Medical Transcripiton A Green Job

Working from home as a Medical Transcripitonist (MT) is helping save the planet. According to a recent survey in the United States 83% of all MTs work from home, this is considered good for the environment.

Decreasing one of the largest source of pollution in the world, driving automobiles, MTs work from home and there is no need to drive to work. Even so now with digital dictation MTs can receive dictation from the physicians in many different ways. There is the 800 number 24/7 call in dictation, the hand held digital recorder that can be uploaded to the physician's computer and email or directly to the MTs computer. With the smart phones one can just dial a computer and dictate right with their smart phone. There are a lot of HIPAA compliant software programs that allows the physician to view what is in progress and what is finished and this can go straight to the Electronic Health Record (EHR).

The old ways are still in progress, some physicians have gotten comfortable with the tape recorder system where the MT goes and pick up the tape and return home to transcribe what was dictated and then return it on paper every three days or so. This still cuts down on driving every day to work. Soon all the physicians will see how efficient and safe the electronic transfers of EHR and will eventually go all digital or electronic.

MTs working from home is not only helping reducing pollution from automobiles, but helping reducing the use of paper with EHR. These programs are secure, efficient and effective fast way to keep up with all of the paperwork that has to be completed with the EHR. The medical community are moving forward to making all medical records EHRs.
