Hospitals and other healthcare organizations are under continuous pressure to keep costs down and transcription is a frequently overlooked area of the organization where small improvements can yield large financial savings,” said Diana Carlin Maglott, President and CEO of Carlin & Associates.

“Our team calculates the Transcription Warning Index after completing an onsite review, conducting a physician survey and auditing the cost structure. This tool is especially effective in organizations with multiple hospitals when comparing performance between facilities and establishing current baselines” adds Dr. Steven Mandell, EVP, Business Solutions & Technology Innovation at Carlin & Associates.

The Transcription Warning Index works by evaluating four key variables – physician satisfaction, cost, quality and turnaround time – to calculate overall transcription performance. The higher a facility’s score the greater the probability that significant improvement can be achieved by the organization in the transcription process. In addition, the Transcription Warning Index also acts as an early indicator of significant risk and exposure in the current operations.

Recognized as a leading business strategist within the medical transcription industry, Carlin & Associates founder Diana Carlin Maglott has extensive experience in operations management and strategic planning consulting. Ms. Maglott has held executive positions at several of the nations leading healthcare companies and consulting firms. Most recently she has had direct management responsibility for global transcription operations in the U. S., India and Nepal.
