Medical Transcription (MT) is one of the types of jobs that no one really thinks about. Many do not even know it exists. Having been a growing trend for a while, jobs are becoming harder to find for recent Medical Transcription Technology programs. One of the reasons that this is true is the act of outsourcing the dictated medical paperwork, many offshore. Pakistan, India, and other Asian countries are just examples of where our information and jobs are going. While an important part of our medicinal field today, HIPAA’s privacy rules apply only to healthcare providers, payers, and clearinghouses that are covered entities. This does not apply to MT’s necessarily therefore, information can be exchanged overseas for the work.
Backers of such practice site expense and convenience as major roles in the choice to outsource MT. It is hard to understand that the buck can be strong enough to render Americans jobless and put our medical privacy at risk.
The websites I found were far and few between with real information to them. I suspect this could mean a trend to keep jobs here? I plan to research this much further.
