Would Electronic medical record take over medical transcription?
I don't think so because you will still need MTs to go over the EMR to edit and review it. Additionally, not all doctors want to use EMR.

I don't think it will ever completely replace medical transcriptionists. Following is a link to the U.S. Labor Departments prediction for the future of medical transcription. http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos271.htm
