The pause button - lack of understanding


Posted: Dec 20, 2010

Dictator states to another in the room - What's the button for pause on this thing?

Other person in room - Don't worry about it, just let it run...the secretary doesn't care.

What!?  Thank you for encouraging dead spaces in the dictation, I enjoy sitting here not getting paid, listening to papers shuffling and chattering in the background.  Oh, and I'm a Medical Transciptionist/Medical Language Specialist, not the secretary.

too bad we're usually not supposed to leave these ppl messages like - the "secretary" does care nm

Dictators And 'PAUSE' Button.
Jan 24, 2013

Does anyone know if EMRs still even have a pause command? Do dictators have any concept that they are forcing us to sit idly without pay while they flip pages looking for lab results, or reviewing a chart? Maybe the MTSOs should advise their clients that if they want their reports back within the specified TAT that they cannot waste hours of our time sitting and doing nothing. ...

SR: Do They Even Have A PAUSE Command??
May 15, 2015

Started a new job this week and I can't see how I can make minimum production due to the long pauses in every report I have done so far.  They must not even have a Pause command in the software, as why would 100% of the dictators suddenly stop using it?  I'm sure others know the stress of the threat of termination with each long pause dimishing their counts.  ...


Did They Eliminate The 'PAUSE' Command??
Dec 24, 2012

How would the doctors like it if every patient they saw paused for over a minute between words? Then they complain when we are out of TAT. Can they comprehend that for all the hours MTs are left sitting at their desks not producing because they are waiting and waiting for the next word to finally ooze from the dictator's mouths, they are delaying TAT for that report? I wonder if they are aware how much time we spend working while producing nothing. ...

Hourly MT Compensation Plumets From Dictators Refusing To Use 'Pause'
Jun 05, 2013

Last night I was stuck editing an ESL doctor who pauses so long between words my hourly rate dropped down to less than $2. an hour! I filed & painted all my nails between words, cleaned and organized my desk and sat for an agonizing minutes with nothing to do but wait. The neighbors could probably hear my yelling "COME ON!!!!! SAY SOMETHING YOU ____ _____ _____ _____"   Why do these ... people not even think to use the pause command?  The clients and MTSOs can bitch about TAT ...


Does Anyone Know If The Dictation Software Developers Omitted The "pause" Command?
Feb 17, 2013

What happened?? With my own accounts I've worked for 100 different doctors and every single one used the pause as a standard courtesy. Today - not ONE single dictator uses it, yet some still keep saying "sorry" when they have more than 10 seconds of dead air time. Do the dictators now consist of a new generation of rudeness or did they "forget" to include a "PAUSE" command in the programs??? ...
