Patient First abbreviation/short cut file - Can you transfer one into their platform
Posted: Jan 12, 2015
Many platforms allow you to transfer a file from another "system" which it will then convert into the short-cut file for that system. Are you able to do anything like this at Patient First or do you have to start over in building this file.
Thanks!
we use their computers.... - current employee
[ In Reply To ..]and we cannot load anything on it ourselves. If you got hired you might be able to ask our MIS department if it could be downloaded into Word but they would have to do it for you but I don't know if they will or not.
besides we have our own set of abbreviations that we adhere to so not sure if yours would conflict with that.
platform - another PF emp
[ In Reply To ..]Agree with prior poster that it is a question for IT since we cannot load anything ourselves.
You don't say if you currently do acute care, but if you do, you will find that the auto corrects you currently have will not apply anyway. We do clinic work, so you will be making a lot of new ones for more primary care situations and pretty much anything you have that pertains to specialties, labs, and operations are not needed.
Type of computer? - Curious
[ In Reply To ..]I'm curious about what type of computer a patient Fiirst supplies. A laptop or desktop?
Oopps! - Curious
[ In Reply To ..]Sorry about the misspellings, no glasses!

Short Reports
May 03, 2012
What are considered "short reports" according to line counts? It seems to me I have been typing a lot of them lately. Today, I have edited around 20 reports with only 1 being over 30 lines. This is typical on my account, but I am new so not sure if that has something to do with it or not. I have a pretty high requirement to hit, but with at this rate, it is pretty slow going. Is this pretty common? Thanks. ...

Pay For VR Editing ... DO NOT SELL YOURSELF SHORT

I haven't visited MT Stars in quite a while, but I noticed tonight some postings asking whether $10 or $11 per hour for editing VR transcription is reasonable. NO! IT IS NOT REASONABLE! Any seasoned, experienced medical transcriptionist who lowers themselves to edit for half of what they should be making as MTs is insane. We are destroying our own profession by not standing up for ourselves, our expertise, our experience, our professionalism. Not me. I'll ...

I Hate Really Short Reports..
Aug 07, 2012
Most of the time if a report is a minute or 2 long, that's no big deal. But I just had a report that was all of 20 seconds. I spent more time in the ADT screen (verifing and adding in things the clinet wants) than I did proofing it (ASR report like always), and it ended up being a measly 2 lines. Wow, I just made a whole 8 cents. That will almost get me a package of Ramen noodles. Thanks for letting me vent. ...
Do Not Sell Yourselves Short!! There Is A World Without VR.

So many of us have been "gobbled" up by Nuance in the last few years. So many of us are transcriptionists with specialized, honed skills, and those skills are valuable. Do not be deceived by a company who devalues your worth and causes self-doubt and continues to tout itself as the leader in the industry. I believe there are many facilities, doctors, clinics, etc, who do not want their work run through a computer to be deciphered. It may be time-consuming and seem like a fruitful task, but if yo ...
Short Term Disability
Feb 25, 2013
My wife just went on short-term disability and so far has received a check for 3 days that is peanuts. I'm getting zero help from benefits/PR on this and Hartford is really pathetic. I know you get 50 percent, but 50 percent of what? She's a Level III MT. I calculated last years gross wage, divided it by 50%, divided by 26 so that should be the STD but I'm not sure what Hartford considers a base wage? Our attorney is curious too. Any one experience STD through Hartford/MMod ...

Tips On Short Reports

Between downloading and uploading and time spent in ADT, I'm struggling with my line count and I'm wondering if anyone has good tips for how to approach these short reports in order to maximize line count. Please only respond with real tips if you actually happen to know any from experience (sorry, find a different job doe ...
Well Isn't This Just Great........Failed A Very Short

Because it's so short I got 90%. There is no coming back from that. No way to get back on the grid even if I got a slew of 100% reports in a row. And now that they wait 2 weeks instead of 1 to count your QA, this will follow me for 2 weeks instead of 1. Tell me, WHAT is my motivation now to continue doing well for the next 2 weeks? As a side note, I do NOT agree with that major error. Oh, it was a typo alright but it didn't affect patient ...
