Proofreading & Editing chart notes - Mims


Posted: Apr 09, 2010

Does anyone know what a fair charge is for proofreading and editing chart notes (ortho) that are done in the Dragon Naturally Speaking platform?  Is it best to charge by the line, word or the page?  Any answers would be greatly appreciated!

I had an interview - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
a few months ago with a local ortho clinc that was switching over to Dragon. It paid hourly about $13. They were still in the process of switching over and were unsure how many of their MTs would be willing to stay on and edit. It was in-house, M-F, holiday pay, paid vacation, etc. Not enough for me to leave my home-based job with the big MTSO, but was briefly tempted for holidays off paid and easy schedule.

Do Any Of You Use Sticky Paper To Print Chart Notes?
Jul 23, 2013

I am beginning to transcribe for a new local physician.  I've been an MT for 20 years, have had my own clients & have worked for the nationals - but I've never printed onto sticky paper.  The office manager gave me a whole pack of it.  It has 11 perforated sections from top to bottom, with about a 1-inch margin on right and left. Is there some sort of a template for Microsoft word that will print correctly onto each section? I don't see a name brand on the pac ...

Op Notes
Apr 19, 2010

When everything after heading is numbers (such as IV FLUIDS 1500 ml, EBL 2000 ml, etc.), do you spell out fifteen hundred milliliters and two thousand milliliters?  That is how I interpret the rule of not starting a sentence with numerals, but it really does cloudy the waters and make the op note less easy to read.  ...
