Not Outsourcing? You're Paying Too Much.
For decades, the healthcare community has realized the benefits of outsourcing to not only improve quality but to contain costs. At EchoScribe, we have made it our business to partner with hospitals, clinics and private practices of all sizes and budgets to maximize outsourcing potential. We’ve helped facilities save thousands of dollars annually by simply moving from an in-house to outsourced transcription model.
No Fixed Costs
Outsourcing to EchoScribe makes transcription
costs truly variable. With us, there is no transcription
cost if there are no dictations from you. If you choose us,
savings are immediately realized from our per line fees,
which are the lowest in the industry (ranging
from 8-10 cents per line).
Increased Focus
Running a transcription department within a healthcare facility
is often a drain on resources and keeps administrators and
doctors occupied with mundane issues that can be easily outsourced.
Smooth running of a transcription department becomes a priority
and a full time job for many, and takes away precious resources
that could be better spent on patient-care. In addition, outsourcing frees up valuable
office space…a much sought after resource at most healthcare
facilities.
Shrinking Labor Force
Independent studies indicate that the number of qualified
transcription professionals in the U.S. is reducing
steadily. According to the Medical Transcription Industry
Alliance (MTIA), the decrease is about 10% every year.
There were 350,000 transcription professionals in the
US in 1997, and that number is reduced to 101,000 in
2002 according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This
trend makes it necessary for a healthcare facility to
be prepared in case there is an acute shortage of transcription
professionals in its area. Outsourcing addresses this
problem effectively. Today, outsourcing offers better
quality and guarantees to healthcare facilities in terms
of accuracy, turn-around-time, and customer service.
