Now, medical records of every person are mostly online and are saved or linked to this SSN. Now when some person, approaches a doctor or a hospital, doctors cross examine the patient, advice treatment for them and carry on their medical proceedings. All this is not types directly; it is recorded instead. These recordings are then sent across in the form of wave files to transcription companies. These files are then converted from wave files to word documents and are sent back to the hospitals where they are again restored and linked to patient’s medical records.
