any company that works offline in word? - anon

Posted: Oct 31, 2014

Quit a good job with a crappy company but finding I cannot get my line counts to where I need them to be with the new company. it's only been a couple of weeks, but I need to pay bills! I used to work for a small company that sent me batches of work and then I just worked in Word, not online in their system, and sent them back before they were due. Are there any smaller companies that still do that?

Looking for companies that hire MTs to work in MS Word offline, no platform involved. - Anon2

I'm looking for the same kind of job. Most of the MT jobs I've had were like that, where you just download the audio files and create a document that has all the medical reports in it that you've transcribed. They are all done in MS Word, without having to work in a platform of any kind. With those jobs, the company would just ask me how many minutes or hours of work I wanted to get sent each day and they would send it to me. There was no worry about minimum line counts. As long as you got the work done by the TAT, you were good to go. Now...if I could just find another job like that. Boy, those are hard to come by.

yes exactly! best MT job I ever had...nm - OP

Now, the platform is the interface for the EMR, so you can't really just do jobs in Word and then send them in, otherwise the company would have to pay someone to make into the form or whatever that the customer needed for the EMR. Thank whoever in gov't that said health info all had to be in electronic form before X date which I think is soon approaching or has already, I can't remember.

Unless you can find a private practice type thing somewhere to type for, I doubt many MTSOs are going to have what you are looking for.

You're probably right. - Anon2

I just remember that our clinic work would go to someone at the hospital who would separate all the reports and send them where they needed them to go.

Patient First. Download the patient list for the DOS and it all goes on one long Word document until that DOS is finished. Straight typing. No other platform or overlays on Word.

A company located in Georgia has set new standards for their new employees. They had recently restructured their company by laying off about 15 MT's. Then the newly hired IC's were given new work conditions. Full-time must produce close to 1,400 lines in 12-hours. Part-time must produce almost 700 lines in 12 hours. This is not going over well with either former long-time IC's or with newly hired IC's. This company apparently does not care how their IC's feel and w ...

Below is a link to an article about phishing and hacking into CEOs computers but this could be extrapolated out to include medical records. After all, I think the privacy of medical records is important and since Forbes recommends keeping valuable info offline, it follows. Now, those of you would think you won't have a job of medical records are brought back locally, think again. There were will be plenty of local jobs out there and the big national MT companies won't be calling t ...

Am a current Webmedx employee and would like some information so as to prepare and make personal decisions for this "new chapter". Nuance QA, are they really mostly overseas employees as a previous post alluded to? Does Nuance have MT- or QA-only positions or do you take whatever is the next report you get in the queue (be it a report to QA, a voice rec report to edit, or a report to transcribe)? Do you work on a set of accounts or does everyone do every account? Sounds like t ...
