Both private and public sectors function within the health care system in Thailand. The government controls health care through a system of capping, which safeguards its interests while delivering a climate for competition. Consequently, the private sector has flourished and given shape to some interesting concepts in health care as it placed its focus on prevention, hospital care alternatives, neighborhood-based ambulatory care and home care.
The reality is that lots of countries around the world could benefit by analyzing health care system in Thailand and the innovations created in it. The health care system in Thailand is spread out in an active economy and a political system in which there is a new government about every 2 years.
The governments see infrastructure projects (e.g., health care) as too great for the budget so they allocate much of health services to the private sector. The private sector handles 50% of hospitals which enjoy US$ 26/year/patient from the government. The government presumes about 100,000 patients for each private hospital.
The government and third party providers are developing a variety of insurance plans. Private providers offer insurance plans according to public insurance plans. |

Out of the many work at home options out there, medical transcription is pretty popular. It's a great option for people who want to be home with their kids. The pay is good, as are the opportunities.
But it's certainly not for everyone. You really do need to be dedicated to it. You need to enjoy learning the terminology, typing for long hours and puzzling out what sometimes incoherent doctors are saying. It's really not an easy job.
A medical transcriptionist must be comfortable on the computer. While you'll only be using a limited number of programs on it as a transcriptionist, you need to use them well. If you have to stop and think all the time about what you're doing with the programs, it's going to slow your typing down. It will also make it harder for you to take advantage of tools such as word expanders.
You also must be comfortable working at home, with all the distractions and lack of supervision that this implies. This is why I always recommend to potential medical transcriptionists that they train with a quality online program. It gets you used to the working |
