A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
* A hospital that DOES NOT use voice and still employs Radiology transcriptionists?
* An established service (one that will not go belly-up next week) that is not a sweatshop, offers a solid benefits package, does not use voice, still employes Radiology transcriptionists, and doesn't require six different programs to do the job?
I like the fact that there are only TWO programs (Dictaphone and VPN) used in my hospital job, as they don't jam up and/or slow down my PC. However, I HATE acute care (just one reason: HUGE pool of docs, you do a guy and he may not roll back around again for a year! so you never get used to his voice) and it seems that most hospitals now have gotten rid of the rad transcriptionists so the docs can do EHR. I also HATE editing voice drafts; talk about boring!! 90% of your spent time has NOTHING to do with transcribing; you're confirming VISIT NUMBERS for the billing and other boring freaking clerical stuff!!
I miss the good old days, where you could actually transcribe without editing!! And made a decent living doing it.
