The question of "Why K-scribes?" can be answered in two parts. "Why outsource to India?" and then "Why K-scribes amongst other medical/legal transcription companies in India?."
India is one of the countries that is ideally suited to take up Transcription work from the U.S. on account of its geographical location (Time zone difference between India and the US) and the demographics of the country. India has a high percentage of English speaking workforce and the time difference of around 10-12 hours makes it seem that the profession of Medical/Legal Transcription is tailor made to be serviced from India.
The economics of outsourcing to India makes superior sense in maintaining the transcription overheads of a U.S. based HMO or hospital or transcription company at low levels. The price advantage that India offers has been on account of the relatively low cost of qualified workforce and the Rupee-Dollar exchange rate. Thus, the dollar cost of outsourcing to India could save anything between 25% and 80% of transcription cost depending upon one's present transcription setup and service expectations.
Why K-scribes? K-scribes is one of the leading Medical/Legal Transcription companies in this field in India. The company has been set up by a group of medical/legal transcription professionals (who had worked as editors, trainers, quality assurance heads and production managers) at various other medical/legal transcription companies before starting K-scribes. During the last 10 years, K-scribes has been delivering high quality, on-time transcription service to its clients.
