Actigy BPO delivers accurate, template-consistent documentation with QA review, turnaround SLAs, and HIPAA-conscious handling, so clinicians spend less time on notes and more on patients.

How does medical transcription outsourcing work?

Clinicians dictate; Actigy converts that dictation into accurate, properly formatted clinical documentation. This can be full transcription from audio or editing of speech-recognition drafts, returned in your templates and ready for the chart.

Every document passes a QA review for accuracy and formatting before delivery, and turnaround is managed to agreed SLAs. Access is scoped and logged under HIPAA-conscious practices, so documentation quality and patient privacy are handled together.

Scenarios

Common situations we solve

If any of these sound familiar, outsourcing transcription to Actigy is worth a conversation.

Clinicians are finishing notes late at night.

We take documentation off their plate with QA review.

Your transcription turnaround has slipped.

We manage routine and STAT SLAs and report on them.

You need STAT turnaround for some reports.

Is this the right fit?

When Actigy BPO is a strong fit

Delivery method

How Actigy launches your medical transcription outsourcing team

Every engagement follows the same pilot-first method, adapted to the controls your process requires.

  1. 01

    Process audit

    We map the current workflow, volumes, systems, exceptions, and quality bar so scope and staffing are based on evidence, not guesswork.

  2. 02

    SOP & KPI design

    We document standard operating procedures and define the KPIs and SLAs we will be measured against before anyone touches live work.

  3. 03

    Team selection

    We assemble operators and team leads matched to your domain — finance, clinical, compliance, technical — and your tooling.

  4. 04

    Training & knowledge transfer

    We run structured onboarding against your SOPs, edge cases, and systems, with sign-off before the team carries production volume.

  5. 05

    Pilot

    A controlled pilot validates quality, throughput, and turnaround against the agreed KPIs. We tune the process before scaling.

  6. 06

    Scale

    We ramp the team to full volume with capacity planning, coverage models, and the reporting cadence agreed up front.

  7. 07

    Continuous improvement

    QA sampling, root-cause reviews, and monthly business reviews keep error rates down and throughput predictable over time.

Visibility

What you'll see every month

Outsourcing medical transcription should make quality more visible, not less. Actigy reports on the numbers that matter and reviews them with you on a fixed cadence, so the operation stays accountable. The same discipline applies whether you run lean or at enterprise Healthcare & Clinics scale.

  • A QA sample of completed work, scored against the accuracy bar agreed at go-live
  • SLA attainment — turnaround and throughput measured against your targets
  • Volume, backlog, and exception trends, so capacity stays ahead of demand
  • Root-cause notes on any error, with the SOP change made to prevent a repeat
  • A monthly business review with your point of contact and the team lead

Engagement model

How pricing and engagement work

Actigy prices medical transcription on a transparent staffing model tied to scope, volume, and complexity — the cost-to-quality ratio, not an opaque per-transaction markup. Many teams run it alongside medical billing outsourcing and technical support outsourcing under one delivery team, with a single point of contact.

Start with a pilot

A scoped, paid pilot proves quality and throughput before you commit to full volume.

Staffing-based pricing

You see the team, the roles, and the cost. Capacity flexes up or down with your volume.

You own the documentation

SOPs and process knowledge stay yours, which keeps switching costs low and cuts key-person risk.

Clean exit and transfer

If you wind the engagement down, Actigy returns current documentation and supports knowledge transfer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is medical transcription outsourcing?

Medical transcription outsourcing delegates clinical documentation — transcribing dictation or editing speech-recognition drafts into formatted notes — to a trained team. Actigy returns accurate, template-consistent documents with QA review and managed turnaround, under HIPAA-conscious handling.

Does Actigy transcribe or edit speech-recognition output?

Both. Actigy can transcribe from audio dictation or review and correct speech-recognition drafts to a clean, chart-ready note. The approach is matched to your workflow and the quality bar for each specialty.

How is patient data protected in transcription?

Access to dictation and clinical text is scoped and logged, operators follow documented privacy and security practices, and handling is governed by a business associate agreement. Privacy expectations are agreed before any access is granted.

Can Actigy meet STAT turnaround?

Yes. Turnaround is managed to agreed SLAs with prioritization for STAT reports, and turnaround performance is reported so you can see that time-sensitive documentation is delivered on schedule.

Will documents arrive in our EHR format?

Yes. Notes are formatted to your templates and delivered into your EHR or document workflow, so they are ready for the chart without rework.

How much does medical transcription outsourcing cost?

Actigy prices transcription per FTE — a transparent monthly rate per role, set by the role and your specialty, not per line or per minute. A Tech Lead owns QA; choose a managed team or staff augmentation. We work in your EHR and dictation workflow and quote after a short process audit.

Is outsourced medical transcription accurate?

Yes, when every document passes a QA review. Actigy transcribes or edits speech-recognition drafts to your templates, checks each note for accuracy and formatting, and manages turnaround to agreed SLAs, under HIPAA-conscious handling.
