Medical transcriptionists, MTs, originally served as secretaries to medical professionals who dictated detailed patient information. After the dictation process is complete, the medical transcriptionists listen to the information and write everything in a clear and grammatically correct fashion, making the files easier to read and understand. The MTs then send the document back to the professional who dictated it to review and revise the document before signing off for its completion. After this process is complete, the final revised copy will become part of the patient's permanent record.
If the process is done correctly the files will be more easily accessible and accurate and will, in turn, help medical offices and hospitals run more smoothly. It is important that doctors and medical transcriptionists establish a strong working relationship and have constant communication for the process to be successful.
