#Healthcare Industry

Healthcare Industry plays an important role in the economy of a country. Healthcare provides employment opportunities to many individuals directly related with health care sector or other relevant sectors, related to the health care industry in some way or the other. The health care industry consists of doctors, nursing, pharmacies, allied medical, health services and hospitals. Even if the economy goes down this industry is not affected much as it is directly related to human beings i.e. its key product is Human Being. Healthcare industries outsource their work to medical transcription companies. So if healthcare industry is not affected by recession medical transcription will also be not affected by recession.

#Human being

Human body is vulnerable to diseases and it is mandatory that it will be infected by some or the other microbes. Human beings get sick no matter what's happening to the economy of the country. That is true to an extent for all the pharmaceutical industries, whose medication and drugs are always in demand. But health-care providers might be economic malady. Hence healthcare industry is not always recession proof but what if person is suffering from heart disease or cancer or Alzheimer's disease, and countless other diseases strike with ill regard for economic crisis. So people rush to hospitals, clinics etc. People are concerned about their health nowadays about 70% of educated people have issued health insurance policies. This human nature has helped the medical transcription companies indirectly to grow up in recession times.

#Doctors don’t have time!!

Doctors are busy with patient’s whole day. They dictate patient records or nowadays voice recognition helps them to get text documents of dictations. They don’t have time for writing patient details, updating their records, maintaining every patients record. Hence the best option is to outsource their work to medical transcription companies. This further helps doctors to concentrate on their main work of operating patients.

#Investments..Raw materials required…

You might be wondering what factor is this? When we think of running a industry, company the first requirement is raw materials! In this field requirements are pc’s with good configurations (ok P4 will do..), brand earphones that’s it for people working from home. Companies invest on making their Internet and intranet connections secured, skilled employees, infrastructure cost etc. Eventually all depends on the budget.

#Quality transcription, Quality employees at affordable rates!!

Medical transcriptionists correct the data; transcribe the documents efficiently and accurately. Prepare patient records, which help doctors to properly diagnose the patients in emergency. Medical transcription companies are competing each other to provide best transcription services to healthcare providers. They have improvised their standards to improve quality, turnaround time, and clientele relationship and also they keep on upgrading their technologies.

Medical transcription companies recruit skilled people who have knowledge of medical jargons and who are proficient with English language.
