Why We Matter to Healthcare—MT Week 2010

Promoting the vital and contributory role of healthcare documentation specialists will be the central theme for National Medical Transcriptionist Week this year. As healthcare reform reshapes the delivery of patient services in the United States and regulatory agencies determine the definition of "meaningful use" of EHRs, there has never been a better opportunity for this sector to demonstrate its value in accurately and securely capturing America’s healthcare stories. This means aligning our key messages with healthcare’s goals and demonstrating why we matter to the health data capture process, both now and in the evolving EHR. You can be a part of promoting these key messages to your employers, employees, clients, and colleagues. Download the MT Week poster/flyer and post it in your workplace, share it with your clients, and promote it to regulatory agencies and legislators. If you are an MT or MT employer, consider an investment in this future value proposition by enrolling yourself or your employees in our Speech Recognition Editing Course and receive a special $100 discount off the cost of registration for May and June courses in celebration of MT Week.
