Radiology Transcription Future - No Name
Posted: Sep 22, 2011
There has been an obvious decrease in medical transcriptionist positions being advertised where I live. However, I tend to see openings for radiology transcriptionists at the local hospitals. Due to the nature of this work and the quick TAT needed, I wonder if radiology transcriptionists will always be in need or if it too will die off.
Most radiology in my local area has gone to all voice recognition - former RadMT
[ In Reply To ..]I have a friend who works at a hospital 3 hours from here that said radiology there is going to all voice recognition also, and it's not a big town. I worked for a hospital the last 5 years, before my move, that was not planning to go to all voice, but with the way things are going everywhere else, it will eventually get there also.
I edit on a Powerscribe account and get 150+ reports a day, every day. - RadPro
[ In Reply To ..]I think that some hospitals force their doctors to self-edit and others do not. The account I am on does about 50/50 but we are busy all the time. I know that KS has a lot of Powerscribe accounts. People can bash them here but for radiology, they are still tops.

EMR And The Future Of Transcription
Jul 27, 2011
With the president's health care reform he is giving incentives to doctors to switch to EMR. From what I understand, if doctors have not switched over to EMR by 2014 they will be taxed. What is the future of our business with this policy? Especially the big transcription companies like Transcend? ...

I had to take my two kids to the doctor the other day. Thought I was lucky, because there were only 2 people in front of us, but it was TWO HOURS before we were called back. Once I got back there, I saw why. When the nurse came in to ask the pre-visit questions, she asked a MILLION questions and entered them all into her laptop, typing out what we said (typed VERY slow, by the way) and we were just on HER portion for over 45 minutes. Then, the doctor came in and saw the kids and she spen ...
Future Of No More Medical Transcription
Mar 22, 2011
Are you thinking of going into medical transcription for a career? Don't do it! The field is growing smaller every day, and soon will be gone completely. In Alaska, all the major hospitals have gone to voice recognition, and work is scarcer all the time. Look into medical coding maybe, or working in a doctor's office as an assistant or receptionist. DON'T GO INTO MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION! Liza ...

Future Of Transcription - An Observation
Jan 29, 2012
It is my opinion that transcription, whether it be standard or voice, will be replaced altogether in the very near future. There may be some little independent offices or hospitals that continue, but not for long. I say this for 2 reasons. One is that the hospital I worked for locally started withe EHR about 5 years ago and the introduction of VR about 3 years ago with the push for the doctors to do their own "point & click" type of transcription. The software made a ...

Does anyone know of any companies seriously looking for Radiology transcriptionists.

Pathology And Radiology Transcription
May 23, 2011
I have been a radiology transcriptionist for about 12 years. I am presently unemployed. I have seen an ad on one of the job sites for a pathology transcriptionist with 1 year experience. My question is how different/difficult is pathology transcription. Should it be something a radiology transcriptionist can do, given I have 15 years experience but 12 in rad work. Do you think it would be something I could pick up without difficulty? Any information and input would be appreciated. I have been ou ...

Where Are All The Radiology Transcription Jobs?
Aug 26, 2013
It is just me or does it seems as if the transcription third party companies are focused more on acute care transcription than any other specialty. I have been a radiology transcriptionist for over 20 years. The company I worked for decided to eliminate 13 of us F/T transcriptionists since they converted to VR system and they kept a few aboard. Apparently the radiologists are being trained to edit their own reports. That being said, I'm searching high and low for a F/T position for a radiol ...

If you goggle this you will find a huge disparity of opinion from âgoal being to have no transcriptionists whatsoeverâ at one extreme to âall this new fangled stuff is just some new toys for the kids to play withâ being at the other. Some are on the fence and some are crying itâs a ...
