The NextGen® Practice Management/EHR has built-in features that allow web-based remote vendors to log into the software application for documenting the narrations of the physicians that are in queue in the centralized system of the application |
Offshore vendors offer proven solutions
The years of experience we have gathered partnering with health care facilities has shown that the most common issues that they encountered were related to documenting patient records. The practices were either inadequately staffed or skilled medical transcribers were just not available in the geo-location of their practices.
The home based medical transcribers have over the years offered their services to healthcare facilities, but that was during the era of paper records, and currently it is digital records, the HIPAA regulations do not allow healthcare facilities to circulate the patient records outside their domain. There are privacy issue that need to be addressed under HIPAA regulations, and home based transcribers may not be able to do that.
In these circumstances, the offshore companies are better placed at not only providing better professional services, but providing it at lower costs. The costs of documenting the reports are lower if the service is outsourced, than doing it in-house.
Analyzing the workflow and resolving issues
Medical Transcriptions Service after a detailed review with an administrator of a health care facility analysis the work flow and accordingly offers solutions to improve upon them. We take into account the transcription volume of the facility and the TAT requirements. The templates for documentations used by the facility are also reviewed, including the system adopted by the facility for tracking the old records of the patients. The detailed review helps us in determining the transcription requirements of the facility. The administrators are also briefed on the HIPAA regulations observed by the company.
