Little giggle on the painful subject - ke


Posted: Jul 11, 2011

Found this on an educational site.  Made me giggle a little.  How accurate is this?  My favorite is the first line in the 2nd paragraph and the last line of the 3rd.  Ya, right.

Medical transcription jobs are forecasted to increase 11% from 2008 until 2018.  This increase in jobs is greater than average for other occupations.  As the average age of the population increases, the demand for transcriptionist services will also increase.  Older age groups receive proportionately more treatments, procedures requiring documentation, and medical testing.  The increasing requirement for electronic medical records to be shared easily among medical providers, 3rd party-payers, regulators, medical information systems, and consumers will increase the need for more transcription services. 

Consequently, the medical transcriptionist salary will increase and bring greater amounts of qualified MTs into the industry.  An increased number of medical transcriptionists are going to be required to produce medical reports, revise documents for emerging speech recognition technologies, and continually edit medical transcription reports to their final minimum accuracy requirement of 98.5%.  - Resource: US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics -

Medical transcription income is often enhanced by additional benefits like 401K retirement plans, paid vacations, medical/dental insurance, as well as lucrative dividends!  The medical transcriptionist salary will remain above average for stay at home jobs well into the future as predicted by top US labor professionals.

Bringing The Qualified Text (QT) Subject Over Here.
Jan 14, 2012

I am under the impression that QT is canned text that we bring into the report and add text at certain spots when the dictator specifies? I used to do a lot of ophthalmology reports. Surgeon would say: Please insert my normal phacoemulsification with IOL implant. Then they would dictate which eye, how many diopters, model and size of lens, etc. Does QT also sometimes just show up on the report that comes up and then we just add what is dictated? How long does it take to bring in the QT? Than ...

I have arthritis in my knees so I assume this is what it is. ...
