Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality." --Peter Drucker
The Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) has, since its inception (as AAMT) some 30 years ago, emphasized "quality" in medical transcription. (The Statement on Quality Assurance summarizes the organization's position: see www.ahdionline.org/scriptcontent/qualityassurance.cfm.) The international standards-setting organization, ASTM, has published "Identification and Establishment of a Quality Assurance Program for Medical Transcription." (Thanks to the indefatigable ASTM Subcommittee E31.15 on Healthcare Information Capture and Documentation.) Clearly, to all of us, quality matters.
But here's a question: What is quality? Here's an answer: Quality in medical transcription is defined as (1) adherence to the facts of patient care and to the health care provider's intentions in documenting those facts; (2) adherence to accepted standards of spelling and grammar; and (3) adherence to accepted standards of information presentation. In other words, quality equals accuracy and intelligibility.
