Bentley 2007 Survey of MTs - garydavid
Posted: Aug 26, 2010
Hello,
In 2007 many MTs (around 2800 in fact) took part in the general survey of MTs. The final report has been completed an is available for anyone who wants it. You can find it here
http://ehealthrecords.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/2007-mt-survey-final-portrait.pdf
There is still a lot to do with the data, so I am hoping more will be coming from that survey. In the meantime, thanks to all of those who took part. And for those that didn't, we are planning another survey to be available soon, which will provide a comparison over the last three or four years.
As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.

Awesome survey! - mt2long
[ In Reply To ..]Kudos on an excellent survey (and if I may say so much more meaningful than the Hay Study ever was.)
I look forward to your next endeavor with MTs.
it's 3 years old?? - n/m
[ In Reply To ..]n/m
Ever done a professional survey? - They take time
[ In Reply To ..]Unless you're funded with tons of money, they take time.
I still think it was good information.
It will be really interesting to compare the next one with this one!
Thank you, Professor David - Poppy
[ In Reply To ..]It's very interesting reading (of course--it's about me!), and I'm currently printing it out to go over more carefully.
I'll be happy to participate again in your next survey and look forward to the results.
This is wonderful! Thank you Dr. David - MTPockets
[ In Reply To ..]For giving us a voice! We're somebody. This was a very interesting study. Thank you for undertaking the study and for publishing the interesting results.

Jul 13, 2010
I have a question- Can it be June 2007 or June, 2007 either way or does it have to be June 2007? Can I have it with the comma? The doctor corrected my report (he wants a comma between June and 2007) I didn't think that was correct "The patient saw me in June, 2007" ...

Hello, My company uses Word 2007 with Enterprise Espress Editor. When we receive our documents in speech the physical exam is in a format where all the headers are one right under each other and we need to put it in a paragraph format.

Word 2007
Aug 19, 2014
Hello, My company is using Word 2007 and we just decided to change the way we format our office visits. Instead of listing the medications in a paragraph form with commas after each medication we are listing them in a column and numbering them. Our problem is that when we get the dictations in our speech format they are in a paragraph. Is there a way of converting the paragraph to a column so they can be numbered or do we have to just do them individually? Thanks, Glenn ...

Autocomplete Add In For Word 2007??
Mar 22, 2010
I recently upgraded to Office 2007. I previously utilized both Autocomplete and Autotext. Using Autocomplete in conjunction with Autotext allowed me to not have to memorize as many hot keys. Well, as many of you probably know, Word 2007 no longer has the Autotext function. It has been replaced with Building Blocks, which to my understanding, requires you to create hot keys for the entries. My question is, does anyone know of an add on for Word that can be bought (o ...

Just read through the survey without answering the questions. Waste of time! No matter how many of us answer it and regardless of what we say, after it is all over they will tell us that MQ employees love the company. This is just a way to try to placate us and make us think that our opinions count. You can all take turns flogging me if I'm wrong. ...
My Take On The SURVEY.....
Dec 06, 2011
I am an MT who has been around for 14 years with this company and I have my gripes like all the rest of you. I took the survey and stuck it to them when it mattered. For example, when they ask if compensation encourages people to do their best, the obvious answer is "strongly disagree" right? When they ask if compensation is clearly tied to performance....again "strongly disagree." Whether our answers matter or not, it's our opportunity to vent our frustrations with ...
