Does anyone know if it is feasible to have 2 separate software platforms on the same computer without causing conflict?
yes, it is possible - hmmm

A more specific answer could be given if you stated which two platforms you mean. Example, if one needs Word 2007 and the other needs Word 2003, that might be a little more tricky.
2 software programs - Yep

When I worked for 2 employers, I had 2 software programs, and they did not conflict. But, I do agree with what "Hmmm" wrote.
I've worked for 3 different MTSOs. each bought out by another. I was never aware of the type of software programs used by these companies as the work platforms were "proprietary." I'm currently looking for part-time work and notice that most all job applications are asking for the name of or type of software programs used. How do I find out this information? As an example, Webmedx used Enterprise, but I have no idea what software program was used to create this platform. How do I ...
hello,
i like to automate or "macro-ize" every single step of the transcription process. every second counts! however, i cannot choose a macro program (free or for a charge) that works the most efficiently for MTs and does not interfere with any platforms which often have macros written into them. the easier it is to program and use, the better. for instance, trying to write a series of macros in MS Word has the potential of botching up many platform macros--and could ...
Does anyone have any experience with the Medline School of Medical Transcription? I am considering enrolling in their advanced program for acute care medical transcription. I have 10 years of transcription experience, but I haven't done it since 2000 and only have family practice experience.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! ...
I need some real advice on medical coding programs. I feel like I have been searching the internet for weeks and am still at a loss as to what program is the best and if I should start now or wait for ICD10 to come out.
Is a CPC or CCS better or should I get both?
Please let me know your thoughts on the best program to attend online. ...
Hello - I just found out that Stedman's Smartype has been discontinued by Stedmans plus they will offer no tech support. What are other people using as a similar program? I have really like Smartype by am open to other suggestions. Thanks. BanjoGrammie ...
I am a new MT graduate and am searching for a good medical spell checker software that includes line counting, as well as being reasonably priced. Any recommendations? I've checked some websites, but am still unsure.
Thank you for your help.

I just recently quit my job with MQ after having been there for 10 years. I'm now working as an IC on Word. Does anybody have information on a good medical software program (medical dictionary/spell checker/expander) that is compatible with Word. I'd like to get something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!!
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, I want to know who programs the ASR. I'm told that we do, but anytime I make a ligit change, it doesn't stick. Yet, all of a sudden, on an account I have been typing on for 3 years, ASR starts changing the word stroke to a backslash (/) and this is for every instance. If this is something our lovely ILPs are doing, I don't think they are going to last long. If this is something our new USMTs are doing, it's no wonder our work is being shippe ...
I would appreciate some feedback on VR programs. Are you currently working on one you you would recommend? If so, which one and why? Also, are you working on one you would not recommend. If so, which one and why? I would greatly appreciate this information, as we are just beginning to explore the possibility of going to a VR program and this information would be of great value to us in choosing a program that is transcriptionist friendly. ...
I just spoke with an MT at a large radiology group who says they use different softwares for different studies. So they have probably 5 different programs to try to merge into one cohesive patient record. So if they have an MRI and a mammogram (two different software programs), she spends her day putting them together. Not only that, but before they implemented these cumbersome programs, they had 2 IT people to run the IT show. Now they have 7 all of these different engines running. They got rid ...
Hi. I finished MT school at Oak Horizons in November/December of 2010. I also did an intership for a company and after I finished they told me I needed to get a job in a small clinic so I would have someone working with me. In my small town there is not any small clinics or any surrounding towns that I know of. I wanted to ask all of you about any Mentoring Programs? The only one I have looked into was AIM and some of the feed back I have read was good for the mento ...
I am almost finished with my MT course but feel I need more training. I have heard about internship programs, specifically AIM mentoring program (Houck Transcription) and Online Transcription Essentials Internship program, both had enrollment fees that aren't too bad. What their advertising and what I am questiioning is it true that they do hire their interns after the program ends?

I'm assuming the software vendors talk the clients into how much they'll save by paying editors to fix this crap. There is no way someone would buy into this software if they knew what it really looked like in draft form...omg. It would not surprise me if the software vendor slipped a few Benjamins under the table to a willing doc at the facility and had him "train" the software before the presentation to the client. The doc goes in, reads from a script, and near perf ...
I have a doc I do IC for who thinks there are programs out there to do the proofreading for you. Considering what he pays for what I am expected to do I wish he was right, but I have never heard of such a thing. Anyone out there have any idea? ...
Helllo -
I am considering a career transition to MT, and presently researching AHDI-approved MT programs.
I've heard lots of great things about Andrews School; does anyone know anything about, or have taken, the program through TRSi? This is the other one that I was considering.
Thanks for your help!

Is there a program out there that I can purchase other than Express Scribe that would make it easier for me to adjust things on so that I can hear the file a little better? Thank you ...
I have an opportunity to get a brand new MAC as a gift. My boyfriend has an extra one. I work on the BeyondText platform and remember seeing someone on here had a MAC but had a way to split it so her Windows programs ran on the MAC somehow. Tech support at Transcend says it won't work on a MAC.
Or maybe I was wondering if an external driver could be used that was Windows and would run on the MAC. Probably a pipe dream, but a MAC! Oh I would love it! Anyb ...
Anyone noticing differences in the counts of these 2 programs that TT has? First the MT monitor WAS giving better counts than Ichart. Now after months it is reverse. I get the feeling that it is being reprogrammed so we get shortchanged--as usual. Years ago working for a small company we had an account that gave you 5 lines for the demographics and the hidden footer was 1 line. Then the big company came along, TS from Georgia, and THEIR program conde ...
I am looking into coding programs and have it narrowed down to possibly two. They are Andrews and Kaplan University. Does anybody have any experience with any of these that could help me with my decision.
Also, are there any other coding programs out there that are worth looking at?
Thanks. ...
Hope everyone is having a good Thursday. I was wondering if anyone knew any way of converting an IT glossary to make it work in shorthand. Unfortunately, I had to upgrade my computer to Windows 7, and IT V Pro will not work with Windows 7. I had received my IT as a gift MANY years ago, and so do not qualify for the upgrade price, and am not in a position to pay the nearly $200 dollars right now to buy the new version. PC Shorthand has a monthly pay deal, where it is only ...
doctor says "I could not place this in his discharge paperwork as it does not come up in the choices of medications."
But if they were using good transcriptionists, and old-fashioned methods, they could put everything in their reports. ...
