Prepare for your new medical transcription career with the flexibility and convenience of distance education. As a medical transcriptionist, you will transcribe the dictated words of doctors to create error-free reports. Allied's Medical Transcription Course teaches you how to use common medical abbreviations, symbols, punctuation and grammar, while helping you to increase the speed and accuracy of your typing.
Allied Schools is pleased to announce that its comprehensive Medical Transcription Program is approved by the Approval Committee for Certificate Programs (ACCP), a joint committee established by AHIMA and AHDI that approves medical transcription certificate programs.
The ACCP approval committee is the process used by AHDI to identify quality medical transcription education programs that have been evaluated by a peer review process against a minimum set of standards for entry-level medical transcription professionals. The approval designation assures healthcare providers that graduates of Allied Schools' Medical Transcription Program possess the necessary job skills to attain success in entry-level medical transcription positions. Students are guided through a comprehensive curriculum providing them with more than 425 hours of instruction in the requisite medical terminology/English grammar skills and medical knowledge base (anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, laboratory medicine, medical specialties and procedures), and medicolegal requirements that ensure integrity and privacy in the documentation of patients' healthcare records.
The Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) is the foremost professional organization for healthcare documentation experts, including medical transcriptionists and others dedicated to the integrity and privacy of the healthcare record. AHDI (formerly AAMT) was established in 1978 as part of an effort to achieve recognition for the medical transcription profession. Today, AHDI exists to set and uphold standards for education and practice in the field of medical transcription that ensure the highest level of accuracy, privacy and security of healthcare documentation for the U.S. healthcare system in order to protect public health, increase patient safety and improve quality care for healthcare consumers. AHDI is committed to optimizing the execution of healthcare delivery by providing timely, accurate and relevant clinical information. For more information about AHDI, go to www.ahdionline.org.
