The Medical Transcription Profession By David
Skul The professional healthcare team includes physicians, nurses,
therapists, technicians, dieticians, and other healthcare support
staff. A vital member of this team is the medical transcriptionist.

team providing hands-on care, the medical transcriptionist plays
an important role in documenting the quality of patient care.Medical
transcriptionists provide an important service to both physician
and patient by transcribing dictated medical reports that document
a patient's medical care and condition.
These may include office chart notes, history
and physical examinations, consultations, letters, memos, admission
notes, emergency department notes, operative reports, discharge
summaries, and many specialized laboratory tests and diagnostic
studies. Medical transcriptionists transcribe reports from a variety
of medical specialties, and each day's work presents a unique challenge
and opportunity for learning.Medical transcriptionists contribute
to quality patient care through their commitment to excellence.

it with care, demonstrating an extensive knowledge of medical terminology,
anatomy, pharmacology, human diseases, surgical procedures, diagnostic
studies, and laboratory tests in order to produce an accurate and
complete permanent medical record.A mastery of English grammar,
structure, and style, a knowledge of transcription practices, skill
in typing, spelling, and proofreading, and the highest professional
standards contribute to the medical transcriptionist's ability to
interpret, translate, and edit medical dictation for content and
clarity.Medical transcriptionists work in a variety of settings,
including medical centers, general and specialty hospitals,Click
