Help determining industry standard for editing platform

I wondered if any one on this board can tell me the industry standard for lines per hour or lines per minute are? Mostly what I see on this forum is discussion over CPL or hourly rates without a line per day requirement. My employer recently stated our department was not producing enough and is suggesting 1900 lines per day which seems high as a 5-day-a-week requirement. Right now I'm doing right at 200 lines per hour/approx. 1400 lines per day with template and about 1100 without temp ...

Have worked with Escription, liked it, just wondering if there is another good VR platform someone is working in that they think is okay. Thanks ...

Hello, We are preparing to switch to editing and are working on a fair guidelines for the MTs. What are the industry standards of expections for things such as correcting if a dictator says something like "laboratory studies" and the draft comes through as "laboratory data" - do you correct it or leave it? What about things like numbers that begin a sentence? Correct or let it go? Any advice you can give would be appreciated. ...

That is what I dread most about changing companies. After all of the testing day after day (worse than working), then you have all this stuff to download and learn. Why can't there just be a universal platform with state physician databases that everyone uses. Why are there such complicated differences? ...

Hey y'all, Just wondering how you determine your accuracy on the job? I mean, is it that you are 98-100% accurate the first time you transcribe something or do you send your transcripts back and forth to an editing department and the final product determines your accuracy? I'm just trying to figure out exactly how everything in the MT biz works before I take the plunge in the next few months after I graduate. Any insight is greatly appreciated. ...

Example: The patient is a 60-year-old, middle-age/middle-aged female who comes in today for follow-up. TIA! I appreciate any and all responses. ...

Time and time again it is reiterated the importance for us to remain professional, as we are a reflection of MQ. For example, never say "poor dictator" because this may be insulting to the holy than thou doctor, PA or RN. What about the annoying PA that constantly insults me by saying in middle of her dictation, "note to my typist." And this is not insulting? All the training, years of experience and BS I have to put up with to be called a "typist" repeatedly. ...

I read the job description for a production MT on the CBay India website and here are a few of the interesting requirements they must meet: Transcribing the given data for the day i.e. 450 to 900 lines per day as per the specified capacity of the MT. Production at least 75-80% accuracy in terms of medical terminology, American English, grammar, spellings, punctuation and formatting. Work closely with his/her QCE and making efforts consistently to upgrade his/her skills in terms of m ...

This one account drives me nuts. it has a standard but most of the time is ASR and I have to move things around. I cannot remember if we can use F11 for this or not. Anyone know? I was blessed with accounts in the past without standards so cannot remember if we can F11 to transcribe due to not having to move everything all over the place. ...

I have been here a little while, about 3 months. I have been switched around between CCMs already to go where my primary account goes. I needed a few hours to go to a school function and asked for that leave. I have never been responded to by my CCM. Is this usual? I put up my shift on the swapboard, said I'd make the time up. Etc. Etc. But no response at all. Do we ever get leave when asked? Or am I to say no to my child from now on. I j ...

We are told not to over edit VR reports, but the reports must be verbatim. It's mutually exclusive! ...

i am on 100% QA and am constantly confused. I am corrected for things, ask my coach. She tells me QA is correct. Then when I change it how she says to I get it changed back to the way I was doing it before~! I love Fluency, i am amazingly fast at it but i think QA will ultimately do me in...for doing what i'm told to do...GRRRRR ...

Suddenly we have new QA and it's gotten crazy! We have some new PA's that dictate things so out of order as compared to the "norm" and QA wants us to give it to them instead of making reports alike as we were trained to do. I've had some dictate drug allergies in review of systems and medications in the plan and QA wants this. I don't get it. I just don't understand how a doctor can know to check the plan for what meds a patient is on. I also have a PA that ...

Good morning fellow MTs; I hope everyone is having a productive day! Lately I have been contacted by two different companies via email stating I had contacted them in the past with my resume. I am working but could always use something better right? So I proceed to see what it's about and you know you don't get answers to those questions regarding pay scales and pay frequency upfront usually even when you do ask so I followed their jungle of steps, wasting quite a bit ...

They are now going to require 99.6% up from 99.5%. Oh yeah. How is this going to go? Looks to me like a lot of us will be out. Is this even humanly possible? Maybe I should be a weatherman. They can be wrong 50% of the time and keep their jobs. HA. More stress for us. It makes me physically ill anymore. Too much stress. ...

I went from near-perfect and had 100% at one point down to 95%. Can they take away my insurance? ...

Okay pulled in PE and major ARGH!!! I was told that tenses need to match. However, in this particular case whoever entered it was jumping back between past and present. Another time consuming thing I get to do. Interesting how that works. REALLY???????????????????????????? ...

apostrophes? eg. ADLs or ADL's I gather that the move to make hard-measured units (rather than eyeballed measuired -- such as: a 5-mm screw versus a 5 mm laceration -- died years ago. Is this correct? I'm anticipating doing some testing for a new position and don't want to fail this sort of "basics" Thanks! ...

I have been an MT for 16 years and I am still not totally sure what "acute care" means and it is on almost every ad. Does this always include Ops notes? I also can only make educated guesses about what the Standard Four are too. I am frantically looking for a job - no work at my current one - and I need to understand these terms better so I don't waste my time. I have no Ops experience and seems everyone wants this. Discouraging. I have done only ER work ...

I purchased and installed this application for some classes I am taking. I thought it would save time with notes etc and it does ------ when functioning properly. I also contemplated the medical version for my transcription. It is probably just me, I am sure, but I just do not know how to fine tune. The only thing I know to do when I run into a problem is to uninstall and rei nstall. To my knowledge there is no technical support. &nb ...

I am full time & started training class the last week of July so this is my 1st full pay period. I know we are required to make $900 a pay period, but I can't find my offer letter and can't remember if this was after you'd worked 90 days, or that after 90 days they will check to see if you are averaging. (?) I've done straight type & made a little over 100 lph so far with getting used to the platform/dictators and inputting type shortcuts & templates. ...

I am typing ds2 files and am using the above player which the olympus representative said was created to play ds2 files. however, I have tried taken the file from the place it was sent to me and it seemed to import into Folder A. But the file never could be seen in Folder A or the transcriptionist Tray. I did this many many many times with the same result. The Olympus rep told me to go to the message folder and copy and paste it into Folder A. I then could see it in ...

Hi, I am a recent graduate of a Med. Transcript program and am unable to find work for someone with less than one year experiance. Any suggestions? ...

As a group, we need to talk, fax, email our state representatives to explain what is going on in our industry. Give them your personal story. We should all do this 3/1/2010 and the first of every month until something is done. If they get enough complaints/responses, they will help us. They will start and talk to each other and realize how many of us are being abused. We need to have state and federal regulations to protect us from these companies. Due to&n ...

Here's the problem with MT's who work at home: There's not one out of six of you that have ever grown a pair of cajones. ...

I'm new to this board, but have been in the business a while. There's obviously a lot of dissatisfaction on the way work is being moved to India and Speech Recognition. Its affected me, too. But, it is what it is. The healthcare facilities are being forced to cut costs, and the MTSOs have to respond to keep the business, which is unfortunate for us. First, there was India. HealthScribe, Focus Informatics, CBay, Heartland and others pushed this ...
