Medical Transcription Company Celebrates 17 Years of Excellence

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —May 8, 2006—Thomas Transcription Services, one of the premiere Jacksonville medical transcription companies, celebrates 17 years of robust business and continued commitment to the medical profession. This timely celebration is most appropriate as National Medical Transcription Week begins May 15-19.

Founded in 1989 by Dee Thomas, TTS has established, well-versed, medical transcription professionals nationwide and has garnered respect as a trusted, valued expert among industry competitors. Because of her extensive years of experience and unparallel work as a certified medical transcriptionist, Thomas was recently named business spokesperson for the American Association for Medical Transcriptions' promotional video.

“We survived this continuously evolving industry by staying abreast of technology and embracing the inevitable changes to secure accurate healthcare documentation and system integration,” Thomas said.

TTS' broad services include transcribing medical records, patient history and physicals, discharge summaries, consultations, operative reports and radiology and imaging studies. With a well-qualified staff and properly trained consultants, TTS guarantees high-quality transcription results that thoroughly supports its clients in a timely manner.

Sharing her wealth of industry-knowledge, the veteran business leader has been appointed to the Student Advisory Council for Transcription at Florida Community College of Jacksonville-- validating Thomas as a sought-after expert.

“I accepted this position because we have a tremendous shortage of skilled medical transcriptionists nationwide,” Thomas said. “Students having a thorough understanding of what will be expected of them is essential to the growth our profession.”

Thomas' outstanding contributions to this industry and the Jacksonville community have won her many prestigious accolades. She's been recognized by the US Small Business

Administration as Minority Small Business Entrepreneur of Year in 2000, Small Business Leader of the Year by the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce in 1995, Small Business Advocate of the Year by the State of Florida in 1996 and as a fellow of the American Association for Medical Transcription.

However, aside from the medical industry, TTS prides itself as an optimist executing innovative concepts. With the intent to satisfy clients outside of the medical industry, the Nontraditional Transcription Division caters to the needs of educational professionals, the legal system, major corporations, faith-based communities and more. TTS provides video to audio conversions, transcription services for corporate and school projects, college dissertations, sermons, workshops, seminars, investigatory reports and case histories.

Thomas said, “We take the worry or concern for the finished product way from the author and we make him or her look good in print.”
