The Role of Medical Transcriptionists in Collaborative Health Care


Anthony Amoroso is a board-certified emergency physician with US Acute Care Solutions. In addition, as the president of Brazos Valley Charting, Anthony Amoroso manages real-time transcription services offered to health care providers in Bryan and College Station, TX. He has also previously provider those same services in Killeen, Texas and New Braunfels, Texas. 

Medical transcriptionists play a key role in improving health care outcomes. Importantly, they make sure medical information is properly communicated and presented in patient health records. Doctors rely upon accurate medical information to provide timely assessment and treatment. 

Moreover, transcriptionists play a critical role in facilitating the flow of patient information in an increasingly collaborative health care environment. Patients are rarely treated by only one physician; instead, they are often treated by multiple specialists with expertise in different areas of medicine. Properly transcribed patient records ensure concise and clear communication so that doctors, nurses, and support staff can all access the same information, helping patients get well while preventing unnecessary complications.
