Specialty lookup has changed :-(

I just got an e-mail to remind me how to sign up for Benchmark and get "enabled" to do that DQM job lookup. I read on this board that both are time consuming and basically worthless. Is it mandatory to sign up to do all that junk? ...

Another idea of MQ's that might sound good in theory but in practice this is totally ridiculous. First off, I can't even get any reports to come up....I tried different variations of entering info into the search, only to get nothing back.....so stupid. Second, do they really think we can do this with how LONG it takes.....first you have to sign out of DQS, then sign back in with a different password to get to DQM? Get out of here! I was hoping that maybe ...

I am amazed at the huge mistakes I am seeing in finished reports. Who hyphenates left hip hemiarthroplasty? (The report shows left-hip hemiarthroplasty). That's a minor example.... Worrisome. ...

Has somthing changed on how we get into dictator and past reports lookup? I just came back from vacation and cannot access this feature on DocQmanage the way I have always done using employee number.dep, etc. Anyone else having a problem? ...

So let me get this straight: I want to put a physician's name in the report. I hit CTRL + N and start typing the last name. Before, it was nice. The search would happen automatically. NOW I have to tell it to search (even for mandatory ADT names when you hit enter to get to the physician lookup)? Why? That is another keystroke that is wasted, and add to that, it was nice before that if you hit the letter 's' it would scroll to all the docs with last name ...

What is the best paying specialty to get into? I want to get into a good specialty but I want to make sure it is a good paying one if there are ones that pay better then others. ...

When an ad says Specialty: Any. What does that mean? If you have only done Radiology for years and only 2 or 3 years of acute care 20 years ago, would you feel comfortable applying for something as vague as "any specialty". Has anyone out there applied for a job specialty they have never done and still got through it? thank you ...

This is for an allergist/immunologist. "History of venom allergy. She is essentially skin-test negative today. I will need to check a s/l "raz" test for confirmation." ...

Does anybody know which MT specialty offers the best pay rate? I was told by one of my instructors that pathology and radiology were this highest paid MTs around. Another instructor thought that specializing in OP reports would offer the greatest income potential. Thanks ...

I have a pt with "EA" that I am trying to spell out in the assessment but I am not able to figure out what this could be for this pt. I know the pt has anoxic encephalopathy, dysphasia (or could be dysphagia-could be either with this pt) aphasia, respiratory failure, pneumonia. Any suggestions what EA could be in this pt? ...

I am a big cardiology buff and would love to do only cardiology transcription. If anyone has knowledge of places that have a lot of cardio accounts, would you be kind enough to point me in their direction. You can e-mail if you don't want to put names in open. I can offer help in return too as able. TIA. ...

Hey I am possibly going to interview with a Cancer Institute and I have no experience in this area. I am a 7 year medical transcriptionist and had a 7 year job in a small pediatric clinic for 4 doctors. What should I do to prepare if I work here and what things should I study and bring with me to work if I get the job? ...

Nuance wants us to fill out another survey to tell them what areas we prefer (our specialties) and don't prefer. I've said I don't prefer operative reports, yet they seem to give me a lot of op reports. So what's the point? ...

Does anyone know the short key sequence for opening the Lookup function in MS Word? I use it a lot! TYIA! N/M ...

how do you transcribe specialty names? Gastroenterology vs gastroenterology, etc. Do you always capitalize? sometimes capitalize? if so, when? thanks! ...

If you enjoy working on a variety of specialties and would love a flexible schedule Monday through Friday, then this account is for you! I am currently hiring for a multi-specialty clinic account which is available Monday through Friday between 12pm and 12am CST, you can work your hours on a flexible schedule anytime within the window. Please kn ...

Well, I see not much has changed. I've been out for nearly three weeks, just flat out stopped working, I think they probably know by now I'm not coming back. Have not heard a thing from the Q about it. But I think I've found another way to go. We have a bartending school near where I live. My sister used to bartend, I never have, but I know what she used to do. The school will teach everything about mixology and offers job placement when you graduate ...

Doing the same thing I have done for years...Now all the sudden there are some QA that are comma and semicolon nazis..They are everywhere. You want them, you will get them, more money for me with the extra spaces. ...

I didn't get points off but still - the client profile says NOT to use cc but to change it to mL Go figure! ...

All headers are now no longer counted in the line count. We're already out of work most of the time and now this. We don't get paid for cc's that we add or all the info on the pt before we ever start typing. I'd say when we do have work they're getting a lot of free work from us. ...

murmurs, gallops, or rubs OR murmurs, gallops or rubs? I am old school and taught that the first is correct, but I waste a huge amount of time and keystrokes correcting this and other instances like this. I looked at the AAMT link, but really didn't get a sufficient answer if the second is OK to leave as that is the preferred way ASR puts it; however, every grammar site I looked at online puts the additional comma in. ...

Log on this afternoon to NJA. This is after my TSM asked me to switch hours because they needed help on Friday. Praying and hoping work starts to trickle in soon as I do not want to be sitting up all night waiting for work. Need to get in hours like everyone else. ...

There probably have been answers to my question out here before, but does anyone know what causes the formatting in an EditScript document of which I am either editing or transcribing? It tabs, bolds, changes font sizes, and messes up the spacing between lines.....things I did not manually do myself. Is there something I should be changing on my RTF? Or is it something else? Seems like I may have seen something about that, but I can't find it in my manual (which doesn ...

I just got an email saying the 10% submission rate starts April 1, and the 5% on May 1. ...

I've talked with several MTs recently who work for different companies. The companies have to send out reminders to the MTs that they are supposed to be at work at specific times. They also are having trouble with MTs just taking off without arranging for coverage of their accounts. The list goes on and on. What bothers me most though is the attitude of workers. Work was not easy years ago, but people did it with courage and integrity. You don't see much of that anymore. &nbs ...

Instead of the funky little Q's everywhere, it will be a pair of M's. Then for MT week, they will pass out a tiny bag of M&Ms, gold of course, with little MM on one side and big $$ on the other... ...

It's probably because Medquist has such a bad reputation--and the name alone leaves a rotten taste in your mouth hearing it. I want to be positive and hope that maybe there will be some good changes like they boast in that email. I'll believe it when I see it though. ...

just wondering. Was it at a lower rate before. and now its higher. What is going on? anyone know. was it always 99% and now its 99.5, i thought a few years back it was like 95% ...

Thank you all for answering my questions lately. I'm definitely at a crossroads with where I'm going. I have an Associates Degree in medical transcription, have completed two A&P classes, two medical terminology classes, a pharmacology class, etc. and have worked as a transcriptionist for two decades. I am now looking at either going to my local community college and adding on to my degree with a certificate program, or just recently I have considered Western Gove ...

got a report from auditors with a several below 99.6% and they were still marked as passing. anyone else? ...
