MTSO's shake up market for outsourcing transcription - Very important read.


Posted: Dec 09, 2009

http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/press-release/new-entrants-improving-players-shake-up-the-market-for-outsourced-transcription-128192.php

This article explains some of the top MTSO companies and notice that the first 5 out of 15 companies handle onshore than offshoring.  Again, is onshore United States and offshore is places like India?  Anyway, should open up article and read it.  Very, very interesting!!!!  This is only some of the article below.

Despite the increase in offshore transcription work, however, onshore services continue to get higher marks for overall quality and turnaround time. In fact, the top-five MTSOs in the KLAS report are all doing their work predominantly onshore.

The 15 MTSOs rated in "Transcription Services: Steady Demand in a Volatile Market" are Acusis, CBay, DTS America, Encompass, Focus, Heartland, MedQuist, Precyse Solutions, Spheris, SPi, Sten-Tel, Superior Global, Transcend, TransTech and Webmedx.

"Transcription Services: Steady Demand in a Volatile Market" includes KLAS performance ratings for 15 medical transcription services organizations (MTSOs), and the field looks decidedly different than KLAS' June 2008 MTSO report. The top-rated vendor a year ago, Transcend, has now dropped to fifth place, despite keeping its performance score steady year over year. Newly rated Webmedx and Precyse Solutions take the top two spots in the 2009 report, followed by Encompass and TransTech, both of which saw significant improvement in their performance scores.

Outsourcing Transcription - Savings Calculator
Apr 09, 2014

An interesting little calculator.  I just used a random email and such to get my results, but based on a 100-bed hospital over the course of a year, MM estimates that in-house transcription costs will range $200K and MM can save that same facility an estimated 51% by outsourcing services domestically or 59% globally.  Interesting...  Just food for thought. http://mmodal.com/products-and-services/transcription-services/transcription-roi/ ...

I found an ad this morning that I was so excited about, part-time MT in 2 specialties that I love, started my email to the company when I went back to look at the job ad and it states UP TO 0.7 per line.  Immediately I deleted the email, shook my head and went on looking.  What amazes me even more is that these people/companies who offer these horrible wages generally act like they are doing you a favor!!  Sad, so very sad .... ...

MT Market Research

Hey everyone, I'm doing some market research on transcription and was wondering if you might be able to give me some pointers? Firstly I'm trying to figure out who the biggest players are and I've come up with Nuance and M*Modal. These seem to be by far the biggest, but I've also found some smaller companies like Presyce, Superior Global Solutions, TransTech, Acusis and MedScribe - are there any others I'm missing? I'm also looking at the pricing these companies ...

Outsourcing To India
Jun 15, 2010

On numerous occasions over the past year I was told by my CCM that the reason they are outsourcing to India is because there is a shortage of qualified MTs because the average age of an MT is 55 and they are starting to retired.  Like the infamous ***** and is ridiculous claim about 650 lph on ASR, that MTs have an IQ of about 6.    ***** Do not name/identify individuals.  Moderator ***** ...

Ever Wonder What Clients Would Think About Doing Their Own Outsourcing?
Oct 26, 2010

Just thinking out loud here.  I know many practices probably do their own outsourcing to MTs at home. Why not more?  It must be cheaper for them with higher quality work, personalized service, etc.  Some hospitals even hire MTs to work from home rather than use an MTSO. How can we, as the MT community, reach more clients/practices.  Surely they have a liason in the office who handles the direction of their transcribed reports, in-house editing; someone who could do ...
