Typing? - Cathy

You know, I think I am typing better and faster without the fear of QA hanging over me. I never thought they were extremely helpful anyways. Usually they couldn't fill in the blanks and just nit-picked the report like a pecking bird. I have never had a report sent back from a client (knock on wood) because they were unhappy with anything. I spent far more time trying to please QA than the hospitals and doctors (and have told my supervisor that more than once). ...

For those of you who are typing directly into EMR/EHRs, how are you accessing the voice files? Is it coming directly from the EMRs or do you have to grab them separately. I've been asked to type directly into an office's EMR and am curious how this is going to work. It sounds like some are charging per audio minute and others per hour. I'm trying to keep my job relevant and go with the flow. Thanks to all who post their situations. At least we can all pull together, learn and keep ...

Does anyone have the email address for this company? I can't find their post. Thanks. ...

Does anyone know of any transcription company that deals with strictly typing and not VRE? ...

This has to be a fluke, but for the 1st hour of my shift today... nothing but straight typing. I was so excited job after job, my fingers were flying, life was back to normal, ASR nonexistant for a brief moment in time! I typed 314 lines in my first hour of work. WHY OH WHY, MEDQUIST, CAN'T YOU FIGURE OUT THAT I AM SO MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE WITHOUT ASR? If I make money, you make money! It really is that simple. ...

I put drop cookies in the oven, set the timer for 12 minutes, then race to my computer and type. The timer goes off, I race to the kitchen, take out the cookies, put in more and set the timer again and off I go to my computer to type. I have come to this conclusion: Drop cookies 12 minutes = enough time for an FU visit, outpatient note or short procedure. Bar Cookies 30-35 minutes = enough time for a consult, H&P, discharge summary or new patient office note. Now, this has got ...

traumas and such? I had just sat down with a glass of V8 (no joke) and started to work and my first report is about a patient who slit a wrist. Now I'm queasy and nauseous and the V8 is going back in the fridge. This is how I know I'm in the right place in the medical field....no way I could be there and see this stuff firsthand. Blech. ...

Dictated: ....recently diagnosed with 1p minus and 4q minus deletions. Transcribed: ...recently diagnosed with 1p- and 4q- deletions. ...

Any info on them? Supposed to be out of AL but when I google them, nothing comes up. ...

Not complaining,mind you, but what's going on. I'm up to 10% transcription for this pay period. Did they decide to cut back on the SR, were their complaints by doctors saying they liked it better when we typed? LOL just wondering if anyone has noticed it and/or knows why. ...

A very interesting post over in the VR forum which is proof IMO why we are going so broke doing ASR, and isn't even taking into account how horrible MQ DocQSpeech software is. Yesterday I had a 10-minute ASR report and I ended up typing at least 50% of it. Several times I thought of doing F11 on that report. Unfortunately, using F11 part way through a report while saving the text you have done so far on note pad, and then pasting it back in rather than starting all over, however, can ...

Okay, I have had the suspicion that MQ programmed something when you bring up old reports when typing a discharge summary that the H&P doesn't show up. Today, the dictator doing the DS plainly stated that she was reading right off the H&P. I went to check in the old reports to maybe get some quick lines, but it wasn't there...as usual. I typed what she said and realized that I had already typed this before and that I was the one that typed the original H&P ...

Got new accounts for the last 2 weeks that are not ASR (yet) so have been doing about 90% straight typing. I have been averaging about $20 more per day than when I do ASR. They can sell whatever snake oil they want, I can type faster and make more money straight typing than I can with their much-touted fabulous ASR --- EVEN ON BRAND NEW UNFAMILIAR ACCOUNTS. ...

How do you type times one week? (x 1 week or x one week) Please help. ...

SR sucks. This is not why I became an MT, to listen and correct. I wanted to type, but rarely get the opportunity outside of making corrections. ...

No one seems to talk about typing speed these days. I see a huge difference in earning ability of an MT by their typing speed. I get resumes and people don't even put their typing speed on a resume often. I have to go back and ask them. It is the best ruler out there. Are there any 100 wpm typists out there looking for clinic work, M-F, 9-5? Since we all work by production, obviously the faster you type, the more you will earn (and happier you will be) bu ...

the doc says reflexes are "one-half over four" do i type 1/2 over 4, 1/2/4 confusing ...

Does anyone know what the expected typing speed is to get a job - have lots of experience, but ASR work has slowed my typing speed! ...

I'm just a tad embarrassed but I need to ask. I just applied for a job that is "straight typing" but I don't know what that means. Can anyone help me? Thanks. ...

MTs: I presently work for an outsource company which has sold its MT division to another outsource company. I will be 62 yo come January. I am to the point now of seriously thinking about taking early retirement and only working PT 20 hours a week. If I do that I would actually be making more money that way than I would be working the 50+ hours a week I do now. The thing that I am concerned about is I would have no health insurance unless I pay for it out of my own poc ...

Lately, when I am typing in Word, the typing just stops. The words don't even catch up with themselves. I have to go back and retype. I am a fast typist, I think, but not that fast! Any suggestions? Thanks. ...

I am currently straight typing and hate it, so I'm looking for a VR job with some straight typing thrown in every now and then. Thank you! ...

The acct I am on, we have "free text cc's." you have to go into a seperate website, search the doc data base for the name and then type that info on the report. You know how long that takes? This acct I am on has 20 pages of rules.. I did not ask to be put on this acct, I was switched over and now am on 100% QA as I entered a DOS incorrectly. Can you say fed up with this for minimum wage?? It is just too much. Retirement is looking thank the Lord. ...

There's a company called Fenton Medical Transcription out of California that's hiring MTs with this experience: Skill Requirements: --Minimum 5 years of multi-specialty transcription experience --Experience charting transcription into EMR systems. How do we get experience charting transcription in EMR systems? ...

Shorthand or SwiftText? (Or maybe something else affordable.) I need something that I can obtain a disc in case of reinstalling. I just had to do a system restore and was using Instant Text Pro V 7. Of course, there is no disc for this program. As they described it, I was "renting" the program and would need to pay the full price again to reinstall on the same computer. (A bunch of crap in my opinion, but what does my opinion matter to them?) My Word Aut ...

Does anyone know how to type over words? The 'insert' key does not work for this in Fluency. For instance, when you have a person dictating under someone else's name and most of the report needs to be corrected, I cannot figure out which key automatically types over what is there (and I do not want to use F11). Thanks! ...

Hi everyone. I am putting in applications and I want to apply at jobs with straight typine, no VR. If anyone knows of any, please let me know. The VR is boring and while none of them pay the way they used to, I know that I could make more on straight typing...I have 9 years experience. ...

Are there any accounts at Nuance that are straight typing and not VR? I find with VR I still have to make so many corrections it doesn't justify the pay per line so I might as well go back to straight typing, if those accounts even exist anymore. ...
