Medical transcription involves translating oral dictation into written medical records. It serves to document patient care and facilitate healthcare services. Physicians verbally dictate notes which transcriptionists transcribe to save time. Training for medical transcription involves extensive study of medical terminology and body systems. The field provides accurate documentation of patient histories but faces challenges regarding available trained professionals and competitive salaries.
Medical Transcription is a process of converting physician dictated audio into text format. Physician dictation would include any type of medical treatment, procedure, diagnosis etc.
These documents should be recorded into patient’s permanent medical record.

Total Quality Management in HealthcareGunjan Patel
Now days, Healthcare systems are of fundamental interests to all level of Hospitals in our societies. Eventually, increasing importance and reliance are placed on total quality management in healthcare systems. Due to this rising importance that is also reflected in the increasing percentage of national and international resources for both private and public sector to allocated in hospital management systems. Hospitals and other healthcare organization across the globe have been progressively implementing TQM to reduce costs, improve efficiency and provide high quality patient care.
Importance of computers in Medicine,/HealthcareZubair Afzal
In medical field computer literacy is important to what extent, & where computers are used in field of medical.
IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER IN MEDICAL FIELD
Computers are the excellent means for storage of patient related data.
Big hospitals employ computer systems to maintain patient records.
It is often necessary to maintain detailed records of the medical history of patients.
Computers can keep track of prescriptions and billing information.
Doctors often require the information about
a patient’s family history
physical ailments
already diagnosed diseases
prescribed medicines
Computers enable an efficient storage of huge amounts of medical data.
Computer storage can serve as the best means of housing medical information.
Medical journals, research and diagnosis papers, important medical documents and reference books can best be stored in an electronic format.
In the field of medicine, computers allow for faster communication between a patient and a doctor.
The importance of computers cannot be stressed enough as computer technology has revolutionized the field of medicine.

The Impact of Duplicate Medical Records and Overlays on the Healthcare Industry RightPatient®
Duplicate medical records and overlays continue to be two pressing issues for the healthcare industry as we usher in the age of electronic medical records, health information exchanges, and integrated delivery networks. Although these two issues can seriously jeopardize patient safety, increase the likelihood of unnecessary treatments and a misdiagnosis, raise the cost of care, and have a detrimental effect on the revenue cycle for medical facilities, they are different in size and scope and until only recently, have not been getting the attention they deserve from C-level executives.
Healthcare and similar industries have stringent regulations and requirements when managing patient records and documents. Learn how you should handle these files and the proper ways to destroy them when their retention periods are up. For additional information, check out www.shrednations.com.

is difficult. An old saying in human resources management, “Hire for attitude, and train
for skill,” is particularly applicable today, when in the highly competitive medical practice
environment, patients have increasingly high expectations of their providers. Simply having
technical skills is not adequate to build and maintain a successful practice. Staff must be
able to engage patients in a positive and constructive way to earn their trust and satisfac-
tion. Although data seem to conflict on this point, many researchers believe engaged and
satisfied patients are more likely to comply with the instructions of their providers than are
disengaged, unsatisfied patients, leading to better outcomes (e.g., Kane, Maciejewski, and
Finch 1997). More recently, a study by Fenton, Jerant, and Bertaski (2012) found little
connection between satisfaction and clinical outcome; in fact, the researchers found that
mortality was higher, as were expenditures and utilization, among more satisfied groups.
Other authors have observed this tenuous connection as well (Kennedy, Tevis, and Kent
2014). The controversy has intensified as more physician payment is tied to patient satis-
faction. Some issues that complicate this concept are the lack of common definitions and
measures of satisfaction and the complexity inherent in defining.

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Contributor, N. T. (2019, December 23). Communication skills 3: non-verbal communication. Retrieved from https://www.nursingtimes.net/clinical-archive/assessment-skills/communication-skills-3-non-verbal-communication-15-01-2018/
Non-verbal communication is primarily about body language, but other factors such as the layout or decoration of a room, or someone’s clothing or appearance, can also communicate messages. Non-verbal communication can be a supplemental for verbal communication and can reinforce or substitute a spoken message. The non-verbal communication can be different in each situation and each encounter. It is affected by the patient’s sensitivities, how one is regarded and the situation itself. it is very important to facilitate the positive non-verbal interactions in the health care settings. Body language can be crucial as it aids in communication and also helps to decode and react appropriately to other people’s visual and cues. Also, the cultural differences can affect the non-verbal communication as some non-verbal communication can be considered appropriate in some cultures. Thus, it is required to have some knowledge regarding cultural differences and cultural competence.

