Global Medical Transcription Services Market: Restraints

One of the basic problems faced healthcare IT outsourcing companies is that they opt for full-fledged MT business. This often results in backfiring for small MT companies. Requirements of each healthcare IT outsourcing companies may be different. These requirements depend on factors such as available infrastructure, customer preference, availability of manpower and skills. Thus it is often advisable to such organizations not to opt for full-fledged MT business until the above-mentioned factors are aptly addressed to. As the MT business require large financial investments and time, it is not justifiable for the organizations to enter in this business until these resources are optimally utilized. On the other hand partial medical transcription implies the implementation of MT to perform certain functions exclusively. Though MT is a flexible application, it is often advisable for such organizations to avail services of an MT consultant to decide on the plan of action as to which form of business is to be opted for.

Moreover, stringent regulatory scenario is also expected to limit growth of the market. Service providers have to deal with various state, federal or other government regulations. For instance, in the U.S. the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) dictates many aspects of medical record handling.
