Medical transcription exchange
Medical transcription information exchange – hot topics in medical transcription, medical transcription jobs, the medical transcription industry, speech recognition, medical transcription technology and medical transcription schools and careeers.
Go on any medical transcription forum and you will find a war raging about medical transcription schools. The common opinion among the most vociferous is that there are only two choices one should make and no other school or program is worthy of consideration. I’m not going to name names but let’s call those two Read More …
I’ve been following reports from the meeting as reported by Kathy Nicholls at her MT Tools Online blog, as well as the ACE365 website at Ning and I find myself wondering if medical transcriptionists can afford to let this organization continue to represent to legislators and the health information management community that it is the Read More …
I was moseying along in the medical transcription blogosphere today – in my opinion, part of my duties as webmaster/owner of medical transcription sites – when I decided to check out a tweet sent out by Kathy Nicholls about some changes being proposed in AHDI governance. Here’s Kathy’s tweet: KathyNicholls: AHDI proposes governance changes. What Read More …
The question has been posed to me, on more than one occasion, about the possibility of medical transcriptionists transitioning to the role of a scribe.

I’ve heard that potential employers look for someone that’s been trained by an AHDI approved program. But when I asked Future MT, a non-approved program, they said that Read More …
Just in case you didn’t know, we are in the “healthcare documentation sector.” We still do medical transcription and we’re still called medical transcriptionists, but only because there’s no organized group <ahem> that’s been able to either decide what else to call us and/or make it stick. However, medical transcriptionists everywhere can rejoice, knowing that Read More …
This came up at the Restuvus MT forum. For some reason, people started e-mailing me (maybe because I live in California, maybe because I’m a loudmouth – hard to tell) and I decided to blog it because Restuvus doesn’t archive their conversations and this one should stick around for awhile. I’m not going to go Read More …
