Talk:Medical transcription

message: I believe there needs to be a section devoted to accuracy.  From my experience, this is the buzzword in the transcription services industry.  Something to discuss an approximate accuracy to expect, why accuracy is important, and how transcription services ensure accurate transcripts.  To that end, I posted a transcription accuracy calculator that illustrates the difference between a transcript with 98% accuracy versus 99% accuracy. Ckatz removed the tool, but I added it again. Someone else should look at the tool and provide their comments.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.134.254 (talk) 14:34, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Section on Accuracy

message: Did basic formatting, so removed wikify tag, and added stub tag. Also removed the tag for citation needed, the unreferenced tag is already present. --Mathwizard1232 02:29, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This section is written with a very myopic view of the MT industry. MT comes to transcriptionists from various healthcare individuals and in more ways than listed in this section. It is not limited to just a doctor who then sends work to an MT. One example is that many times physicians and other healthcare professionals dictate their reports into hospital systems, and the work is then distributed to outside companies who then provide that dictation to transcriptionists who are situated either locally or offsite. Others who dictate: Nurse practitioners, physical and occupational therapists, speech therapists, etc. There's also the issue of TASPs. Also, more and more transcriptionists are getting their work via ASR (automated speech recognition). Dictators are doing the initial report, and the transcriptionists are then doing some transcribing and editing combined. This section needs to be rewritten with a broader, more accurate and encompassing view of the medical transcription process. --Liora 23:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: actually, when i merged/edited this article, i only corrected some grammars, keeping the thought of the section intact. It would be hard to accurately define the transcription process because (as an MT editor myself), we have different ways/process on how transcription is done, for one, i worked in an office setting, not in a hospital, im an outsourced MT, i received my work via FTP and send via FTP, i do medical reports on patients who wants to file workers compensation benefits...so on and so forth. So basically, the transcription process written in this article is not my office's transcription process. Its not how we do our work here  †Bloodpack†   argh!  00:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Rewrite of Medical Transcription Process needed

message: wow, i also created about this article too but the only difference is the "T" as in Medical Transcription, i tried to move this page but i cant, can someone fix this?  †Bloodpack†   argh!  04:41, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the 2 articles are quite different, it's not going to be an easy move - they should be merged, keeping the best content of each. I've added the appropriate tags --AbsolutDan (talk) 04:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: thanks, the category should also be noted for both articles. An admin's help is greatly appreciated on how to fix this (renaming/moving). I am an MT myself, im working on workers' compensation claims/benefits for work-related injuries on patients and i would love to take the best inputs on each articles and merge them into one but im kinda lazy right now  †Bloodpack†   argh!  05:07, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

text: thanks for clearing all that up, really appreciate it. Youre right, it shouldnt been this way. I checked the history of these 2 articles and this one came first than my Medical Transcription article which i did only last june. What surprises me is that before i did the MT article, i checked/searched wikipedia if theres already an existing MT article but nothing that i find so i created an MT article. And with all due respect to the person who did this article, i wouldnt touch this. So please feel free to copy/paste mine into this one and let the others (or me) due the refining to make a better article. Thanks again  †Bloodpack†   argh!  05:14, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  another article for this 

message: ...but i took the liberty of merging/edit the article since most probably itll take months before someone does. Wikipedia must contantly be updated at every minute in order to meet the needs of the using public. Any errors/corrections, please kindly do by all means. thanks  †Bloodpack†   argh!  02:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know whether it's true that wikipedia "must be updated at every minute", but one tenet of wikipedia is:  Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages.  So I, for one, appreciate what you did.  John Broughton 11:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Repeated vandalism: deleting sources and replacing with unsourced content  

message: Hi , I see you've reverted my removal of the image, so let's discuss here, per WP:BRD. The picture may be of a medical transcriptionist, but it doesn't tell us any information about what a medical transcriptionist does: we can't see what they're doing on the computer, or what they are transcribing from. It just looks like a picture of a person at a computer. As the Image Use Policy states, . I'm not sure this image serves that purpose, because I don't see how the medical transcription itself (being the relevant aspect) is clear and central in the image.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter. Thanks, /wiae /tlk 09:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Since I haven't heard back, I'm going to go ahead and remove the image. If anyone objects to this, please ping me here so we can discuss. Thanks, /wiae /tlk 12:38, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

text: If the media were more clear in its depiction of the subject it could warrant inclusion. :File:Medical transcriptionist.jpg is obfuscated and does not clearly illustrate the subject. Media similar to :File:Contemporary Computer Lab.jpg, or the like, is possibly a better fit for this article. -- dsprc [talk] 20:17, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

No reference is provided for this assertion. If one exists, it would make this sentence both interesting and relevant. If not, it comes across as hyperbole that cheapens the rest of the paragraph and should be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdanese (talk • contribs) 04:37, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