The non-verbal communication of clinicians has an impact on patients’ satisfaction and health outcomes. Yet medical students are not receiving enough training on the appropriate non-verbal behaviors in clinical consultations. Computer vision techniques have been used for detecting different kinds of non-verbal behaviors, and they can be incorporated in educational systems that help medical students to develop communication skills. We describe EQClinic, a system that combines a tele-health platform with automated non-verbal behavior recognition. The system aims to help medical students improve their communication skills through a combination of human and automatically generated feedback. EQClinic provides fully automated calendaring and video conferencing features for doctors or medical students to interview patients. We describe a pilot (18 dyadic interactions) in which standardized patients (SPs) (i.e., someone acting as a real patient) were interviewed by medical students and provided assessments and comments about their performance. After the interview, computer vision and audio processing algorithms were used to recognize students’ non-verbal behaviors known to influence the quality of a medical consultation: including turn taking, speaking ratio, sound volume, sound pitch, smiling, frowning, head leaning, head tilting, nodding, shaking, face-touch gestures and overall body movements. The results showed that students’ awareness.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
2. Medical Transcription: OverviewMedical Transcription: Overview
Medical Transcription
(MT) is the act of translating from
oral to written form (on paper or
electronically) the record of a person's
medical history, diagnosis, prognosis,
and outcome in order to document
patient care and facilitate healthcare
services. These documents eventually
become part of patients’ permanent
files.
3. Purposes of MTPurposes of MT
Ancient cave writings attest to the earliest forms of
healthcare documentation. While the medium
changed from metal plates to clay tablets, to
hieroglyphs on temple walls, to papyrus, to
parchment, to paper, and most recently to electronic
files, the reasons for maintaining records have
always been the same—to record an individual's
health care and the achievements in medical
science.
Verbal dictation is by far the most common method
for documenting and reporting the results of
examinations and procedures. Physicians generally
use either a cassette based voice dictation system
or a digital voice dictation system to record their
findings. Dictating reports verbally not only allows
physicians to be more thorough in their reporting, it
also saves them a great deal of time.
4. Brief History:Brief History:
Since 1978, medical transcriptionists have been
represented by a professional organization, the
Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity
(AHDI), which has developed a competency profile
(COMPRO®) and a model curriculum for
transcription educators, as well as a model job
description. AHDI emphasizes continuing education
for its members, holding an annual conference for
medical transcriptionists, educators, supervisors
and managers, and business owners. There are
over 135 component associations of AHDI, each of
which holds regular educational meetings and
symposia.
Through the efforts of AHDI, medical
transcriptionists have become recognized as
healthcare professionals with expertise in medical
language.

9. Salary expectationsSalary expectations
Annual income for full-time entry-level
transcriptionists typing hospital reports averages
between $20,000 - $35,000 - depending on location
and proficiency.
More experienced transcriptionists can expect to
make double or even triple that amount on the basis
of production - particularly if they are willing to
develop their own customer base. Unfortunately,
the pay differential between experienced and non-
experienced transcriptionists is not typically as large
in hospital settings where transcriptionists are often
paid by the hour. This is one of the primary reasons
that experienced transcriptionists tend to seek out
positions as independent or sub-contractors where
the opportunity exists to leverage their earnings
potential.

Consider that each day in hospitals all over the country, thousands of patients are admitted and discharged. Examinations are conducted, procedures are performed and recommendations are made. It is not uncommon for multiple physicians to be involved in a simple procedure for a single patient. Radiologists, Pathologists, Anesthesiologists, Surgeons, and a host of other medical specialists must all coordinate their efforts to ensure that patient care is both adequate and appropriate. Underpinning all of these activities is a complex web of medical and patient information. Each patient-related activity and procedure must be meticulously documented and then added to the patient's permanent record. Over time, all of this information accumulates in a centralized medical records repository where it serves as a critical resource for patient care - facilitating accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments. Indeed, timely patient care often hinges on the ability of Radiology, Pathology, and other specialty departments to quickly conduct their examinations and report their findings.
Rates as low as 6.0 to 8.0 Cents per line. Can be negotiable depending on the quantity.
