Transcend - do they pay for headers in reports? - Curious


Posted: Dec 09, 2009

I tried to verify my line counts by doing a copy and paste into word from their system.   The only way I can come close is if I exclude all those "automatic" headers that are included in the templates.   Does anyone else experience that?   This really knocks a lot of characters out of my reports.   

Don't have answer, but what if you sm - tired

deleted the automatic headers and typed them in yourself. Would this make a difference?

pary for headers - metoo

Nope they don't. Only 3 lines for demographics - I think. They take away everything possible for themselves. It is a sad time, but as far as I am concerned, there is a judgment day.

Sorry for typo. My keyboard seems to have a mind of its own today.
Is this for all transcription platforms and VR platforms? - oh no

Last I knew, they stopped paying for headers in 2005 - that's when I left them. It made a big difference in line count.

supposedly for every keystroke, incl spaces, expanders, etc. - nm

footers, CCs, demos, etc., are really ripping off the MTs because it usually takes just as much time to search for & enter that info as it does to type the actual report! And I would bet most companies still charge the client for those lines even if they cheat the MTs out of them...

Headers

I know this has been here on the past but for some reason I still feel very suspicious about this.  Can anyone enlighten me if we are paid for headers?  I know somewhere around the time when they came out with the magnificient rewards plan I remember reading we do not get paid for headers that were not in their little Control-H box or whatever they call.  If you had to make up a heading that was not in the headers box we did not get paid for this.  Can anyone please let ...

Anyone Know How To Make Different Headers On

I have a bunch of follow-up notes and the doc wants each note on a different page all in one document.  The problem is some of these individiual notes end up being two pages.  Anyone know how to make second page headers for each patient like this?  I would like to keep the actual document header and not just space down under the header and put one in, if that makes sense.  Oh, and it's Word 2003.  Thank you! ...

Headers And Footers In Line Counts
May 28, 2011

Kind of stumped on this one.  I just recently started working for a company that does both VR and straight typing.  Luckily, have been doing more straight typing than VR, but noticed that after I did 20 or so reports my line counts were around 600-750 lines for those 20 reports.  Well I found out that the headers are not counted in our lines even though we may have to enter a date and sometimes even the patient name.  I was told by one of the supervisors that this is "now the ...
