The intranet is now back up!
Yay!
W2 were mailed 01/21 according to the intranet
Check the Keystrokes intranet!!!!

Lee has posted info on what you should do if you have not received you W2.

Keystrokes Rocks!!!!


The Intranet is down but being reset. Try again in the morning if you do not get in.
I just called my lead in a panic, but she said not to worry as long as they are in by the 31st at midnight we are OK and if it were down then, they would take them manually. Has not happened to me in the 2 years I have been with them!
The intranet will be down until Monday morning. sm
The upgrade pulled the system down but it will be back up by Monday morning.
There is a note on the intranet stating they are working on changes and that all of them should be c
If I were you I would email Lee directly and let her know that you havent heard anything back.

In the past week I have been added to two accounts.

THANK YOU KEYSTROKES/LEE
We enter our lines daily on the intranet SM
You don't enter the minutes that you type, just the lines for the day.
Intranet is only thing universal, otherwise ask your lead
We all have to enter our lines on the intranet each day (unless it's down!), but other than that it's account-specific. Better touch base with your lead.
Att new Keystrokers
Is it as good there as everyone posting on this board says it is. Just checkin to see if everything is going well. Info much appreciated:)
For all you Keystrokers out there
They have an add for Oncology MTs. Anyone familiar with this and know what platform? Are their platforms Word?  Thanks in advance.
Keystrokers

Would someone who works for KS on the new occ. health account(s), please tell me what platform will be used for the new occ. health accounts, and how difficult this dictation is.  I have never done this type of dictation before.


Also, anyone who is working the new hem/onc account, please let me know either via e-mail or post here how you like this account and platform.


Thanks for your help.


For the Keystrokers

exactly?  You dial in the number to the hospital and the report then comes up?  How is it really working with Meditech?  It must not be so bad that it can't be mastered eventually, everybody gets good line counts fairly easy with it.


THANKS!


Would any Rad Keystrokers explain
how they jump from screen to screen, keep their log and still maintain a high productivity level? I am boggled about this. Any information greatly appreciated.
Any oncology keystrokers? nm

Any Keystrokers using Meditech Client
I read some posts below that stated some were getting 15 while othere were getting 25 reports an hour. Can anyone specifically tell me what they get an hour using Meditech Client? TIA.
Keystrokers - question on getting started

How long did it take you from hire to actually working?  I was offered a position week before last and there's been a couple of snags with the paperwork along the way, but now that's all done and I'm starting to get a little frustrated with the delay.  Everyone there is really nice, though, when I do talk to them, so I really want this to work out.  But I got bills, and was really hoping to get work before the 15th so I could get a little money on the 1st, you know?


Thanks in advance. 


RAD Keystrokers, as of today, is there enough work every day?

Keystrokers do you find it difficult to make lines? Almost

a year ago I was offered a position with KS.  There were lots of rumors going around about my company so I started looking, but I fell for the lies my MTSO told and stayed put.  The rumors became fact and I had to find another job.  I just cannot make decent lines with new company.   I went from gross line to 65 characters, which by itself can make 100+ lines a day difference.  The platform is boggy and I prefer to do Ops only, but doing everything but due to my scheduled work time and the tight TAT of Ops and I'm just not happy.


I  was hired for an acute care account doing Ops at KS, but I can't remember any of the other details (other than of course pay).   I'm thinking about calling them to see what they may have to offer (they said call if I changed my mind), but don't want to have to start all over again only to find myself in the same situation I'm currently in with no able to make lines.


Also, what kind of Expander can you use.   New job uses SH and I really don't like it. 


 


 


Keystrokers - do you work in Word - Can you use ShortHand - How many lines for fulltime? Thanks

do not allow them access..................nm

No DSL access or cable either
where I live. Have satellite access, but hospital will not allow us to use this. For the past 10 years been using dial-up at 28K only, which can be frustrating at times, but I try to hang in there.

My goal is 1400 lines a day (7.5 hour shift), which I accomplish most days, but I do not have any little ones at home.

Hospital installing new web-based system soon, which they say will be much better!

I work for a large corporation with multiple smaller satellite facilities -- I work for one of the smaller facilities. Do you think we work for the same corporation?

