Let's play VR name that drug: "a cycle of beer" - I kid you not!
Posted: Apr 15, 2010
VR for acyclovir.
I swear when I work it's like doing a puzzle. When I'm bored, I try to decipher the med list without listening to the dictation first.

This VR stuff is really annoying. I was on the phone with my wireless company trying to get some help, and of course I had to verbalize to their voice system what kind of help I needed, which I did. It came up with something totally different than what I had said. Medical records are critical pieces of info and I think that VR is just an accident waiting to happen. The insurance and health care industries are trying to cut corners that should NOT be cut!! Just let human beings document the correct and accurate information.

Yes it would be a joke if it weren't so serious. Nobody can see this except those of us who are PAID LESS to do this crap!

These companies need to fire these horrible VR systems just as they would a horrible MT! For some reason, the VR I work on can't pick up "GERD" unless it's spelled out and will leave a blank every single time.....but this is supposed to be an intelligent system, capable of learning. Geez!
MT's a better route? - 1mt

If I am ever hospitalized, I hope that they do not give me a "cycle of beer" to cure whatever ails me.
Does anyone think that VR will eventually... hopefully soon... fall flat on its a** and health care providers will decide that MT's are a better route?

Providers don't know anything about VR on their end, they don't have to deal with it. It is our MTSO's that put provider's dictations through VR before we get it....HOWEVER...Every doctor/specialist that I have ever been to, talked to or worked for since the start of this EMR nightmare has said they hate it and they would MUCH rather have MT's transcribing their dictation, instead of EMR even though they would have to take time to dictate. The 7 physicians I typed for by myself "in clinic" in Louisiana said that they would refuse going to EMR kicking and screaming as long as they possibly could.
Help! The doctor is talking about electrolyte imbalance possibly secondary to drug reaction, alcohol, SIADH or (so help me!) "beer portal mania"! That's what ASR typed out and now I can't hear anything but that!
Any help would be appreciated!
TIA!

I think I am going to do what a poster below suggested and block them. I don't see that having the reviews come through helps me in any way. I have also noticed that some of these jobs have been QCd twice for some reason - and it is not a post audit. So frustrating to get dinged on things that I just can't prove I did or didn't do....I hate that part of this company. ...
I downloaded test files and a trial version of the MS Word they want the reports typed in. I am having problems now figuring out how to play the MP3 files. Brain freeze, I guess. Do I have to unzip or do "something" with them to get them to play? Thanks so much. ...
hi, all. any recommendations on the best/cost effective software to purchase that plays ds2 files? i just have express scribe currently. thanks in advance!

I can load it into the dock, but it says there are 0 minutes of dictation. If I play it on Windows Media, it says I need a codec. I don't know what that is. If I right click the file, I see it has 2 minutes of dictation on it. Why won't it play? I've tried opening it in several other places, and it just won't work. This is the free version. I've played dozens of files before. ...
I am having trouble converting a DVF file so that I can play with my Wav pedal. My computer will download to a HTML file. Neither file can I open with the Wav. I have installed Express Scribe and still no luck opening the file. Any ideas. Thanks to all. ...
My media player stopped playing .wav files and now I cannot test with anyone because I cannot get it to work on either my XP computer or my Windows 7 computer. I googled it and it seems like a lot of people are having the same problems but I cannot fix mine. Anyone else have/had this problem? ...
I am upgrading to a new computer finally with Windows 7 and IE9. I was thrilled when everything was loading up fine-but the new version of Express Scribe will NOT play DSS files! I have a USB-1 pedal, but this new free version they have insists on us buying their $70 pedal OR their Pro version of Express scribe for $30 (on sale). I am furious! Anyone get this newer version to work w/o buying anything? Thanks in advance! ...
Ok, I'm a new at-home transcriptionist after working inhouse for years, and I am starting a new job soon but I'm confused. I was told I need an audio player that plays dss, wav, mp3 files. Can the free version of Express Scribe do this, or do I need the Pro version? Are there any other free audio players I can download? Sorry if this is a stupid question!
...
Is there supposed to be a red line through the speaker or not if you want to play the silences? They are telling me both ways at my job and personally I can't hear a difference whenever I test it.
Thank you,

Hi,
Anyone work for Medict in Florida. I will be on DocQScribe accounts. Do you like it. Any pros/cons. Anyone know on the DocQScribe system if you can start and stop the voice file by a keystroke. No footpedal available at the moment so transcribing by keystroke to stop and play voice file.
Thanks for any information. ...
I am typing ds2 files and am using the above player which the olympus representative said was created to play ds2 files. however, I have tried taken the file from the place it was sent to me and it seemed to import into Folder A. But the file never could be seen in Folder A or the transcriptionist Tray. I did this many many many times with the same result. The Olympus rep told me to go to the message folder and copy and paste it into Folder A. I then could see it in ...
One of those MTtest sites. Called their help desk and they said a lot of people have trouble, not to worry and try this. I tried that. Nothing. They said to call back and they would work it out.
I don't know if this is worth it. The testing portions were fine, went quickly but just trying to get the transcription part up is time consuming and frustrating. Anyone else have problems with this? ...
I am a concerned IC. I would like to keep my job(s) as an IC and actually still have MTSOs be around to provide jobs. With all of this garbage constantly going on and hurting the businesses, I think that there needs to be some recourse for the MTSOs. All of you so-called IC MTs proclaiming to do other's favors, no thanks. You are not doing any of us "professional" ICs a favor - you are hurting ALL of our businesses, driving all of our work right out of the ...
I have voice files sent to me that I cannot play in Windows Media or Express Scribe. They will load in ES but show 00:00 duration. I thought possibly it was an encryption error as they possibly they are coming that way to be because they are secure but I sent to a friend and she can open them and play them. Windows Media states something about a missing codecs and I have installed if known codecs to man (I am on Windows XP). They just will not play or show the duration etc.&nbs ...
I am looking for a drug that s/l ah pos. I found APO, but that is usually for Parkinson's which the pt does not have. He does have CAD, CHF, t2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypercholesterolemia, PVD, MI, pneumonia. Any ideas? ...
