2007 Medical Transcriptionist Survey, Bentley College

For over a year, a team from Bentley College (now Bentley University) engaged in a comprehensive study of the medical transcription industry. The first study of its kind, it provided important information regarding the role of the industry in healthcare. The study includes an examination of how MTs perform their work, off-shore medical transcription, the development and implementation of quality improvement technologies, the role of speech recognition on the production process, and evaluation tools to gauge industry performance.

The study was completed in early 2008, with preliminary results related specifically to medical transcriptionists released in May of 2008. Click the link below to access this survey.