I would encourage any experienced MT to work for a national sometime during their career. The experience and wealth of knowledge gained will last a lifetime. It takes an exceptional multi-tasker to be able to transcribe multiple accounts all in a day's work. But, DSL is required by most nationals.

Have you ever worked in a home-based setting?

If not, it takes a lot of discipline to work from home. I also encourage you to keep little ones in day care unless you can arrange to work while they sleep.

I personally am a little on the hyper side, like to move at fast pace and would rather be up working around the house. Warm sunny days are my worst -- love to be outdoors! So, I work in 2- to 4-hour blocks.

Wishing you the very best!
Any info on AMZ access?
They posted on the job boards.  Anyone have any info?
Can MT's access old reports?
.
You still have access to history, sm
If you received the memo on Thursday, read the second to last paragraph. You still have access via a different route. Try it.
If you "grant" them access, they can
My experience has been once you let them connect remotely to your computer, they can do whatever they want while they're in there...which is why I don't leave my desk while they're on there- at least in theory, you can see what they're doing. I worked for a company once that did not like their people to use certain programs, so if tech support was on there for one thing, they kinda looked around. In my case, they saw AOL running down at the bottom and promptly disconnected it and uninstalled it. It actually might be harder to know if they're doing a snapshot, but at least you should know exactly what they're looking at.
Need 2 PC, both with internet access
of course that is prob. DSL monthly fees. See there ad
Control I tells me I have no right to access (sm)
Isn't it that way for all?  I'm new at this.
This is a dumb question but how do I access..sm
For the Record? I have never head of it and when I Googled it nothing came up. I want to check the ads there. Thanks.
Internet access while traveling
Just to add to the information regarding wireless Internet capabilities at several different hotels, it might benefit you to also check out places such as Panera Bread stores.  They are located throughout the country and many of their stores also offer WI-FI free of charge.  Also, you may want to consider going online and checking out WI-FI Hotspots.  Amazing what kinds of places have wireless these days!  (If you're an RV'er, you've really got it made!)  Good luck!
How easy is it to access old reports and
how far back do they go.
I don't get it. QA does not have access to our line counts
you couldn't make line count? From what I was told, only management and support had access to that.
They aren't that big on quality. We have access to
the past 50 files on a doc so if you have questions or need samples you can pull them up.   I'm surprised at the gross errors I see and I'm not even looking for them.   I don't know what percentage of the work they QA, but they need to be doing more than they do.  
Enterprise Access Problem?
Anyone else using AT&T having trouble logging in to Enterprise to work?  
need IC status and can't get high-speed access..sm
I need to find a company that will hire IC and using dial-up (can't get cable or DSL in my area).  I have over 20 years experience. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
The new version you can access line count.
Maybe you do not have good tech support or no one has shown you.
Same for TransTech - have access to previous reports
nm
Just to advise, that company does not have access to MTStars

I can't seem to access the archives. Is this a good company?
D&L talks a good game.  Am frustrated running out of work with Medquist yet again!  Does anyone know if D&L is a decent company to work for? 
A counter this is quicker to access, but I've never seen anything
nm
TTQA does not have access to MT line counts
Nor are they involved in hiring/firing.  Only give our opinion as to someone's quality. And I might add that TT management is as patient on working with someone with quality issues as any company I've seen in 20+ years in this business.  And low work is just part of being in this field.  TT is a good company. 
You use the Ctrl + keys to access everything in the program. Very

I work for them, and I have dial up internet access.

What platforms give you access to old reports?
NM...
FYI, any message board, any at all, have access to IP addies
Some people lol
WMX'ers, can you access the Community Page? sm
It will not let me access it, although it did last night.  I just wanted to check with  y'all before contacting someone at the company.  Thanks!
Midwest Transcription? Anyone know of this company. Cannot access archives. TIA. nm

It was during the summer, I think. Maybe you can access old stories from your local newspaper on
s
Who knows? When I used it, couldnt access line count and hear others saying the same.

Whatever that company is, they absolutely do not have access to our resume bank.

I do not have access to her phone number. I can just assume she has already hired all the help
she needed, but thanks...
I recently downloaded a trial of spyware and it turns off ITV when IT is trying to access it.
Don't know if that may be your problem or not, but that is the only time I have had it happen. It alwasy links to IE and I haven't figured out how to stop that. Wish I could.

You can only access the Jobs Board on MTDaily w/o paid membership. nm
