Medical transcription

Medical transcription is the process of converting healthcare professionals' spoken notes and dictations into accurate, written medical reports. When doctors, nurses, or other providers document patient visits or procedures verbally, a trained transcriber listens and types out these recordings into clear, standardized documents. These reports include details about diagnoses, treatments, and patient care, which are essential for legal, billing, and ongoing medical use. Medical transcription ensures that patient records are precise, accessible, and maintained in compliance with healthcare standards, supporting effective communication among healthcare providers and quality patient care.
