Medical Transcription: Faster Than Average Growth Predicted for Coming Decade

The U.S. Department of Labor has projected that jobs in the medical transcription field will increase faster than average in the coming decade as the health care industry will continue to grow. See details at, http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos271.htm#projections_data

What are the main reasons for this expected growth?

  • Aging population is on the rise
  • More medical tests /treatment
  • More medical procedures
Many people within the US are expected to get trained and certified to join the medical transcription industry. Also an increase in domestic as well as offshore outsourcing of the medical transcription projects can be predicted. Getting good quality transcription work done at highly competitive rates from Asian countries like India and the Philippines has been a good method to reduce the overall health care expenses. To ensure good quality services from Asian countries International certifications are being made available to the medical transcription, coding and billing professionals in India. So that medical outsourcing can get better. For more details, go here.
