QA Staff Makes All the Difference
  • Most transcription companies hand-check only a small random sampling of their reports, just to identify any major issues their MTs may be having.
  • At IMT, every report is processed by our quality assurance team to ensure that even minor problems don't begin to creep into your important documents.
  • Our thorough review process adds value, allowing us to identify errors and carefully screen each report we transcribe for completeness, clarity, and quality.

In medical transcription, you get what you pay for, so only pay for the very best!

 

You Need the Right Template!

 

Manufacturers know this simple truth well:  When producing any item over and over, even where there are variations in the finished product, having a single basic starting point saves a tremendous amount of time and effort.  Since the same holds true for medico-legal reports, let us help you build robust and versatile templates that meet your specific needs:

  • Add automatic data fields to ensure that if any report information changes, it gets updated everywhere in the document, including headers and footers.
  • Include always consistent introductory information, report sections (history, exam, diagnostic testing, etc.), concluding paragraphs, and legal disclaimers.
  • Create macro-enabled templates to simplify data entry and prevent missing or incorrect data fields.
  • Build your CV right into your template rather than always sending it as a separate attachment.

    I have been a physician expert for 15 years. I have used IMT for a large part of that time and have worked with Gerri Newman throughout. I have also used multiple other transcription services over those years and none come even close to IMT's quality of work, their incredible attention to detail, the cleanness of their report product and great customer service interface.IMT is truly the "Intel Inside" of my forensic business. My business runs more smoothly and I provide far higher quality products having them under the covers of my operation. They do exceptionally well for rush requests, special requests and really anything I need when it comes to creating quality report products. I cannot say enough about my experience with them. Michael.

    IMT is the best medical transcription service I have worked over my nearly 15 years of doing independent medical examinations. I can't remember the last time their staff made a transcription error. Turnaround is also amazingly fast on a routine basis and President Gerri Newman is always accessible and willing to go the extra mile to handle special situations.
