Medical transcription is the process of converting voice-recorded medical reports dictated by healthcare professionals into written text. This task is essential for maintaining accurate patient records, ensuring that all medical information is documented clearly and efficiently. Transcriptionists listen to audio recordings and use specialized software to transcribe the information, which may include patient histories, treatment plans, and diagnostic results. The final written documents are then reviewed for accuracy and completeness before being added to a patient's medical file, supporting effective communication within the healthcare system.
