We apply two-tier system. Medical Transcriptionists are divided into Teams and each headed by a Team Leader. 100% of the transcribed reports are proofread/edited to attain the accuracy level up to 100%. QC level involves if there are still doubt or blanks in the file to ensure the high quality.

We also have a very focused recruitment program and unless the candidate clears the defined parameters they are not absorbed by Apex.
