Dear Friends,

Here are some interesting excerpts from the cover article in "For
The Record" - MTSOs & Platform Providers Battle for Clients,
Control
By Elizabeth S. Roop:

<Blue and others argue the MTSO decision should be based on a range
of factors that technology can't influence, such as quality, and
not just price. When technology companies offer transcription as
part of a bundled service or control vendor selection, they set the
price, and the MTSO must make it work.

As a result, it is often the cheapest rather than the best
qualified MTSO that handles a hospital's transcription services
through speech recognition. And while hospitals can voice their
concerns to the technology vendor that controls the outsourcing
contract and get a nonperforming MTSO replaced, they still have no
say in the actual selection process.

"They end up with a revolving door of service providers," Kivi
says. "In some cases, their expectations for a level of quality
that comes from the outsourced service provider is lowered because
they are switched from one group that's putting their cheapest
people on to another group that's putting their cheapest people on.
The hospital then decides that either they've got to bring
everything in-house, or they have to lower their expectations of
what the quality should be. If they bring it in-house, [the
technology company] has still achieved their objective of securing
their relationship with the hospital and securing the direct sale
of their technology.">
