Investments pouring into Davao City
Davao-based entrepreneurs are eyeing medical transcription as another potential industry to generate much-needed jobs. If only they can surmount the challenge posed by voice-recognition softeware.
By Germelina A. Lacorte

DAVAO CITY — Will medical transcription give hope to the country’s jobless? Yes, according to two entrepreneurs trying to attract students to enroll in a course on medical transcription here.
Defined as a process of typing out on a computer what a doctor dictates to a recorder, medical transcription is considered the second wave of job outsourcing available in the country after the call-center industry, according to officials of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Medical transcribers are those who make reports on medical records and treatment history of patients, among others. But while projections for the industry is bright, the jobs that future medical transcribers are eyeing may soon be replaced by software that are being developed and perfected by US companies now.
In an investment clinic inside the DTI office here, Lizabele Holganza, who runs the country’s first medical transcription program approved by the Technical Education Skills Development Authority (Tesda), and Shielamae Pe, operations manager of SSP Transcriptions, said it’s high time for the country to take advantage of the dollar-earning potential of this booming industry by attracting small and medium entrepreneurs to engage in the business.
Medical transcription is now a $20 billion industry in the US, with global demand for medical transcribers reaching an estimated 49,000 to 130,000 each year, according to MTC’s brochures distributed during the forum.
This huge global market is jacking up demand for medical transcribers in English-speaking countries like the Philippines, said Holganza. “The demand is so high that medical transcriptionists rarely look for work. Work finds them,” MTC said.
Pe said she is trying to invest in this fast-growing industry in the provinces to allow Filipinos to get a job without going out of the country. She also tried to downplay the threat posed by voice recognition software, now the subject of intensive researches in US universities that might potentially replace most of transcribers’ job in the future.
Voice recognition software allows one to dictate anything on the computer which will transcribe and process the data into a report. But although some of these software are now available in the market, there is still a margin of error that need to be corrected after the computer transcription, she said.
“It holds promise, but we’re not there yet,” Pe told prospective medical transcription entrepreneurs and students during the investment clinic inside the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) office here. “It will take time for this kind of technology to develop. It’s not going to happen that fast and even if it does, there is still that need to customize the software to recognize different speech patterns of people who are going to use it.”
The software is supposed to be a cost-saving technology because it will make medical transcription companies rely less on a huge workforce of medical transcribers. This link, http://www.voicerecognition.com/, for instance, advertise an unprecedented accuracy rate of 99 percent for its voice recognition software, promising its buyer to save time, say goodbye to transcription fee.
Both Pe and Holganza are urging small and medium entrepreneurs to go into the medical transcription business to generate more jobs for the economy.
The MTC brochure trying to entice students to enroll on medical transcription course said that estimated income for MT staff based in the Philippines alone can range as high as 18,000 pesos a month while home-based ones can go as high as 75,000 pesos a month and a low of 25,000 pesos a month. US-based staffs can earn a high of $40,000 a year or $30 per hour and a low of $25,000 a year or $8 an hour.
After a one-year experience in a medical transcription job, a medical transcriber can learn enough to go home-based, according to MTC.
Pe said that the salaries she is giving to her medical transcribers are way above the minimum wage and even higher than what private school teachers in Davao have been receiving. She said the salary range in Davao is way below those in Metro Manila because of the difference in the cost of living in the two areas.
Pe said it’s not only medical transcription but also legal and other types of transcriptions that are experiencing a boom in the US market.
To generate more discussions on the medical transcription business, DTI has slated another forum on “Medical Transcription: Its Business Prospects” to tackle the industry as a whole, the requirements in setting up an MT business, the MT learning systems and possible financial support.

I am very much interested in becoming a medical transcriptionist however i learned that I have to have a certificate or go to school to be able to apply as a medical transcriptionist. And here in davao the it ranges from 18,000 to 24,000. This is a lot of money. I would be willing to go on ojt for the company that will hire me as a medical transcriptionist rather than pay this much amount.

