Posted: Jun 20, 2012

Anyone out there have any experience with Meditech platform? Keystrokes has been advertising a position for FT straight typing on it. Any input is appreciated.

Meditech is not a very good system for speed. I have worked on it twice and then refused to work on it a 3rd time. When I worked on it, the report was on different "screens." If you left a screen and wanted to make corrections to another screen, several keystrokes were required to get back to where you need to make the correction. May have improved (hope so) but not a good way to make any money. Works like an old DOS program.

Some Meditech is DOS, some is Windows, depends on which version. - Love Meditech

Meditech was installed at our hospital this year. Their newest program is pretty easy to use and easy to get lines.

I have worked on Meditech Magic before also, which looks like DOS. I did very well on it.

I worked on MediTech about 5 or 6 years ago in-house. I found it to be slow (compared to M-Modal) although I didn't mind it. Since I left that hospital, they had put in an extra monitor for the transcriptionists to use for switching screens. I don't really understand how this works for them any better, but I did find it a more cumbersome program and not very transcriptionist friendly when searching for a patient as we had to go into another program, but it could just be the way that hospital was.

Meditech/EMR
May 23, 2011

I work for a small hospital and we have just recently started typing our H&P's into EMR. The problem with EMR is that it uses Word (not Microsoft Word) and we have no auto correct and no medical spell checker. We were told that we could not get either installed in the EMR. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Also, we were told that we could not cut and paste into the EMR, which is what we had been doing due to no auto correct or spell checker, because it is noncompliance with the H ...
