CanScribe Career Centre Has Incorporated BenchMark KB in Their Medical Transcription Curriculum

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CanScribe Career Centre announces that they have added the AHDI BenchMark knowledge base to their Online Medical Transcription Program. This initiative is an important part of CanScribe Career Centre’s continuing strategy to prepare students for meaningful employment upon graduation.

“Our mandate is to provide our students with the most relevant training and the BenchMark KB product is a perfect fit. It is a tool that our students will use when they enter the workforce,” stated Colleen Gaudet, President and CEO of CanScribe Career Centre. “Training our students on the latest technology gives them a definite advantage when seeking employment. Many of the leading medical transcription service operators are adopting the knowledge base and they will now realize another benefit when hiring CanScribe graduates. The faster our graduates can learn and integrate into an employer’s system, the more productive they will be, producing higher quality documents, and proving their value to the employer and in the industry.”

BenchMark KB provides its users with a robust knowledge base including Stedman’s® medical terminology and drug name content, a referring physician database, the AHDI Book of Style, mentoring tools and best practices, all delivered via web services in real time. Developed by InterFix, the Knowledge Base is part of a research initiative with the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI), formerly the American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT).
