Medical Transcription and TASP


By Ricci Mathew



Medical Transcription is not a cottage industry anymore as it used to be a few years ago. Digitization in this sector has changed the scenario and the work environment. Earlier, I remember the days when Medical Transcriptionists (MT) had to take trips every week to the client offices for audio tape pickups and delivery of work. TASP stands for Transcription Application Service Providers. Today there are many web based application service provider platforms that caters to different types of large, medium, small and also individual home based MTSOs (Medical Transcription Service Organizations).



The TASP type of files routing system is very efficient. It manages the entire process or life cycle of the document, right from the time of dictation at the hospital / physician's location to sending it for transcription/editing to the MT and back to the medical professional. This type of system does save a lot of time and money when compared to the earlier transcription methods. There are dial in systems that take dictations. Playback happens when the residing codec (analog to digital converter) creates a digital sound file that the medical transcriptionist can playback and transcribe.



What are the benefits of going for such a digital technology for these transcription companies? Well it includes,



  • Transcription companies benefits include,
  • No capital investment
  • Lower telephone costs
  • Better work distribution with a
  • Fully functional work pool module,
  • Prompt feedback and
  • Higher accuracy
  • Prompt feedback
  • Shorter turnaround time
  • High security of documents
  • Hassle-free document delivery.


  • It has been known that there are visually impaired transcriptionists who can quite effectively use TASP software during medical transcription. There are many companies that have come out with TASP software that are available online. Here are some of the features of such TASP software:



  • It has an online work flow management system that has superior control
  • It facilitates all the modes of Digital Dictation (toll-free, digital recorder etc.)
  • Online Patient record is maintained
  • EPR (Electronic Patient Records)
  • Online service saving hardware, software and setup costs
  • Fully secure data transfer
  • HIPAA compliant transfer
  • Fault Tolerance and Redundancy


  • Online transmission of files in a TASP is always done by encryption of all files using 128 bit encryption making it totally safe and secure. One of the biggest advantages of TASP is the fact that clients do not have to invest on any kind of infrastructure at all because all that is required is an online connection and a computer for operation.
