Outsourcing Hematology Transcription - What You Can Expect?

by Mts Mos Medical Transcription Services
Picture a busy hematologist. He has to deal with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of blood diseases. Specialized in the study of blood, the blood-forming organs, and blood diseases, he would have to provide treatments relating to fields such as internal medicine, physiology, pathology, clinical laboratory work, pediatrics. Hematologists also specialize in oncology. It’s no wonder that all this leaves this healthcare specialist with little time for documentation which is an integral office procedure when it comes to continuity and quality of care and medical billing compliance. Many hematology practices are finding that outsourcing hematology transcription to a professional medical transcription company is the solution. Many benefits can be expected with the right choice of service provider:

  • Benefits of Economies of Scale: In-house transcription can prove expensive for an individual medical practitioner. In addition to a professional team, the office would have to invest in the technology and software necessary to carry out transcription. Outsourcing to a professional medical transcription company would help hematologists to enjoy the benefits of economies of scale. Established service providers with a vast clientele would have all the specialized resources necessary to carry out the documentation procedures and can provide transcription solutions at affordable costs. A hematology practitioner can expect considerable cost savings by outsourcing to the right service provider. Established companies help their clients save up to 30 – 40 % on their operational costs.  


  • Assured Accuracy: Only a professional hematology transcription service provider would be able to handle transcription efficiently. With an objective to provide quality based transcription services, a reputed medical transcription firm employs highly qualified and skilled transcriptionists who are well versed in the important terminology related to hematology such as for example, ‘eosinophil’, ‘erythrocyte’, ‘erythropoietin’, ‘hematopoiesis’, ‘myelogenous’, ‘thrombectomy’ and much more. They would also be aware of important hematology procedures such as hematologic malignancies, immune cytopenias, bone marrow transplantation, biological therapy, stem cell and many other hematology conditions. Getting these terms and procedures right is crucial to the applicability of the transcripts.  Only qualified and expereinced medical transcriptionists would be able to prepare accurate hematology documents in time to meet the hematologist’s requirements. With stringent QA processes, a professional company can ensure transcripts with accuracy rates as high as 99%.


  • Document Flow Management System : Individual hematology practitioners would benefit from the document management software that their service provider offers as part of the transcription process. This helps them in tracking and monitoring their files during the transcription process.  A reliable service provider would also offer feeds to EMR, helping hematology practices in the progress towards the mandatory electronic health record (EHR).


  • Customized Turnaround Time: With the right hematology transcription outsourcing partner, a hematology practitioner can expect their transcribed documents to be delivered within the specified time limit.


  • Free Trial: Reliable service providers would offer their potential clients a free trial to check out the accuracy and timeliness of their services.

Taking into account security considerations with regard to patient information, a professional transcription firm would abide by all HIPAA regulations.  In addition to a secure work environment to prevent unauthorized access to patient records, the company will have safe modes to protect the confidentiality of medical records and reports as they are transferred through the Internet from the medical office to the transcription company and back.

Outsourcing hematology transcription is therefore a feasible option if you do not have or cannot invest in in-house transcription.
