Qualified text

Does anybody work for a company that pays less for something called "qualified text" or in other words pays less for templates, like 10 cpl for transcription but only 5 cpl for the template lines? Were you with them when they paid full rate for those lines? I am trying to find out how much impact (perhaps percentage) this has on the bottom line - a paycheck. The company I work for is going to start doing this and I am wondering how much it is going to hurt. Obviously it w ...

the amount of your paycheck very much? I wasn't sure if I should even apply to a MTSO that uses this. ...

I am under the impression that QT is canned text that we bring into the report and add text at certain spots when the dictator specifies? I used to do a lot of ophthalmology reports. Surgeon would say: Please insert my normal phacoemulsification with IOL implant. Then they would dictate which eye, how many diopters, model and size of lens, etc. Does QT also sometimes just show up on the report that comes up and then we just add what is dictated? How long does it take to bring in the QT? Than ...

Aside from furthering our education and becoming coders or something to that effect, is there ANYTHING with a livable wage that we are qualified to do after years of transcription experience? Every ad I see for administrative positions requires payroll/bookkeeping experience. I'm the queen of medical terminology and can type like a demon but is it good for ANYTHING??? My job is going to VR in the next month or so. I've been a transcriptionist over 10 years and one girl in our office ha ...

The following is on page 13 of Medquist's 1st quarter filing to the SEC. Apparently by "qualified" they mean willing to work for peanuts and take all the abuse they dish out. Usually when there is a shortage of workers in a particular industry, it drives wages up. Funny how it doesn't work that way in MT. Significant developments in the clinical documentation industry include: A shortage of qualified domestic medical transcriptionists (MTs) and medical editors (ME ...

Since Audits are affecting us so deeply at this point and possibly costing us our livelihood, I began to wonder WHO is doing the auditing? We have lost most of the decent QA people (or will as of tomorrow when nothing will be routed to QA anymore). I know that several of the CTLs, CCMs or whatever the acronym of the hour is currently called, have been morons and sent out E-mails filled with grammatical and punctuation errors, and some have not even been MTs before. Shouldn ...

Unbelievable! I actually qualified for first quarter bonus at 100%. If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would not believe that anybody ever qualified for it. I am in total shock. Unbelievable but happy. It is possible. I didn't think it was. Did anybody else get it this week? I thought I had read here about a month ago that some people had gotten their bonus, so I thought I had missed the boat. ...

When I contacted my representative about Amnerican transcription jobs being outsourced, my rep said there was a shortage of qualified transcriptionists in the United States. Do you suppose he got his information from the money mongers who justify their greed by filling our repesentatives' heads full of this bull. There are plenty of qualified transcriptionists in the US; the MTSOs just do not want to pay for quality. It is about money Mr. misinformed senator!!! ...

for job interview. The internet says there are scams out there for this type of thing. Anyone hear of this company? The job is posted on another board. ...

If whatever the doctor said is a little wonky, doesn't make sense or is a bad sentence, you can and will get dinged for typing what the doctor says. Told to leave a blank so you won't get dinged. ...

I was originally with one of the ambulatory groups that came through the back door of Nuance. Our old ways of doing things have slowly been phased out since Nuance acquired us. Currently I get 8.5 cpl for standard lines and 1 cpl for qualified (template) lines. I haven't gotten the email about the video yet, but I've been reading on here about the new 7 cpl rate. What about template lines? Does Nuance pay for template lines? Thanks... ...

I'm new to IT and have a question: How do you bold text? I went into "Edit" and see several options but not for bolding. Yes, it's probably in the manual but I'm on the clock right now so hope someone will post it here. Thanks! ...

Particularly I never know what to do about headings. If they never dictate headings, it is no problem - I do not put them in. But if they dictate no headings, until all of a sudden towards the end of the report, they dictate one random heading, then it makes the rest of the report look stupid without headings. Would you put in headings for continuity in the rest of the report, or leave it looking stupid with, eg, one single heading i ...

I can't find the directions. xx ...

I am typing a report where dictator is talking about the patient's ob/gyn. How do you type this? Ob-gyn, OB/GYN or what. It is within a line of the report, not a heading. ...

Anyone have any good websites for Instant text tutorial or questions? I did read through productivity talk and did find what I needed. I have not used this software in years. I use autotext, but I would like to use the line counting software that comes wtih IT. I am trying to figure out a short cut to copying text, right clicking on IT , clipboard statistics, and logging each note. Any thoughts on how to do this with keystrokes and NOT the mouse? I am using Scribe Editor ...

I forgot the easy way to adjust text size. Hope someone can help. Is it still possible to search for something here? I can't find the "search" line. ...

I was forced to switch to Windows 7 and I found that Stedmans Smartype was no longer compatible. After shedding some tears, I am searching for a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions about any medical text expanders that are good and work similar to Smartype (that work within WORD). I am currently looking at Speedtype...does anyone have any reviews on that? Thank you!! ...

I don't know what combination of keys I hit but all of a sudden the text in front of where I am editing disappears. What combination of keys will stop this. I thought it was control + insert but that did not help. Any help appreciated. Thanks ...

Just wondered about what you all think is the best expander to use with VR. I used to use Shorthand up to a couple of years ago and now work with Instant Text. It seems to me that Shorthand is very very popular with the VR crowd. Does anyone use Instant Text successfully with VR? The version of IT I have (V Pro) does not have the recording functions and the ability to use shortcuts (like Alt+ and Control+) like Shorthand does. Nor is there there an ability to record commands or key combina ...

I was wondering if anybody working on the DQS system is able to use Instant Text V and if so, how did you convert it over ? Thank you for any help. Donna ...

Does anybody use Instant Text? I just started using it and CANNOT figure out how to get "-year-old" to expand without a space in front of the first hyphen. I am ready to scream! Please help! ...

I am having issues with linking Instant Text V Pro with eScription. The greenlight is on saying that it is linked, but I am not able to get any of my keystrokes to work. If anyone is familiar on how to do this please let me know. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!! ...

In school, we were given the opportunity to have a 4-month trial of Shorthand for Windows. I really enjoyed using this program and had considered purchasing an extended license for it when I become employed; however, I thought of the MT industry heading more towards SR/VR editing and wondered if having a text expander would be useful at all. Any inputs? I'm currently using Word's AutoCorrect as a substitute. ...

Could anyone give me any recommendations for a good general text expander (starting an ASR job in a couple of weeks)? I use Phrase Express right now, but I don't like some of its limitations and bugs, and customer service stinks. I'm really interested in hearing from someone who has tried a couple and has a preference and why. TIA! ...

This was transferred to the tech forum last night but isn't a tech question: How are MTs naming their short forms now, for example for shortform "ncat" (normocephalic atraumatic) do you use "ncat" or do you use "ncatx"? Thanks. ...
