Hello! I have been contacted to do some ortho backup which I have never done. Just wondering how difficult this is to learn. They tell me all docs are pretty good dictators. TIA. ...
Are there any MTs on the board that are currently using, have used Meditech? Years ago I was told Meditech is a horror to learn and use, very slow and cumbersome jumping screen to screen before actually typing anything. Does this still hold true? Has it been improved? Any comments would be appreciated. TIA. ...
I have never worked for a company that uses a platform before, always an FTP site and word, so this is new to me. Is it hard to learn, easy to count line count, etc.?? I am bringing up old messages here that say nothing but negative about it and I'm starting to get nervous, but those were from 2008 or so, so maybe it's better now?? ...
Do I have to buy the dictation equipment or the doctor? Can I use the software with moer than one client? We are moving and this is key to keeping my job. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks so much in advance for all help! ...
I have always been pretty rigid about exact time schedule, but now.... Well, let's just say I am trying to honor my notice. That, plus the fact I don't want my last check before Xmas to be "held up" for any reason.
Am I alone, or have others had trouble honoring their last 2 week schedule? ...
Just got an e-mail today that we have to learn new accounts with new account specifics, in addition to working on our present account. They are sending our present account to India, but still keeping some of it.
I don't know which would be easier - volunteering for a new account or learning DEP. I was told that if we start to type on DEP, they will have to send us a new computer with new programs, because we can't have Cornerstone and DEP on the same computer (probably). I did a ...
FINDINGS
PA and lateral views. Comparison exam 4/30/07. The lungs appear clear. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is within normal limits.
IMPRESSION
Unremarkable chest. <???> changes from 4/30/07 exam.
I was thinking it sounded like "No speculative changes" but it's very blurred and sort of sounds like "noticed the beginning of changes" but that doesn't make much sense.
I just can NOT make out what the dictator is saying! A more experienced MT will probabl ...
Make a sign - use cardboard, paint, real easy. It will say "OCCUPY M*MODAL" or "OCCUPY ACCENTUS" (I just pull names out of a hat). Then list one or two of the most egregious abuses on the sign. Extra points for humor or good zingers.
Go stand somewhere in public. Maybe connect up with Occupiers in your area. Just stand there with your sign. Have a friend take a pic,and post it online. Maybe stand outside a local hospital or other health care clini ...
I just found out that the company I work for is going to start using Bayscribe next week. I never heard of it untill now. I currently use Word with my own word expander. Does any one know if it is productive and easy to use? ...
Procyte and Prosight
I know that Prosight is a multivitamin. I found both on WebMD's drugs and meds A-Z. There was no information on Procyte. It was just listed as Procyte Top. I was not aware that there was a Procyte until earlier today. The doctor dictated "And be careful you use the correct one, but I am unsure of the spelling." That confused me a bit, so I did some research and the only place that I found any mention of Procyte was on WebMD. An ...
Do you have to go to a lot of screens to enter demographic data? Is there a lot of downtime? Is the VR program fairly decent or are they putting every dictator on it and then the MLS has to straighten it out.

I made my resume approximately 7 years ago. Since that time, when searching for new employment opportunities, I have added recent experience, PC upgrades, new software, new training, etc, to my resume and sent it out updated with what currently applies.
In the past 10 days, I have sent my resume to approximately 50 companies in my newest search for work.
In the past 7 years, I have sent my resume to probably 200 potential employers.
Today, for the first time, I received a re ...
...and probably those of some other companies as well. Transcend supervisors are expected to oversee teams of up to 35 MTs, keep the account in TAT, mentor their people to improve their performance, ride herd on "mavericks", monitor the account status and do all of the other typical supervisory chores....
....while transcribing 75 to 80% of the time.
....in exchange for which they are paid a stipend of $700 a month.
Now, there is so much wrong with this picture that I won't b ...
"Chest: Clear to auscultation bilaterally with s/l an easy workup reading. He had equal breath sounds heard throughout."
I don't know what "easy workup reading" actually is. ...
a word expander like Speed Type would do that? And can you use Speed Type along with MS Word? And transfer over all your AutoCorrect entries easily? I emailed the company but haven't heard from them. : ( ...
People who are new to coding get confused about credentials. There is some great information in the pages below if you read what has been written on here for months, and I definitely recommend doing that. You will learn more than you can imagine. I thought I would try to put it in a short, easy-to-understand format, specifically designed for MTs who are transitoning to coding.
CCS and CPC - Impressive! Marketable skills. This is comparable to a medical transcriptionist who can type ...
Two questions please: Does anyone working on the new oncology account and if so, how is it? Good dictators, easy platform, etc.?
Secondly, is it just me or does TTS have more paperwork for a new hire than I have ever seen in my life? I've surpassed 75 pages at this point and the emails are still coming!! I've never worked for an MTSO that does this. ...
I work for a small hospital and we have just recently started typing our H&P's into EMR. The problem with EMR is that it uses Word (not Microsoft Word) and we have no auto correct and no medical spell checker. We were told that we could not get either installed in the EMR. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Also, we were told that we could not cut and paste into the EMR, which is what we had been doing due to no auto correct or spell checker, because it is noncompliance with the H ...
VP always sticks "lower" onto the abdomen exam. Have to delete it from abdomen and add it to the PE subheading "Lower Extremities." There is no other way to edit it, everybody has to edit it this way. But SR keeps getting it wrong. We all need to have a couple of these examples ready for when Phil the IT guy says it is US editing wrong that causes the program not to learn. Or if you abbreviation says it is everyone with different editing styles causing the VR fiasco. ...
