We are in a world of constant change. New procedures, drugs, instruments etc., come into effect daily or sometimes outplace the old ones. Updating information constantly is essential in any career, as is with medical transcription. With the good will of sharing some information for the benefit of my fellow medical transcriptionists, I’ve pooled in here some new terms/terminologies related to healthcare/medical transcription so that your search over the internet for these terms ends here and leave here enlightened. MT Daily and its partners have put a lot of hard work, time and money to acquire knowledge of these terms and the whole credit goes to them. Thanks for delivering these as free stuff to my mail box. You may subscribe to the paid option of MT Daily Rounds Newsletter to keep you updated with more such latest terms and of the latest happenings in the medical transcription/healthcare industry.
