 Medical Transcription includes a sophisticated yet simple method of listening to voice data and converting it in a hardcopy and readable form. The medical transcriptionist (MT) transcribes medical report from a doctor's dictations to document a patient's medical care and condition. Usually carried out for medical professionals operating out of small clinics to large hospitals, the transcribed records are used for purposes of archives, reference or serve as legal proof of medical advice. |
