Do YOU get more lines doing op notes?

Does anybody know which column companies look at to decide if you are meeting the minimum 250 requirement in Escription? When I look at the metrics there are 2 columns...median lines per hour and average lines per hour. ...

if you make 4 cents per line at 1000 lines a day, they really calculate it at 500 lines per day x 4 cents, making it really 2 cents per line for the full 1000. I heard this, and I am really interested in knowing if it is true. ...

My main account was a good one, and the lines were very good, mostly ER work. I have been on this account for over a year and a half now. We recently received an e-mail stating that Nuance had discovered that the line count was charging incorrectly, as instituted by them, and they had been crediting us with MORE lines than we were actually doing and overcharging the client. Now get this, they informed us that they would not make US pay it back, for their mistake, but that our new lines would re ...

What do you do when you have the required hours but are short lines? I got an email that I need to "make plans to have my shortage made up." The only problem is that I'm up to date with my hours for the pay period so far. The other problem is that I have plans Saturday night and Sunday (both being my scheduled time off) that don't include TransTech. It's getting harder and harder to defend this company when they can't hold up their end of the agreement and continually ...

Just wondering if the TT MTs would like share ... how many lines do you average during the day/week? I'm doing about 9,000 to 10,000 a week and wonder if I should be pushing myself more. How much of your count is VR? I do probably 15% traditional and 85% VR but that, of course, varies week to week. ...

Which do you use - custom lines - 65 character lines with spaces or standard lines - seems like so much more for standard lines???? Cathy ...

I am having a discrepancy issue with lines....wondered if MS Word and Medquist use a different number of characters per line. Thanks.... ...

How many lines do you average per day - VR and traditional? I know it's been VERY slow lately, but when things are going well, how many lines do you normally get? I'm trying to figure out where the average numbers are. For me, I do about 350 trad and about 1400 VR in 8 hours. Well, my timesheet says 8 hours, but my clock says that number MAY(!) be a little higher. Again, these are numbers I pull when things are going well and I'm not waiting for work to download. I'v ...

I just got another email from my QA super saying that I should have left a QA note for a report, however I did. This is the third time this has happened to me. I have called support and they say there is nothing wrong, but I only work 3 hours a day (other full time job during the day) so I remember the reports that I type. Is this happening to anyone else? I've am already on probation and this isn't going to look good obviously, but I don't want to sound like I am making ...

When everything after heading is numbers (such as IV FLUIDS 1500 ml, EBL 2000 ml, etc.), do you spell out fifteen hundred milliliters and two thousand milliliters? That is how I interpret the rule of not starting a sentence with numerals, but it really does cloudy the waters and make the op note less easy to read. ...

If you insert a QA marker, how do you close the QA note box at the bottom? Ctrl+C doesn't work. I have to manually click in the report to get it to close. Is there a shortcut? ...

Have you performed your upgrade yet, did you have any problems with it, and are we required to do it? ...

I used to specialize in op notes but for the past 3 years I have not found a company where I could solely specialize in op notes so I have kinda gotten rusty. What I have noticed in the past 3 years is the few op notes that have come my way are by the worst ESL dictators. Is this a trend in op notes now? Does it seem that they are done mostly by ESLs? I was just curious as to other MTs recent experience with op notes, especially those who work is mostly op n ...

especially if you're on a southwestern account and doing editing for the first time. I started with MQ last month and feel very discouraged, mainly for all the minor negative feedback I'm getting. I'd like to know how the other new employees are doing so I can get a sense of where I stand. I keep thinking any day now I'll get a notice I'm fired. Email me directly and dish it out. ...

Did anyone who applied for the Surgical Notes position get a reply? ...

I have a chance to get in with an MT company that also offers their ICs a chance at live note taking. It doesn't pay too good, though, less than what the standard reports pay per audio minute. I have never done this. Can someone explain to me how it works? I have heard that "live notes are typed in one pass." What does this mean? ...

Did anyone else get the speech again about pend notes being too long? I can understand why they want us to be "professional" about it but if there is an ODD problem (and there always is!), how am I supposed to tell them? Today, it said referring physician was Alan so-and-so, so, there was no ALAN So and so in the list so, I had to leave a blank BUT, the HPI mentions Albert So and So. Um.... okay, but still no Albert so and so.... Then, back to Alan, so and so, then at the end, copy to Albert ...

Hi all, I used to be able to tell which notes I read on a forum, because they showed up in a different color. Something got switched on or off, and now I have no idea which notes I've read, and which ones I haven't. I use Google Chrome. A lot of things are different in Google Chrome than IE, and I don't know if this is an IE vs Chrome issue, but if anyone uses Chrome and knows for sure how I can fix this, please let me know. Thanks! ...

Hi, When transcribing ortho op notes, many times the procedure is very very long. Example: Right knee arthroscopy, subacromial decompression, capsular release, synovectomy, etc. Do you list these and number them or do you keep them in paragraph form? Thanks. ...

I lost my primary accounts recently and was switched to an account where most of the jobs are really short clinic-type notes (less than a minute). This pay period, my paycheck will be over $200 less than it was when I had my primary accounts, and I'm barely making my minimum line counts. I've been doing this job for a long time and have always had really good line counts before. I've been feely really down in the dumps like maybe I've just kind of lost ...

Excerpt: Free-text narrative will often be superior to point-and-click boilerplate in accurately capturing a patient’s history and making assessments, and notes should be designed to include discussion of uncertainties.” (italics DMCB).

Has anyone started to get more work in the last year (in a clinic setting)? It was steady for me a few years ago, and now I am overwhelmed with the amount of dictation I have!! Each of the doctors I work for are seeing wayyy too many patients in one day, thus more dictating, etc. Im putting in like 10-12 hour days now, whereas I used to only work 5 or 6. They are scheduling the patients all at the same time, making them wait in the waiting room for a couple hours, and ...

Does anyone have any ideas where I could find samples of town hall notes to get some idea as to how to set the page up? I did a search and really did not come up with anything. thanks to all with any ideas, I appreciate them very much!!!! ...

For some reason that makes me want to give it a 100% review. Thats like hiding someone in your closet and then saying "there's nobody here, but don't look in the closet." ...

I have 6 years' experience doing acute care, rehab and clinic notes, how hard to you think it would be for me to pick up ER? ...

Really enjoy transcribing Ops, but Ops have dribbled to few and far between and mostly brief reports on my accounts. Whatever happened to all the detailed op notes I used to get. Bored to tears with H&P, DS, and consults. TIA. ...

I'm using a Word-based platform that gets confused if I open a Word document while editing another Word document. For some reason the Notepad that comes with XP transforms itself to a Word document. I need to store QA info, lists and notes in a non-word format for reference while workign. I'd like to know what non-Word program others use for this. Thanks. ...

Does anyone work for Surgical Notes Transcription? I know they do ASC mostly. Do they hire ICs or employees? Thanks! ...

Do YOU get more lines doing op notes? - blondie

I think it varies. - I have heard others say that

In my experience, yes. - Op notes generally use a
