Silent Type Information

Silent Type is a leading provider of medical transcription and documentation management services for health care providers. With 30 years of industry experience, the company has earned a reputation for reliability, integrity and responsiveness. In the late 70s and early 80s, a nurse named Marilyn Trapani was disturbed by the lack of organization and completeness in patient documentation practices. And as she saw patient notes and other records becoming more critical for reimbursement, she also saw that hospitals needed help gathering and organizing clinical documentation. Marilyn recognized that discipline and exactness in dictation and transcription, coupled with technology, could improve documentation by leaps and bounds. And in 1982, her vision became reality when Silent Type was born. Over the last 30 years, Silent Type has experienced health care history firsthand: Cycles among providers of mergers and acquisitions and divestitures and reorganizations, the rise of managed care, prospective payment systems and now, ICD-10. Amid all the upheaval, Silent Type not only survived—it thrived. What has made Silent Type the successful company it is today? Sticking with its original vision of documentation excellence and cutting-edge technology has helped. But in the final analysis, an unbending commitment to its clients has been the key. Silent Type has become a leading provider of reliable, easy-to-access medical transcription. But take a closer look, and you’ll see that the company is that and more. In addition to providing timely, accurate medical transcription services, Silent Type offers documentation management and archiving, as well as technology that enables clinicians to dictate by iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry, voice recorder or telephone. If you’re looking for better value in your medical transcription from a company the health care industry trusts, turn to Silent Type.
