Source-India, Destination-USA.

       The concept and benefits of outsourcing is well-known to the Medical Transcription industry. In the last one         year India has shown an amazing growth in this field. The large pool of IT professionals, the onset of        internet revolution and the encouraging policy changes have catapulted India to No. 1 position as a source        of MT services. India offers the following main advantages:

       1.  Accuracy.

       2. Cost Savings.

       3. Turn-Around-Time.

	1. Accuracy : Virtually every educated person in India knows English. This is a great                          advantage since Indians can be quickly and easily trained in Medical                          Transcription to delivery high levels of accuracy.

	2. Cost Savings : The wage levels of MT's in India are considerably lower than those                                 in the US or other developed countries. Thus Indian Companies can                                 offer highly competitive rates for comparable services. This                                 translates into big savings for US hospitals. American MT companies                                 can bolster their bottom-lines by sub-contracting to Indian MT                                 Companies.

	3. Turn-Around-Time (TAT) : TAT is critical in this industry. Since India is 12 hours                                                      ahead of the US in time zone, Indian Companies can                                                      offer the natural advantage of 12 hours quicker TAT.
