There is more in the beginning.
Ms. Daigh continues with a relevant illustration about documentation time and costs, noting the example of a typical outpatient visit to an internist and indicating that it takes about one minute to dictate a note for an ...
Does anyone know what the role of the CCM is? It seems all they do is make sure there's adequate coverage for all of the accounts, so MT scheduling/schedule adherence, accepting or denying PTO requests, some Teamwork stuff, approving time sheets -- what am I missing? Also, does anyone know how much they get paid? This seems like the easiest job in the world, considering no weekends, no holidays. I hear from mine about once every 2 weeks when she sends out reminders to approve your time shee ...
In answer to my original post to Val, only 2 issues here, Val:1. We are almost all woman. It is run like a system that once historically ran hospitals. We are not a Walmart, Kmart, Target, McDonalds. We are skilled workers, women for the most part, and from the old days, historically this has been a woman's role/job in a fraternity of higher powers, the men who once often had nuns as cohorts filling this postion for no pay at all.2. Although some individual hospitals may not care about thei ...
The role of the MT is always evolving. No doubt we are all trying to figure out a way to stay afloat. One of those ways could be for the MT to go beyond just transcription into assisting with the clinical documentation (including the complicated ICD-10). Some doctors believe that medical transcription is one of the least efficient parts of their medical practice. Certainly, many MT's have moved beyond transcription into speech recognition Medical Editors ...
I've been reading all the posts on here, I have read the emails from Medquist.
I don't do this job for fun. I do it to get paid. If I have to spend all my time looking up old reports and trying to figure out what this doctor mumbled or that one said when his head was underwater, my line counts will go down...meaning less pay.
And yet if I send blanks to the client that get audited and THEY think I could have found the information, I go back on 100% QA... hence less pay.

I've been having this problem recently. Whenever I'm on computer, whether it be looking at a website, reading email, etc., I will intermittently have commercial ads (audio) play in the background. I've had my ISP do tune-ups and malaware/virus removal twice in the last two days. Today, after being on Internet for 30 minutes, there it was again; a commercial for ice cream. How can I work listening to dictations with commercials playing at the same time? Does anyone know what is goi ...

Has anyone else had a problem with the audio stopping? I was in the middle of a report and my audio stopped playing. I checked my foot pedal and all seems well there. I even tried to use the CTRL space to make it play...nothing. Interestingly, the FF and REW functions appear to be working fine.
Thanks in advance!! ...
Hello,
Express Scribe Pro won't play until the end of some my files. It cuts it off a few seconds to a minute before it's over. Is there some kind of setting that I need to change to fix this?
TIA! ...
I have been sent a number of .wav files. Express scribe can't play them, and is opening them as multi-channel files.
Windows Media player isn't playing them.
VLC isn't.
Real Player isn't.
I have renamed them, and downloaded updated drivers for my sound card. I have tried multiple computers. Another MT on the account is having the same issue.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on this?
MTSO is able to play them okay on her wave player.

Hello All,
I am hoping someone might have some quick help for me. I have just started a new account, did a test file last night, downloaded an MP3 file to Express Scribe. This is my first experience with MP3 files. Tonight I am starting actual work for this new company, did all that I did last night in terms of downloading and ES acts as though it is playing but I am getting no sound. A little window is now open on express scribe that I have never seen before and it has two channels listed. Can ...
not everyone wins. There are happy MTs at every company, depending on whether one gets a good account, good supervisor, straight typing, etc., or not. Total game of chance with many variables. ...
Checked line count and wrote it down. 5 jobs later, checked line count. It showed that I had done the 5 jobs, but line count had not changed. Are they skimming again. Anybody else notice this. Do a check and see if you are having the same issue. Thanks. I think we are being cheated. Twice the work, half the pay. ...
I am trying to do a transcription test and the company I used to work for changed my computer setup and I can no longer use Express Scribe to play voice files using my foot pedal. Does anyone know where the settings are to make it play voice files once they are on Express Scribe and where on my computer do I check to see what the foot pedal setting is? I have been trying to fix this so I can get through the transcription test and hopefully MAYBE ACTUALLY GET A JOB?&nbs ...

Hi,
The patient is a teenager with a displaced Salter II fracture of the index finger. The cast is so he can play football. I'm really coming up empty handed on my google search this time. I found 2 (count em TWO) results for RTV-11 cast, which is something but doesn't really build my confidence.
Thanks! ...
I seem to be spending an awful lot of time in VR documents, so I am confused as to why I am getting paid less for them. This stupid VR system types whatever it thinks it might be hearing and sometimes doesn't type anything at all. I hate this VR. I am up to 1800 lines but usually do 2200-2500 a day on straight transcription. I don't know how I am going to feed my children. I am a single mom and the head of household. Believe me the child support isn& ...
I turned in my 2-week notice and working the last week of the notice. When can I expect to get my last check as I am waiting on labels from the company to send back computer and cannot get CCM to answer as to if check will be held until computer is returned? Is there anybody with this experience that can tell me how long to expect to wait for the check and to wait for the labels as I have nowhere else to turn for the answers? Really need my check, but cannot get anyone to send ...

Journalist's deadline question on Webmedx and Nuance - sewhidbey
A journalist is doing an article on the local hospital's decision to outsource their transcription to Webmedx. The journalist wants info from MT's. Good chance to talk about Q, too! Here's a link to the article:

I'm no genuis, but I think I have to make some changes here. My PT check for 20 hours was around 100 less than my FT 40 hour check. I like my FT job, good accounts, great supervisors, but the lines just don't accumulate there like anywhere else I have ever worked.
Then I worry, what if the other company runs out of work or loses an account and I get laid off. There is no security in this business anymore. I guess, just don't burn your bridges b ...
