Medical Transcription

In the past, these medical reports consisted of abbreviated handwritten notes that were added in the patient’s file for interpretation by the primary physician responsible for the treatment. Conmentum Technology offers quality medical transcription services to hospitals, multi-specialty clinics, physician practices and healthcare institutions.

Medical transcription is part of the healthcare industry that renders and edits doctor dictated reports, procedures, and notes in an electronic format in order to create files representing the treatment history of patients.

The term transcript or “report” as it is more commonly called, is used as the name of the document which results from the medical transcription process, normally in reference to the healthcare professional’s specific encounter with a patient on a specific date of service.

Medical transcription is still the primary mechanism for a physician to clearly communicate with other healthcare providers who access the patient record, to advise them on the state of the patient’s health and past/current treatment, and to assure continuity of care.
