Saturday mornings - 55
[ In Reply To ..]
I was told that I am the only one on my accounts on Saturday morning and it is mandatory that I work a weekend day and every Saturday I sit while work creeps in slowly.....What a waste of my time...AND I get a hard time when I try to take a Saturday off! I am told I need to flex that day because it is too hard to find someone to cover my hours...Really? Because there is no work on Saturday mornings. I am tempted to just not show up one day and see if anyone notices. I miss out on watching my kids basketball tournaments because I am sitting here waiting for work.
be "sick"...... if they're so short-handed on sat, they won't fire you. - mt2

Idea To Increase Production Apr 27, 2010A while back I was trying to think of some things to increase my production, so I sat down with paper and pencil and made a list of the biggest things that were slowing me down. At the top of the list were three main things: Nine different accounts with nine totally different CPs, ESLs, and ASR. I decided to work on the CPs first. This one little trick has actually DOUBLED my production over the last two months. My thought was that maybe if I had all the CPs for all ...

Impact Of EPIC On Coding Feb 26, 2012I was reading a post on one of the other boards about what an EPIC or point-and-click report looks like and it made me think about what it would be like to code a report like that. Was wondering if any coders here code EMR point-and-click reports and does it make your job harder? I would think that lots of narrative and detail would be more helpful in coding. I've never actually seen an EPIC report so I don't know. Thanks. ...

Something We Could Do Individually, Locally, But Would Have A Massive Impact... Oct 17, 2012Instead of trying to form a union or dealing with these MTSOs or trying to get the government to listen, let's just go straight to the clients with modest offer letters to work IC directly for the hospital. When I say modest, I mean an MT with over 10 years of heavy acute care experience would offer a flat 8 cpl as an IC for all work performed. Yes, yes, this is still low, but think about how it compares to transcribing random clients and running out of work all for a whopp ...

Best Way To Increase Lines Jun 27, 2013I've been doing work via escription for about a month and a half now (Transcriptionist most of my life) and i really like it. I am just up to about an average of 300 lines per hour though. I have heard/seen people do much better with the line count, and I wonder what your input is. Some say that you shouldnt use the mouse and should only use the keyboard for quick editing. I use the mouse still. I have my short cuts in and such, but for the most part i keep my hand on the ...

Increase Line Counts? Jun 26, 2010I kind of feel dumb even asking this question but how does one get these 300 lph counts I've read about on here? I have 12 years plus years experience and have only worked in 2 different hospitals. We never had expanders so I don't really know much about them. I average about 180 lph but am realizing now working for an MTSO that I am going to have to increase my line counts. Thanks! ...
What Caused An Increase In Shorter Dec 22, 2010Not long ago, work was abundant for all MTs, but then it seemed that changed when for some reason, turn around times were shortened markedly. What caused this? Was is just a new way for companies to compete, promising that the work would get back sooner than a client's current MT service, or did something more technical occur, such as government regulations, insurance requirements, etc. I see jobs by the hundreds on the web and yet the complaint is always the same: No work ...

Can You Increase Volume In Emdat Jul 26, 2011My Emdat voice quality has been very low recently. Unfortunately my ear phone cord broke and I ordered new earphones but it's just a whisper.

How Do You Increase Sound Quality? Sm Jul 11, 2012I have a service that rerecords from the hospital server and then we download from the service's server. The sound quality is absolutely atrocious by the time it comes to the MT with most jobs sounding like they were dictated on a cell phone inside a cardboard box. I am presently using a Boostaroo which make the audio louder but does nothing to clean it up. Is there something I can buy that will improve the quality? TIA ...
Increase Dictation Volume? Jul 24, 2012Is there anything at all I can do to increase the dictation sound volume when I get these whisperers or people using cell phones, etc, and I can hardly hear them?

Is there anything I can do or buy to amplify the sound with these dictators? I already have my computer and speakers set on the highest volume. I' ...
Boost - According To Testimonial, A Bit Over $130 Pay Increase. Jul 27, 2012Boost didn't help me like that at all. In fact, it didn't make any difference at all in my production. Only learned tricks to keep my inactive time showing as less.
