The Medical Transcription Education Center (M-TEC), a highly-respected and ACCP-approved online medical transcription training program, is concluding National Medical Transcriptionist Week by announcing recent student successes and program accomplishments.
Since its introduction, over 500 medical transcriptionists (MTs) have completed M-TEC’s CMT-RMT Review webinar series. Overall, nearly 2,500 MTs have graduated from M-TEC and now serve as medical transcription and clinical documentation professionals. The program reports additional success with their HIPAA Compliance Webinar Series, Increasing Productivity Through Technology Webinar Series, and soon-to-be-announced inclusion of Speech Recognition Editing.
“The importance of medical transcriptionists (MTs) and clinical documentation editors has never been greater as hospitals continue to report increases in physician dictation volumes alongside, not replaced by, EHR growth,” mentions Kim Buchanan, CMT, AHDI-F, Director of Instructor Development and Industry Relations for M-TEC. Even in the most technologically advanced hospitals, 62% of physician reports are created using dictation and transcription.
