why not ask

all of the physicians in private office, who use SR (speech recognition) how much they save. I understand it's around $1600-2000 per month. Who are you to tell them they should spend that money because of your personal standards?

No one NEEDS a "medical language specialist." The medical industry survived without them for years before the AAMT decided that they did, and they can continue to do so. That's like saying every household can't survive without a computer or microwave. Yeah, their little niceties, but they're are not necessities. Don't confuse the two.

The AAMT BOS says:  "Do not use periods with abbreviated academic degrees and professional credentials." Yeah right. Like I'm going to give up two keystrokes (which AutoText takes care of, anyway) because of what that group says! Okay, so I'm not 100% accurate with respect to punctuation (according to the AAMT BOS). I don't follow the laws of the AAMT buddahs concerning the colon, dash, and a host of others. The companies and physicians I've served certainly never had a complaint. They still don't.

Explain something to me, like I was in first grade. If there are sufficient people who transcribe (India) and then proof (America) as there are to simply transcribe (America), then what's the need for outsourcing to begin with? Could it be ... do you think ... the love of money? But only for corporate America. It's different when a MLS charges the same 12-14 cpl. That's okay.

That "MLS is a must" attitude created the outsourcing issue in the first place. So, get off the MLS high horse before you get a nosebleed. You created the problem, now deal with it.

And just so we set the SR record straight, if it's used correctly the results are nearly 100%. You will only get dictation errors if you use words that are not in the dictionary. Get the physician to use the product correctly, and they won't even need any MT. I know this for a fact because I use the product on a regular basis.
