OSI line counts.. - Line-cheated
Posted: Aug 05, 2010
I was wondering if anyone knows exactly what OSI cuts out of their line counts? Seeing as they use a remote website for line counts, it is pretty obvious they cut corners with what MTs get paid on. I was just wondering WHAT are the cutting? Do they only pay 1 space? Do they not pay if you copy and paste? Do they only pay on a % per page - meaning if you have little on 1 page you aren't going to get any credit for those lines, etc? Just curious as to why my line counts are dramatically lower at this company!! Seeing as they only give you a total line count at the end of the day with always 2 to 4 reports lagging behind, it's hard for me to pinpoint exactly what I am NOT getting paid for, conveniently!!

[ In Reply To ..]using the Dictaphone ExText software and getting your line count from the remote site where there is an automatic amount deducted per report for headers/footers, which can be anywhere from 11% to 20%, depending on how it is set. Maybe something like this is happening to you at OSi. MTSOs can set these platforms to count lines the way they want them to count. A disgrace.
and wondering - wise1
[ In Reply To ..]Say if they want you to make perhaps 14.00/hr no matter how much you type ...can they set if to do that??

Line Counts And ESL

I know this has been discussed before, but what is up with these line counts? I used to have no problem doing 200+ lph.

I won't even comment on the fact that my straight typing has dwindled away to maybe 10 lines a day...on a good day. Thanks for listening...this is just all so very frustrating. I try to keep a positive attitude and be very diligent about my work and ...

What Could Be The Reason For Odd Line Counts?
May 12, 2010
According to the Escript, I'm doing an average of 300 lph on VR but usually at the end of 8 hours, I don't top 1100 liines most days. On Dictaphone's ExSpeech, i used to consistently do 1800-2400 a day on a combination. I have noticed with EScript that 1 day a week, my lines will hit 1200-1300, and I even hit 1500 one day, yet the lph were still 300. It doesn't make sense. No, I do not take breaks. Half the time I don't stop ...

I kind of feel dumb even asking this question but how does one get these 300 lph counts I've read about on here? I have 12 years plus years experience and have only worked in 2 different hospitals. We never had expanders so I don't really know much about them. I average about 180 lph but am realizing now working for an MTSO that I am going to have to increase my line counts. Thanks! ...
Line Counts And Templates
Jun 22, 2010
Hi - I have a question regarding counting templates. I have a new doc who wants me to only count what he dictates, and not the templated review of systems, past medical history, social history, etc. which is all unchanged (unless he says to change it). Do you cut and paste your work into a "count" file to get the total, or do you tell the doctor that it has to be included in the count. And what about the times he does make changes to the "templated items". I welcome any suggestions. ...
Regarding Consistency In Line Counts...does Anyone Else Have
Jul 17, 2010
extreme trouble being consistent in their line counts? Some days I struggle to get half my lines and some days I can double them. Of course there are factors that influence that like lack of work, which account I am on, if I am having technical difficulty or if I am having an off day personally, but when I look at my timesheets, I look like the most random person on earth. I know many people say they work 7 days a week to get their lines, etc., and I have most certainly been th ...

What Line Counts Standards Are Out There

I am just curious as to what line count standards are out there. What are your line count requirements for the day and how much do you use your QA for things like missing encounters, unable to ID patients, incorrect work types? Where I work our standards are relatively lower than other places, however, we also are required to match encounters, determine the work type, send an email for each work type or inrcorrect MRN, create a temporary patient if we cannot find the patient anywhere in the s ...

Line Counts - What Am I Doing Wrong?
Mar 15, 2011
I have been an MT for over 10 years doing hospital work. I have never been able to do much over 200 lines an hour straight typing except for the rare occasions I get several eye surgeries in a row that are canned. Usually I fall below this. My account is not difficult, but I do have a couple of different hospitals and of course many dictators. I have put a lot of their ROS and PE in my shortcuts, but of course they make a lot of changes sometimes. There are those that take forever to spit i ...
