For over a year, a team from Bentley College engaged in a comprehensive study of the medical transcription industry. The first study of its kind, it is providing important information regarding the role of the industry in healthcare. The study included an examination of how MTs perform their work, off-shore medical transcription, the development and implementation of quality improvement technologies, the role of speech recognition on the production process, and evaluation tools to gauge industry performance.
The first phase of this multi-faceted study was completed in early 2008, with preliminary results related specifically to medical transcriptionists released in May of 2008. An enhanced version of this study can be downloaded at the link below.
