Sheila Campbell

Sheila Campbell, our President, has 30 years of experience in scientific, medical and technology related fields.  She has worked for such notable companies as Kodak Canada and GE Medical (Canada). Subsequently, she applied her extensive knowledge in the medical field to consulting for health care professionals.

In 2002, after managing a project for a company offering secure data transmission to health care providers, Sheila founded 2Ascribe.  She saw an opportunity to provide both ‘low tech’ (telephone dictation) and ‘high tech’ (WEBscribe – our new online client portal) medical transcription options to physicians, clinics, hospital groups and other healthcare professionals.

Sheila started 2Ascribe with two principles that she holds dear, that they provide excellent quality and customer service to their clients, and that the company maintain a low carbon footprint and be environmentally vigilant. She ensures that all systems are developed and monitored, to provide high-quality medical transcription with rapid turnaround.

Corporate responsibility is a core concern for Sheila, as well as everyone at 2Ascribe, and the company supports two charitable projects: 

• Hero Rats: working in Africa towards curbing the spread of TB by training rats to evaluate blood samples, more rapidly, accurately and at a lower cost than traditional laboratory testing.  Hero Rats can also be trained to detect land mines, and are the most efficient and cost effect way to clear land mines. 
• The Girl Project: an initiative to send girls all over the world to school (which is important to us as the majority of our transcriptionists and editors are women) 

Clients who refer other healthcare professionals to 2Ascribe are thanked with a Charity Gift Card from CanadaHelps, which allows them to donate to the charity of their choice.  In the past year, clients have made donations to such charities  as children’s mental health programs, cancer research and Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto.

Transcriptionists

All of our medical transcriptionists are extensively experienced in multiple medical specialties.  Clients are assigned to work pools based on their specialties, and matched with our transcription groups expertise to ensure excellent quality and consistency.  Many are also qualified CMTs (Certified Medial Transcriptionists by the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity in the United States). 

Their expertise includes everything from referring letters from specialists to Independent Medical Legal Reports.  They transcribe letters, patient encounters (including formatting them for integration into Electronic Medical Records), record reviews and all other required documentation. 

Our medical editors are responsible for quality control and consistency.  Each editor is assigned particular accounts within their particular specialties, so that they get to know individual dictators and their preferences and idioms.  They are chosen based on their medical transcription experience, their command of the English language and their ability to ensure that all documents are formatted to client’s specifications.

Many of our transcriptionists and editors have been with us for over a decade, an important aspect of our maintaining quality control for our clients.
