Expanding Healthcare Sector Drives Demand for Medical Transcription Services, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) September 23, 2014 -- Follow us on LinkedIn – Medical transcription is the process of translating the entire verbal medical records regarding patient diagnosis, assessment, clinical course, therapeutic procedures, and prognosis, into a readable textual format, for easy accessibility by health insurance agents, patients, and healthcare providers. With attending physicians unable to make time for detailed documentation of each patient’s condition, outsourcing of such documentation to medical transcription services has gained significance over the years. Despite the prominent practice of in-house transcription in several healthcare settings, outsourcing is gaining in significance given its benefits such as, cost effectiveness, elimination of documentation backlogs, and low turnaround times.
Growth in the market is expected to benefit from the positive outlook in the healthcare sector. Aging world population vulnerable to numerous health conditions, rise in the prevalence of lifestyle induced chronic health disorders such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and growing need to comply with stringent HIPAA regulations, represent factors driving growth in the healthcare industry worldwide. Advancements in medical dictation will continue to revolutionize the field of medical transcription. The market is also expected to benefit from the rising need to comply with ICD-10, the latest version of international medical coding. The subsequent rise in the amount of documentation as a result of expanded coding is expected to improve prospects for medical transcription in the coming years.
As stated by the new market research report on Medical Transcription Services, the United States represents the largest market worldwide. With nearly 95% of Medicare bills in the country paid by insurance providers, every healthcare process for each patient requires careful documentation. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 8.9% over the analysis period. Growth in the region is led by the growing popularity of outsourcing medical transcription processes to low cost service providers in Philippines and India. Low labour costs, access to skilled managerial talents and operations, better capacity utilization, and well-organized labour deployments represent factors encouraging increased outsourcing to developing Asian countries.
