How many reports do you type in a day? - me
Posted: Nov 07, 2009
I was just wondering how many reports on average you type in a day, and how long are they? Are you full time or part time?
Thank you!

Total 54 yesterday and I work part-time. Did not count how long they were.

I have one more day in my work week, tomorrow. I have done over 600 minutes this week. Yes, I know, but that is speech and traditional and it doesn't matter how you want to cut it, that is a LOT.
Full time, as you asked.
35-40 reports per day/140ish minutes/1500 lines. n/m - Happy MT
how many hours did it take you to complete this much dictation? - me

I am trying to get a feeling of what "part-time" really is. I have been doing about 20 reports a day practice, and they vary in dictation length, but I type 81 wpm.
If I can stay focused 5 hours. Been MTing for 20 years. nm - Happy MT
Just 3 reports for the last 10 hours. Keep checking and NO JOBS AVAILABLE! Moved to another group with primary. My old CCM said I would have more work if I move with my primary, instead, it turned out to be the opposite. ...
The hospital (client) of the company I type for, just updated their system. This was a so-called big deal. I was excited because they use a program that I know has potential to make a lot more shortcuts and less mouse use available for the MTs, that they did not utilized, but today, I started typing on the "new updated" version just to find there are more fields I have to fill in on the patient profile screen, there is more mouse use, and more looking up, and going out of the program ...
This may have been asked and answered previously but I am going to lose my long-term account because of EMR in about 2 years and I am not going down without a fight. Why can't I type their transcription as usual, then the reports can be scanned into the computer/EMR? Any information would be greatly appreciated....thanks! ...
Hi all. I was just wondering what other MTs prefer...little short reports or very long reports? Do too many of either affect your line count (and therefore your pay)?
I definitely prefer very long reports! ...
Wondering if anyone out there has any feedback about working for Silent Type? I have done the test and have been told I will interview in two weeks when the position becomes available... I think there is a mandatory 2 day training in NJ? Anyone done this and survived? How's the pay? I was considering going to work for MedQuist because they are taking over one of my current IC accounts but after reading in the MedQuist section I think I'll skip that one. Th ...
Should ER reports be a priority? I work in-house and this week our transcription department was ordered to type all ER reports as priority, before any inpatient or radiology work. The order came from the ER committee to our department head and down to the transcriptionists. Any thoughts on this? ...
does anyone know if this dqm lookup reports is working adequately. It seems like a whole lot of trouble to find any. I know this was discussed down below about where the heck is dq main menu and search. I tried looking up by dictator and its a waste of time as there are not any old reports there. Thank you to any help out there. ...
Can anyone tell me since MQ has gone with the Swap Board and First Time Right, and we are sending reports, etc. Have you had more frequency of being followed by QA? I was just wondering how that works? ...
I know I will be asking many questions in the coming weeks since I am going to be taking a more active approach to studying for the second part of my final. Can anybody please tell me where I can go to get more info on OB reports online? Some of the stuff that the doctor dictates is so hard to figure out since I am not familiar with the OB terminology at all. For example..here is the physical exam section of the report (keep in mind I have flagged certain sections). Here it is:

I used to be able to at my old job last year. Now I can't do it at my new job. I asked and was told it is because of HIPAA. Can you look up old reports at your job? It sucks that I can't do it. It would help a lot. ...
I love doing op reports even with the mandatory standards as I can insert my expansions and am very familiar with them (when I get my primary). Now it's all ASR and I have to use those standards. I have to cut and paste, cut and paste, cut and paste, lose my skip markers, can't use my expansions AND I now get paid less for the reports. Any suggestions? ...
Anyone out there who works remotely for a hospital.. can you tell me how your QA is done. Wondering if most are like my employer. Our QA is done sporadically.. maybe twice a year. We get a stack of reports in the mail that may be 6 months to a year old. Our editors follow none of the standards our department has set up, and usually just whatever they feel is wrong, is wrong. Also, we can't go back and access the voice when we are looking at the errors to ...
I checked my work 1 hour ago. Just checked again and all 6 reports with 100% QA are gone. Three new reports, one with crappy grade (missed a heading), and 2 100% reports now show. How can you maintain QA with reports flipping in and out?????? This is Nuance. ...
Hate to waste the time but Im gonna do it today..I have several jobs that I put through QA for terms that I really should know but cant find and I never get them back from QA with fixes...Just wondering, we were victims once before and no matter how much OT I work the counts never seem to go up much... ...
Have you ever noticed that as soon as you are proficient in an account you are switched to a new one???? AND in certain reports are required to use a standard even though it is an SR report SO you are doing straight type in an SR report, being paid at SR rate. Something doesn't seem quite right or fair. ...
If a report is really bad, cant even find the patient- when it is uploaded and we have a note to QA, is that report sent to be charted and the doctors, or does QA fix it, whatever, and THEN is sent? Do we do anything different so it does NOT get sent to the client first?
Thanks you guys!! ...
I was speaking with a friend of mine and he just got the last bonus and then was told he was not supposed to get the bonus because the hospital he works on doesn't get bonuses so not to expect another one and then 2 weeks ago they put him on 100% QA 5 reports a day for 5 days and then extended it for another 5 days because they said he had 98% though on the bottom of his timecard is showing 99% and the feedback has been 99%. What are they trying to do now? He just got a call fro ...
I thought it was just me. I've posted before asking for any hints to get my VR reports to go faster, but spending so much time "editing" these reports it's going soooo slow and don't know how to go faster. Is this common with other MTs? Any helpful ideas are appreciated.
First line will be what the doc said - after the dash what the system put (and this is just one report):
55-year-old - nothing was typed
she points - she reports he points
transumbilical - tr ...
How do we look up reports that have been Q/A'ed for our audit? I thought I knew how, but I cant get anything with the numbers I have been given to come up. Thank you. ...
In the past 3 days I have transcribed reports from as far back as January 2013. Ridiculous is all I can say. 3 reports today were from June of 2013. No wonder the backlog is twice what it normally is and they have to offer that incentive. We shouldn't get yelled at for something totally out of our control. ...
