Imagine those medical transcription documents as your own data; handle the records as if you would handle yours. Both quality and quantity has to go hand on hand. The more efficient a medical transcriptionist in handling both these aspects efficiently, the more value and earnings potential for that MT either employed in a MTSO or as an independent contractor procuring orders directly from the clinics. Despite all the cons and outsourcing woes, medical transcription is still a stable, attractive career choice in these tough economic times.
