AAMT believes that transcribed documents are a vital and necessary component to the healthcare record. Transcription accuracy therefore should be monitored regularly to ensure quality documentation and to ensure that medical transcriptionist professionals receive timely and consistent feedback. Attention to quality should reflect an understanding that even minor errors in the record potentially can create health risks for a patient, and can diminish the credibility and perceived competence of the healthcare provider.

The American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT) keeps medical transcriptionists up-to-date on the trends and challenges affecting medical transcription. The information in AAMT is vital to all who pursue excellence in medical transcription, from the medical transcription student to the most experienced medical transcriptionist. AAMT has been dedicated to the advancement of medical transcription through the education and development of medical transcriptionists as medical language professionals for over 20 years.