Try this site.
March 14th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
for SSP, Davao First, Javlon, and Brokenshire: I do not see your name in the List of AAMT educational or corporate members.
people: check this out. http://www.aamt.org then see all members of AAMT or American Association of Medical Transcription.
Do you have jobs to offer your students after they graduate. Do you have a US company affiliate?? I have friends who grduated from some of these schools and all of them dont have MT jobs.
March 14th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
I suggest for the MT graduates and soon to be MT students, go to a school with a US affiliate. Ask the school first if there are jobs. If there are none, then dont enroll. Be vigilant people of Davao and Cebu. Dont just believe in rumors. It might be that the company with rumors, they are the ones who can help you out.

Hello,
RxSecure,Inc. is currently hiring MT editors and Medical Transcriptionist. The company is located in Cagayan de Oro City. Five-hour drive from Davao City.
Interested Applicant email you resume to this address:
hr@rxsecureinc.com
April 10th, 2007 at 9:22 am
FYI:
SSP is not an educational institution, although we’ve learn a LOT from SSP (TY!), SSP is an MT company. AAMT or not AAMT? does it matter to SSP, nahhhh I dont think so…they’ve been in the business for 6 years and still going strong.
Actually, I did not undergo formal training in medical transcription…many of us did not undergo formal training but…does it make us less of a medical transcripitonist? Many of us are working home-based, working in other prominent MT companies nationwide that is because of our expereince, skills and effort not because of our school or accreditation to any institution…it may be an edge? but not a MUST BE…
So for those who want to become one of us…do personal research regarding the nature of work, don’t focus on the HOW much earning you’ll get but on the CAN i do it? surely, there is money in this business but you have to work hard to earn it and prove your worth to your clients to earn their loyalty and trust…
AAMT or not AAMT? A TICKE T FOR A JOB? may be –a help or an edge? but not a MUST BE or MUST HAVE…(mahal kasi wala ako credit card! and I already have clients they love me and my works 2 years na po and still going strong! apply2 lang…hindi kasi pinupulot and cliente…ina applyan po ito)
SKILLS AND PATIENCE- BETTER TICKET—MUST HAVE
April 15th, 2007 at 1:04 pm
Hi! WOW! This is a very interesting site. Thanks Shyra for defending SSP. SSP Transcriptions is a medical transcription company. We are in the business for five years (going six). Right now, we are into “production” but we have plans of putting up a training center. We are still processing the documents.
For the information of everybody, our main purpose in putting up a traning center is not really to make money out of it, but to eventually pull “hirable” students in our production. This is actually in preparation for our plans of expansion this 2007.
For more information, please call us at 224-5770.

April 16th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
MS. SHYRA is right about having skills and patience as the better ticket to becoming a successful transcriptionist.
I worked with SSP (w/o prior training) for only a month; yet, when i applied as an MT mentor in another company, under the supervision of a manila-based consultant, i readily passed the screening because of what i initially learned from work experience at SSP. A lot of transcrptionists with previous stint w/ SSP are doing so well as editors, lecturers and mentors now.
Most of the graduates in our training center are now employed as med transcriptionists - company-based or home-based, save for those who have been employed somewhere else while undergoing the training.
ANABELE, please observe proper decorum and avoid bad-mouthing other companies. that is very UNETHICAL. who are you to pick on highly-esteemed companies such as SSP, Davao First, Javlon and Brokenshire?

I am an MT with 1 year experience na. Med trans is not for everybody. Maraming pitfalls yan. I have seen colleagues who are still struggling despite having experience. Maybe it’s because of their limitations in terms of English usage, hearing acuity which is a skill that takes time to develop along with typing skills and some other factors. MT companies prefer to hire those with 6 months to 1 year experience and preferably with allied medical background. You are lucky if you are nonmed and get the job. Once hired, you should maintain accuracy and line counts because that is where the company earns. As a beginner or new grad, they will not pay a starting salary that’s high if you do not meet their standards. Tyaga muna sa mababa. It will take time before you could demand. You also have to have the discipline and the determination to learn to be better every day. Good luck to all of you!
