When we started this website, our motto was to provide free information for people who are in search for credible information on medical transcription. While I will not accept that we have achieved our goal, we are so happy to have close to 100 subscribers, interactions over e-mail and a decent traffic to the website.

We did not pursue our goal:

I have to accept that we have not pursued our goal of providing valid and holistic information through this website. While we have some content called as Free medical transcription course and some good blog post we did not extend our self by providing regular content, free tools and other features as we initial planned.

This is going to change:

Starting from Monday 09/12/2011, you would see a number of change in this blog. You will see regular and credible content pumping our real fast and new features being added month on month. Following are our long term goals:

• Free MT course – Provide free information that will help any fresher to get started in MT.
• MT companies list – It is a pain to find a good MT company. We will do that painful job for you.
• Free Videos and training materials – We want to offer free world class training videos for you get trained in MT.
• Free Tools – MT is all about tools. We want to provide online tools that can help you practice your work seamlessly.
• Free job search – We want to have a holistic list of profiles and company list. We can make TMA as a hub for you to get in touch with companies.

And the list goes on….

And we are dreaming to take this to a great height.

The Catch:

All the above listed features are our long term dream to make this blog successful and most importantly useful to our users like you. The problem is MONEY. As you might know all above features can cost a huge level of investment which we can not afford. But, we will strive hard to provide this as soon as possible. So we are planning to roll out features one by one, slowly so that it doesn’t impact us in any manner.

We need your help now:

Medical transcription reports are used to describe about the complaints and prescriptions given to the patient by the doctor. The job of a medical transcriptionist is to convert the dictated text to proper medical transcription report. The dictation will be done by doctors, physicians and medical experts like physical, occupational and respiratory therapists, nurses and hospital administrators.

The medical report will contain details such as patients name, name of physician, admission date, allergies, chief complaints, their history, reports about their physical examination etc.  CPT codes are the Current Procedural Terminology codes which are maintained by American Medical Association. The CPT codes usually describe about surgical, diagnostic and medical services which are designed for communication some good information about the medical procedures and services among the coders, physicians, accreditation organization, patients and for the purpose of analytics.

Sample medical transcription reports are the real cases of the basic clinical evaluation of the patients which are observed by the specialty physicians. Sample medical transcription reports will be checked for their accuracy and correctness as doctors usually expect 98 percent accuracy in the medical transcription reports.
