Ophthalmology Transcription Services

Ophthalmology is a major specialty in medicine. It covers the diagnosis of the eye disease and its conditions. Proper care for the patient is given only, if the physicians receive the documented ophthalmology reports on time. Though most of the leading ophthalmology transcription services give accurate reports to the ophthalmologist, ophthalmology clinics, on time, some service like the in-house fails to keep up with the appropriate TAT. They deliver the report only after 36 hours. This leads to accumulations of backlogs.

The well know
Ophthalmology transcription companies with their topnotch technology enabled services provide cost-effective service to a number of ophthalmic surgeons, ophthalmologists, eye specialists and optometrists within a turn around time of 12 hours. They make this feasible because of the state of art infrastructure and a well equipped 24x7 transcriber team. The transcribers are very familiar with the ophthalmology terminologies. They work zealously and deliver the report with a rapid TAT.

The run of the mill services on the other hand, employ only inexperienced staffs. They are not knowledgeable in documenting the ophthalmology emr templates. Moreover these transcribers charge heavily. They burdened the clinics with all sorts of over heads - $14 to $15 as hourly wages and other miscellaneous costs like hardware, software procurement etc. All these got reflected on clinic’s ROI (Return on Investment). Moreover the transcribers will not stick to one particular place; they were switching jobs in search of greener pastures. The in-house was constantly in the process of hiring transcribers, training them, and seeing them off to much more lucrative jobs. All these affected the smooth documentation workflow of an ophthalmology clinic.

The transcription service providers on the other hand provide a number of user friendly dictations methods. The ophthalmologist can make their dictations from any phone of their choice, even from the latest smart phones.

The clinics can also give their narrations by a portable handheld digital device. If an ophthalmology clinic is using a specific emr, the transcription company with their web based transcription module integrates with that particular ophthalmology emr. The physician can render his narrations into the emr. The remote transcribers access into the emr by means of a secure login account setup by the clinic’s IT people, capture the ophthalmologists’ emr dictations, document and place it into the emr for the physician’s review.

The well known ophthalmology transcription providers employ only duly HIPAA signed transcription experts. All the file transfers take place through secure FTP and 256 bit AES encrypted protocols as HL7 messages. They offer customer focused cost effective service at a reasonable cost of 10¢ for documenting a single line of 65 characters. Their affordable cost assists a lot in enhancing the revenue cycle management of an ophthalmology clinic.

To know more about heir caliber and competency, the service providers voluntarily give a 7 day free trial offer. During the no commitment trial period they document 40 to 50 of their ophthalmology reports and sent it for the physician's assessment.
