Period Paragraph, Volume II – HOUSECALLS - contains more than 100 medical transcription dictation files.  These files were carefully selected from a library containing thousands of voice files.  The dictations focus on medical services to patients in their living environment – homes, ALFs (Assisted Living Facilities), and nursing homes.

Many medical services are available to those in need on an old-fashioned housecall basis.  In fact, more services are now available in the home than ever before!  Many doctors, nurses, and aides make housecalls.  Portable x-ray units are dispatched to residences.  Fitting of special devices, medical tests, and rehabilitation services are also provided in the home.

Hospice is a program that provides palliative care and attends to the physical and emotional needs of the terminally ill.  In many cases, these services are provided in the home.  Experience the compassion and the expertise that is imparted to these patients as well as to their families and caregivers.  Medical providers dictate their notes as they travel alongside their patients through the final stages of life.

Hours of practice are provided in a variety of specialties with a diversity of voices, dictating styles, dialects, and accents for the new and established Medical Transcriptionist.
