Wishing you all a very
Happy Vijaya Dashami & Tihar
Though I know it is tough time for us, people in Medical Transcription field. Almost all the government and private companies will be closed by tomorrow, i.e. Thursday, October 14, 2010 (फुलपाति) till Friday, October 22, 2010 (कोज्रागत पुर्निमा) as we are observing the yearly biggest festival.
Most probably shifts will be started early to accomplish the day’s assignment earlier. Companies working from India or other vendor may request for lesser jobs for specific days though they won’t be minimizing remarkably. Even worse with the companies with direct clients who won’t be able to reduce at all. More to add trouble in, we can never be sure of the volume of job we get. If the volume gets high, …???
Thankfully this year the main day (बिजया दशमी) happened to fall on Sunday. And most of the transcription companies get lesser job volumes on Saturday. So I hope we all will have at least two days to enjoy.

College ends medical transcription program
Recently Delhi university announced it Medical transcription program for the first time for producing better transcriptionist India including South Asia. In the mean time San Juan College is closing its medical transcription program stating that there is less room for advancement in the field.
Daily times cotes:
Fearing it may be preparing students for a diminishing profession, San Juan College will shut down its medical transcription program at the end of the school year.
Many health care professionals anticipate computer programs will soon replace medical transcriptionists.
The School of Health Sciences will focus on modernizing the coding and health information technologies degrees instead. Students with those degrees are qualified for better paying jobs, said Oliver Borden, the dean of the health sciences school.
"One of the reasons we're getting out of (medical transcription) is because there is less room for advancement" as medical transcriptionists, he said. "We're choosing to focus on a major that has the brightest future."
The 30 students currently enrolled in the medical transcription program have until the end of the school year to complete the two-semester program.
Medical transcriptionists have an average salary of $24,000 to $30,000 dollars per year, and there are few opportunities for earning a raise in that field, Borden said.
On the other hand, students who graduate with a health information technology degree from the college are more versatile, and if they turn their associate degree into a bachelor's and then a master's degree, their average salary would increase to $81,500, Borden said.
"It gives them a chance at life-long learning," he said. "There are stepping stones that are available."
Hospitals and health care providers are switching to electronic medical records and a new coding system, Borden said. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is predicting a 22-percent increase in jobs in the health care industry by 2018. The college is reshaping the health sciences school so students can get those jobs, Borden said.
Several local health care providers said in recent years they have outsourced medical transcription services or begun using computer programs for the service.
"It's cheaper and a lot faster," said Tabitha Joyce, the office manager for High Desert Rheumatology.
A year ago, High Desert Rheumatology and Internal Medicine started outsourcing medical transcription services to Intivia, a New Jersey-based company that uses a computer program to make transcriptions within 48 hours. Read More...

Medical Transcription Industry Association Changes Name after 20 Years to Reflect Expanded Services in the Healthcare Marketplace
Medical Transcription Industry Association (MTIA), the world's largest association for medical transcription service organizations serving the needs of medical transcription companies, vendors, and health information management professionals, is changing its name to Clinical Documentation Industry Association (CDIA) after 20 years. The official press release states that the change name is a result of an effort to reflect not only the expanded scope of services its members provide to the healthcare industry, but also a more appropriate focus on the health record and its critical role in clinical decision-making and continuity of care.
About CDIA (formerly MTIA)
The Clinical Documentation Industry Association is a not-for-profit trade association serving the needs of medical transcription companies, vendors, and health information management professionals.
The CDIA began as a forum sponsored by the Health Professions Institute in 1989. The forum enabled medical transcription company owners and managers to discuss business issues, technology, and concerns unique to medical transcription business management.
At the time, MTSO members relied on the American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT), an excellent source of information for individual transcriptionists, but the business professional needed an organization that represented the interests of medical transcription business owners and services.
