Medical transcription (MT), also called healthcare documentation, refers to the process of converting digital voice recordings of medical professionals into a textual format. It helps in maintaining high quality and accurate medical records along with improving the accuracy and efficiency of medical histories, patient discharge summaries, operative reports, medical research interviews, and biomedical science drafts. In recent years, various technological innovations, such as the introduction of electronic health records (EHR), have increased the utilization of medical transcription in hospitals, surgery centers, trauma centers, clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
According to the latest report by IMARC Group titled, Medical Transcription Market Research Report and Forecast 2019-2024, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5% during 2019-2024.
The well-developed medical sector in regions like North America and Europe, coupled with the increasing adoption of healthcare IT solutions by medical institutions, have increased the popularity of medical transcription services. Apart from this, various government initiatives in developing countries are aimed at improving healthcare information infrastructure, which is consequently encouraging the usage of medical transcription. Moreover, the emergence of electronic medical record (EMR) systems, along with the growing awareness about the benefits of medical transcription, including lowering costs, increasing productivity, improving the quality of patient care, and ensuring patient safety, is also fueling the market growth. Additionally, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and other cardiovascular disorders is resulting in frequent health check-ups and regular hospital visits. This, in turn, is increasing the number of medical records, thereby stimulating the need for medical transcription to manage data mishandling.
