The most conceivable and recognizable threat
to the medical industry as a whole is the emergence of new
voice recognition software. However, in spite of the
advances in this technology, it has been difficult for the
computer to grasp and analyze the human voice and the
English language with all its diversity. Besides, as many as
software develop, there will still be people needed to edit
what is transcribed by the software. Hence, there will
continue to be a need for skilled medical language
specialists who expand their education and have the
knowledge to identify and edit the inevitable errors created
by speech recognition systems and who have enough
understanding of health records to create an accurate final
document. Medical transcriptionists will therefore remain
the ultimate qualified persons to discern the nuances of
human speech-indeed, the ultimate speech processors.

Many
providers overlook their own transcription departments and
employee transcriptionists. Providers are now rushing to
bring these systems and individuals into compliance.
Providers who use offshore companies are facing an unusual
twist on the HIPAA issue.
Offshore companies are not
subject to US regulations, but the physicians who
use them are.

Major
concerns exist over the quality of work coming from
outsourcing to these offshore companies. These
companies may increase the risk to patients and physicians
and how it is likely to increase susceptibility to
malpractice. There are numerous accounts of transcription
that is filled with errors, many of which are clinically
significant. Independent tests have found the accuracy
rates of these offshore companies to be only 60%.
