In 1996, the United States Federal Government enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The purpose of this act was to increase and further insure the use of technology and the use of digital data transactions to improve the privacy of personal medical information by those handling this data. In addition to insuring privacy of personal data, it was to also help increase the efficiency of the U.S. health care system.

There are two Title’s in this act. Title I addressed the group health insurance liabilities. Something that is not necessarily pertinent to this particular entry,but good information to know should you ever need it.

Title II addresses the concern of preventing health care fraud and abuse and what the liabilities to administration are.    We will be addressing this element for those that might need the use of a Medical Transcriptionist.

The HIPPA established many elements of security safeguards that need to be adhered to by anyone handling medical transcription or records.   These are in three categories:

• Technical – This covers the element of data transmission and how it is handled by secure transmission and what procedures to implement in case   of security.     It is provided to the government for approval prior to providing the services.

• Physical – This element covers the physical hardware, accessibility to said hardware and workstation requirements for use and privacy.

• Administrative – Policies and standard operating procedures that will be provided to how they will comply with the act. These include elements of who deals with the records, organization of records, storage of records to disaster recovery of data.

Each of these elements is written down in more detail and can be found under Title II in the HIPAA. ALL Medical Transcriptionist services should be HIPAA approved and compliant.   Make sure that if you are dealing with sensitive information that security elements are put into place to keep your documents and information secure, even if you are not asking for Medical Transcription to be done. Security is also a vital part of our service to you, our client.   Ask us about our procedures and our privacy policy we will do our best to certify that your documents are handled with the utmost care.

If you had the chance to make an investment that would essentially pay for itself would you do it?  That’s exactly what transcribing does for you.  Essentially giving you a viable product that gives those who use it wisely could pay off in unlimited amounts in many creative ways.  Transcription of speakers lectures, seminars, educational endeavors, personal memoirs and so much more can and does provide an element that some may not be aware of.

Speakers with the ability to transcribe their lectures can essentially turn it into an e-book to sell on their website.  With a bit of work, the information they provide can be offered as a teaching tool that some can pass along.  More and more people today want to find easy ways to get direction in what ever subject they are learning. E-books have been extremely popular and there are many good sites that provide even the sales and download capabilities for those who write them.  Your lectures could populate not only the convention hall, but it can also invade the offices and living rooms of those who want to learn more.

Once your lectures and seminars are transcribed, it also gives you a great opportunity to quote yourself through out your website giving tidbits of crucial information that can lead to sales of other products that you offer.  Essentially, making your words the proof-in-the-pudding for those who need to know more about you.  Those quotes can also be shared through your social networking giving you and your followers food for thought and passing on the words of advice and wisdom to others giving you the ability to extend your network beyond what you might have possibly thought.

Written words, transcribed, also provide an extensive element for your blogs and quality website content.  Why re-invent the wheel when you already have the wheel in front of you. Use it… Extend your blogs into parts giving your readers the need and want to return to your site to read more.  An Internet saga if you will that not only educates but produces a loyal following, a strong network, quality website content and best of all, a great way to supplement your income.

We welcome new ways that people have used their transcription to help make them successful.  Feel free to drop us a line at support@protypists.com.

Sometimes it is just a matter of keeping things simple that helps.  Because of that, our rate schedule has changed a bit and we have simplified the way we price each project.  If you see our rates page, you will notice that you will see our basic rate, but if your project is NOT within that realm, we will quote it for you.  Because of that, we also guarantee that your quote will not change in the middle of the project!  We have a set list of questions that we will ask you before we ever determine the final cost of your project.

NO SURPRISES!

In an economy like today, that is ultimately a relief for ALL of our valued clients.

According to Wikipedia, A ghostwriter is a professional writer who is paid to write books, articles, stories, reports, or other texts that are officially credited to another person. Celebrities, executives, and political leaders often hire ghostwriters to draft or edit autobiographies, magazine articles, or other written material. In music, ghostwriters are used in film score composition, as well as in pop music such as Top 40, country, and hip-hop. The ghostwriter is sometimes acknowledged by the author or publisher for his or her writing services.

At ProTypists.com we are ghost writers in the sense that we provide smaller articles and blog entries based on the topic that we are hired to write about.  We enjoy writing and editing smaller articles as we learn so much in making our research quick, down and dirty and ultimately giving ourselves the opportunity to write about hundreds of different subjects in a months time instead of working on one huge manuscript.

Most of the time, our talents are dedicated to the editing and proofreading as well as maintaining the content of pages, and web sites all over.  Many clients have even found our skills to better their pocketbooks by selling their information and words in e-book format which we can layout.

Some ask us why we would do all the work and allow someone else to take all the credit.  We don’t.  If we are good our clients give us credit where credit is due and we have yet to have a client not give the praise our work deserves.
