communication among healthcare providers.

Errors in medical records can affect insurance coverage or even lead to mistakes in treatment and care. Caregivers have a legal obligation to maintain accurate and up-to-date records on all patients. 

Medical transcriptionists work with healthcare providers to make sure that each visit is documented so that there is a complete record of the diagnosis and treatment plan as well as any follow-up care that may be needed.
