Business owner says loyalty of Atlantic Canadian employees is “unquestionable”
NEW GLASGOW – Central Nova MP Peter MacKay announced yesterday a $1 million contribution to a Toronto-based IT business, which is hoping to cultivate a medical transcription industry in Atlantic Canada.
Vikram Khurana, founder and CEO of Prudential Consulting Inc. said his company is already training individuals to work in the field, in partnership with community colleges in the region, including the Nova Scotia Community College.
Prudential's position is that by increasing the number of people working in transcription, wait times could be decreased, Khurana said.
And, on the decision to expand into Atlantic Canada, Khurana cited the region's competitiveness.
"The loyalty of employees in Atlantic Canada is unquestionable," Khurana said.
Medical transcriptionists ensure that the information contained in reports from healthcare professionals, doctors and specialists is typed properly so they can be accurately documented in a patient’s file.
It's expected some of the transcriptionist jobs will be filled by employees working out of their home, through a remote network.
MacKay said the announcement could mean up to 200 jobs in Atlantic Canada.
Funding to the company comes by way of a repayable loan through ACOA's business development program.
