April 15, 2002 -- MedicalTranscription.com announces the April 30 scheduled launch of TRANSCRIPTION MATCH, a unique and innovative service that brings physicians and medical transcriptionists together. The program, which has been under development over the past several months, has as its basis a complex database of transcription services and their abilities. When physicians initiate a FREE transcription match search, they are matched with services that can provide their needs based on capacity, specialty, technology use and more. Transcription services must be pre-qualified to participate in TRANSCRIPTION MATCH

VP of Information Technology John Nistad states, "We examined the various factors that are inherent in providing transcription services to medical facilities such as MIS integration capabilities, word processing software, and various dictation and delivery methods, and created an intuitive means by which physicians and medical facilities can search. They can even specify the number of service matches they will receive."

TRANSCRIPTION MATCH complements the online directory of transcription services at MedicalTranscription.com, where transcriptionists and services can be found based on name, city, state, and area code. Transcription services may opt for a link directly to their site, or create their own "service details page" on MedicalTranscription.com.

According to CEO Melinda Decker, "Our website is perfectly positioned to receive inquiries from physicians, hospitals and medical groups with varying needs. A recent survey showed that nearly 99% of our hits come from people who have typed in "MedicalTranscription.com" as opposed to launching a web search for anything related to medical transcription."

Continued Decker, "Every medical practice we hear from is desperate to find a solid, reliable transcription service. Every transcriptionist we hear from is in need of jobs. The problem was that they were simply not finding each other. TRANSCRIPTION MATCH was created to bring talented medical transcription professionals together with the medical practices and other organizations that hire them."

The website also levels the playing field for the local independent medical transcription service by enabling it to market itself alongside the bigger players in the industry. Participation is limited only to US and Canadian transcription companies, since these are the only areas from which physician requests are currently received. Features also include electronic medical records, ASPs, paperless systems, digital systems and more.
