pathway. It is the mutual goal of the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) and the Medical Transcription Industry Association (MTIA) to ensure the skill set of the medical Transcriptionist provides a value-add solution in this new model.

They forgot a word in that statement. I should read ensure the skill set of the U.S. MT's via the degree we are pushing that they must have. Nevermind the Indian's have no skill set requirements as proven by the quality of work they produce. I too was at those conferences when this whole mess started and I watched the house of cards come tumbling down in favor of the almighty dollar that could be saved by sending the work to India.

No thanks I will write my own letter telling them what I think of giving away American jobs at the cost of quality patient care.
