Get this if you're thinking of a transcription career |
|
I bought this book when I started thinking about going into medical transcription. It answered a lot of my questions. It also includes some good ideas about what to do with your current medical transcription career. |

5th Edition is GREAT |
|
I've been an MT for years, and even worked as an IC for many of those years, but needed new information on contracts, liability insurance, and HIPPA compliance. Found it all in this book....and more. I think it's a great reference! |

Outdated |
Probably the most common reason to purchase this book is to gain information about becoming an independent medical transcriptionist, but I really was disappointed with this book as far as that is concerned. Technology and medicine both advance and change on a daily basis which leaves this book, printed in 2002, in somewhat of a dark age, especially now that the most cost effective, time efficient, and popular way of transferring all sorts of data is electronically.
While there is some good information in this book, I don't think the amount of information that is relevant is worth the price. Most of this stuff can be found on the internet more accurately than in the pages of this book. |

Quite Dated |
|
Despite being revised in 2002, much of the information in this book is still quite dated. For example, it still assumes WordPerfect is the standard for word processing software, and it talks about upgrading your computer to a 486!! Not sure what they did in that 2002 revision... Given how behind the times the book is, it is of limited usefulness. However, there are some good sections and it is a reasonable general overview of setting up your own independent transcription service. |
