Read on to understand why.
- Increased pressure on doctors is now common-place and they are reliant on their internal typing resources to turn around dictation ‘fast’.
- Anxious patients expect to receive their letters ‘overnight’! A seven day wait for a letter is unacceptable in today’s tech-centric world.
Stark reality: ‘the day to day running of a clinic or general practice is often unpredictable and typing is regularly delayed’.
The answer:
Today’s digital demands require faster documentation turnaround and increasingly clinicians are turning to outsourced transcription providers who are reliable day-in, day-out, 24/7 to provide this service.
The following points illustrate the additional advantages in outsourcing your transcription needs:
- By paying for outsourced transcription instead of paying staff full-time, the budgeted fixed cost becomes a variable one.
- Temporary staff have always been expensive, double that of regular staff due to the additional time spent in induction. Outsourcing this element can provide clinics with 70% savings on temp staff.
- Experienced medical secretaries will always be better than voice recognition, or poorly qualified temps, as they will understand the medical context of the dictation, and will spot clinical dictation errors thereby ensuring that the letter makes sense and reducing clinical risk.

Why is Dictation More Efficient than Typing?
Well, the simple fact is that we can all speak considerably faster than we can physically type:
“The average person types between 38 and 40 words per minute”.
A “good rate of speech ranges between 140 -160 words per minute.”
In other words, dictation is up to four times faster than we can type. Therefore, simply dictating a document is more cost-efficient, giving you more time to dedicate your efforts elsewhere in your business.
Therefore why not add OutSec as a business continuity option for your business? Accounts are free, you pay on a per-minute basis (rounded to the nearest minute) on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no contracts or minimum spend. What do you have to lose? Why not open an account today!
