NEW YORK, NY, April 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) The healthcare documentation sector is an important part of the entire health care picture. By proclamation in 1985, the late President Ronald Reagan established National Medical Transcriptionist Week; and it's celebrated the third week in May annually.
Medical transcription is the accurate transcription of medical records dictated by physicians and others involved in healthcare. Other types of medical records include pathology reports, psychiatric evaluations, discharge summaries, clinic notes, patient histories, laboratory reports, x-ray reports, and consultation notes.
A transcription service receives the dictation in the form of a tape or digital file. A transcription service uses earphones and a foot pedal for easy start-stop control. There are a variety of word processing systems used for medical transcription.
The successful medical transcription service has good listening and language skills as well as computer skills. Most importantly, a medical transcription service has knowledge about medical terminology. Oftentimes, transcription services specialize in the medical terminology for particular areas of medicine, such as radiology or orthopedics.
Several medical dictionaries are basic resources of a medical transcription. Reference materials include: a medical dictionary; medical terms listed by specialty; prescription and over-the-counter medications; laboratory terminology; surgical terminology; and medical abbreviations.
Medical journals, specialized word lists, and Internet research are often helpful for obtaining information about medications and terms that are so new, they aren't yet included in medical resource books.
Additional resources that are beneficial for medical transcriptionists are medical spellcheckers and extensive abbreviation systems such as Smartype.
The information transcribed by a medical transcription is typically pertinent, confidential patient information that is often printed and placed in patients' records.

Device proves solar cell potential of high bandgap inorganic nanowire arrays
2011-04-13
A report, published in the March 14 edition of the Journal of Materials Chemistry, announced the successful fabrication and testing of a new type solar cell using an inorganic core/shell nanowire structure.
Arrays of core/shell nanowires (described has "quantum coaxial cables") had previously been theorized as a potential structure that, while composed of chemically more stable large bandgap inorganic materials, should also be capable of absorbing the broad range of the wavelengths present in sunlight.
