The patient demographics are an integral part of the medical
transcription service. It forms the core of the data for any medical
institution. It involves a diverse set of public and private data
collection systems. During patient registration the personal data of the
patient is collected by the medical institution. These patient details
are usually transmitted by the provider as a fax or as electronic data
to the concerned Medical Transcription Company.
Transcription Companies are preparing medical documents per the data
received which has to be very accurate. A mistake in patient
demographics could lead to multiple issues.
Apart from the patient name,
there may be other data such as DOB, SSN# etc. which is considered
personal data of the patient.
Keeping protected patient data secure
Secure token-based transmission will not pass sensitive data to the
Medical Transcriber. This is a secure token-based method which can only
be compiled and read by the provider’s computer and the concerned
Medical Transcription Company’s computers. This is a feature that is
provided by the Transcription Company to its clients. While dictating,
the provider should tag the secure token ID. When the Transcription Company
receives a dictation, the transcriptionist will do a lookup on the
token for the patient info and DOS. The transcribers will only have to
enter the unique ID into their transcription platform. After the
completion of the transcription, when the transcriber uploads the job to
the client, the patient data corresponding to the unique ID is
automatically entered by the servers into the document, thus completing
the report with all the patient data included in it. This method will
give a major boost for the Transcription Company to gain confidence from
its clients with regards to the patient’s privacy.
