CLINIC VERSUS HOSPITAL TRANSCRIPTION - AZSCRIBE
Posted: May 03, 2010
Hi all! Quick question, which one do you think you can type more lines a day on, using your short cuts, drop ins, templates, etc., clinic transcription or hospital and why? I have been typing acute care hospital transcription for 7 years and am thinking of taking a clinic job, but the money is slightly less. I figure it won't count that much if clinic is as fast as my physical therapy job was I had 8 years ago.
Thanks!
clinic vs hospital - old mt
[ In Reply To ..]Clinic by far. But, remember you have been doing hospital notes for a long time - clinic notes may seem really boring after those! Also there is always more demand for acute care on your resume....and they always want it current.
CLINCI VERSUS HOSPITAL - AZSCRIBE
[ In Reply To ..]Good points. I was worried about the boring factor. Thanks!
Clinic is my choice - MommaMt
[ In Reply To ..]On my clinic account which I have the same 3 doctors, I average about 225-250 lines per hour, some days it is better when I don't have my long-winded doctor. I prefer clinic over acute to to each their own. There are a lot of variable with each, but it is nice when you have the same doctors each and every day which helps with the macros!
Depends - LK
[ In Reply To ..]After doing hospital transcription the entire time I've been an MT, I took on some clinic transcription with my company to help with a backlog and was curious if I could increase my line count. It was absolutely horrendous! Horrible dictators; apparently the client kept all the decent dictators for their in-house MTs and sent only the bad ones to my MTSO. Not only that, the reports were so short that half the time was spent filling in demographics. No way to make any money there, so now I'm back on totally acute care, where I can make decent money. So I guess it depends on the account.

Clinic Work Versus Hospital Accounts
May 24, 2012
Does anyone know of companies hiring regular clinic transcription i.e. chart notes etc for OB/GYN, internal medicine, pediatrics? I see lots of adds for hospital work, but for those of us who don't enjoy the hospital accounts, it would be nice to know of companies who do straight clinic typing. Any help is appreciated. Anyone just wanting to slam me for asking this, please do not respond. Thanks ...

Home Versus Hospital
May 05, 2013
I was recently offered a job transcribing/editing at a local hospital. I have a 7-month old baby, and working from home was my dream as it would allow me to afford to be a stay at home mom. Now I feel like somewhat of a caged bird, and am thinking that working at the hospital may be good for me (just prn, about 26 hours/week). However, I have invested so much tine and energy in this job, and it is hard for me to admit that it is not all I dreamed it would be. The appeal ...
Hospital Versus Physician Certification

Hi. I am enrolled in Medical Coding class and have finished 3 semesters. For the last quarter we are to make a decision whether we want to sit for the hospital or physician coding certification test.

Trying To Find Part-time Or Full-time Employee Position (hospital/clinic)

If anyone knows of a hospital, clinic, or large practice offering remote full-time or part-time employee positions, I would really appreciate an email. I have the sudden need to help support a family member long term (in addition to myself) and really need to find a long-term remote employee position for the stability. Yes, I watch all the various employment sites and even individual hospital sites, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe someone who works for a hospital that does th ...
MT Pay Versus What Nuance Charges Per Line For Hospital Reports
Jun 07, 2014
Does anyone know or maybe even make an educated guess...how much a hospital might pay per line to have Nuance do their reports? We are guessing somewhere .12 to .15 upwards to .20/line. Of course they are claiming that this will save them all sorts of money and we'd like to know if they are really going to save as much as they think they are. Oh...and did I mention that Nuance said they wouldn't be sending anything to anyone who didn't speak English ou ...

Hospital Transcription Advice
Jan 21, 2013
I just need some advice on a job possibility. Up until last year, I had worked as an at-home MT (ortho/PT, dabbled in other specialities when needed) for 6 years. I then quit that job as things were going downhill for the company and I needed something better. I found an office job P/T that paid well and was possibly going into a F/T position. Well, due to budget issues the job not only is not going F/T, but I am also lucky to still have my job at this point. So I started looking for work. I ...

VR Versus Transcription
Nov 12, 2009
I was just wondering if anybody is getting transcription anymore. Throughout this whole entire pay period I have gotten nothing but VR, which makes it extremely difficult to make decent money unless you spend 24 hours a day online. I am wondering if they are going VR with almost every dictator in order to screw us out of more pay. This company really knows how to screw with you. ...
VR Versus Straight Transcription
Apr 28, 2011
With my company I get about 80% editing and 20% straight transcription, about half as much per line editing as for transcription, of course. Personally, I'd rather transcribe a difficult dictator than edit most anyone. My pet peeve is when a difficult dictator's reports (which used to be transcribed) gets changed to editing status, and it takes just as long to fix the VR document but now at about half as much pay. ...

All-in-one Computer Versus Laptop For Transcription Opinions
Jan 07, 2012
I am curious which would be best for transcription, all-in-one or laptop with larger monitor. It just seems to me that with an all-in-one you would have less mess on your desk than with a laptop hooked to a larger monitor (I'm ancient so I need a large monitor to be able to see), so I'm leaning towards buying an all-in-one computer rather than the laptop, but have not made my mind up completely yet. Do any of my other transcription buddies have an opinion on one or the ...

Nuance: Speech Recognition Versus Transcription Line Counts
May 13, 2012
As I was working today I thought about speech versus transcription, and it occurred to me that I was transcribing a good deal in each speech report I "edited." Why is transcription done for a full report paid any differently than transcription done in a speech report? In other words, why don't I get paid my transcription line count for the characters I am transcribing in a speech report, particularly since a great deal of these speech reports require almost re-transcribing completely due to ...

Two words that come up often for questioning. These are strictly used in an orthopedic setting. Stedman's and Dorland's list end point and hand grip HOWEVER the office transcription manager, girl is asking for me to correct this to endpoint and handgrip. She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...

Nuance Took Over My Clinic
Dec 10, 2012
I just found out today when I had no work with my smaller company that Nuance took over all the work starting today. I found out they knew about it 2 months ago and didn't tell us. I am waiting on the contact information from the original clinic manager at the doctor's office so hopefully we can go with our work. Has anyone else had this happen and if so how good are the chances of just going with Nuance. At this point I just need the work. Thank ...
Been Doing Clinic My Whole MT Career...
Jul 05, 2013
I've been doing clinic my whole six-year MT career. Now since there are not that many clinic transcription jobs anymore, I'd like to learn acute. But of course, all the acute ads say they want experience. I'm confident that I can pass some of the acute care job tests. Are some employers open to giving you an acute care job if you do well on the test, having no actual job experience in it? I went to a good school and am confident in my abilities. What has been your experience in th ...
