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.
