OVERSEAS TRANSCRIPTION? NOT SO COST-EFFECTIVE

Laurinburg, NC – Transcription Solutions, an entirely U.S. based transcription services provider, is competing well with overseas outsourcing while keeping jobs stateside. More than ever before, physicians in today’s economy are being pressured to minimize administrative costs while maintaining quality of patient care. Lured by the appeal of lower variable costs, many have reacted by turning to overseas outsourcing for transcription services. Unfortunately, they quickly realize that the lower per line transcription price that was so attractive before, comes with hidden costs to budget and productivity alike. “We thought that outsourcing our transcription needs to India would be more cost effective, but it wasn’t,” says Jeremy Tuterow, Practice Manager at an Indianapolis based pediatric orthopedic surgeons practice, “while the up-front costs were appealing at first, the hidden fees, incorrect and incomplete transcriptions, and slower productivity were recurring problems that were too large to overcome.” Transcription Solutions made the revolutionary decision to keep all transcription resources based in the US. “While many of our competitors are trying to cut cost by sending transcription to countries such as India,” explains Brent Sexton, president of Transcription Solutions, “we understood that better transcription accuracy and turnaround time would actually save more in the long run.” Transcription Solutions achieves this through better service and better technology. Where getting accurate transcriptions from overseas can sometimes take days, the highly trained professionals at Transcription Solutions typically provide more accurate transcriptions the very next day. M*Modal Speech Understanding technology, which is built on conversational modeling instead of structural language, helps to make the quick turnaround possible. “The M*Modal voice recognition makes a world of difference,” says Tuterow, “the software recognizes the dictation the first time around, making further human interaction almost unnecessary.” Better efficiency and quality allows Transcription Solutions to compete with overseas outsourcing services, and keep those jobs stateside.
