SoftMed...as in ChartScript??
I despise ChartScript!
Softmed/Chartscript.net??
Can anyone provide info on Softmed/Chartscript or Softmed/Chartscript.net? I have used Chartscript.net before but do not know if this is the same thing and was told I might have to go to this (Softmed). I'm confused. Are Softmed and Chartscript.net the same thing?
What is Softmed like? Can I use my ShortHand expander? Any info appreciated. Thanks.
Companies that use SoftMed/ChartScript? sm
I am looking to move from an employee position at a hospital into a PT or IC position. We currently use SoftMed/ChartScript. Are there any companies that use this platform that hire for PT employees or IC?
Thanks for your help!
3M = SoftMed = ChartScript = ChartScript.Net
SoftMed was purchased by 3M in 2007. Both products ChartScript and ChartScript.Net are still available. Both have internal text Expanders that work well
yep, softmed as in ChartScript, yuck yuck yuck
The pay is way too low and Softmed

Question about Softmed
I currently work for a hospital from my home as an IC MT. They will be converting to SoftMed in about a month. They cannot tell me now if this will affect me. Is this is a program that will eventually take my job from me? I know nothing about this program.
Thanks
It isn't SoftMed, it is SmartMed
Softmed is the name of the company sm
Chartscript (maybe Chartnet) is the software. Only Expander program I know for sure that works with this software is InstantText.
What companies use ChartScript and ChartScript.net?
have heard of SoftMed but not MedSoft :(

In January, their software was SoftMed & you still

That's what a contact told me about using CareFlow. Don't know about SoftMed or anything else

TSI now SoftMed was supposed to be atrocious with their DOS software and cut-and-paste work. Any

Satellite is secure. Wireless DSL is less secure than satellite but
yet companies accept that. Satellite can be very secure depending on how you have everything set up.
Satellite
I believe one is Transcend.
They had a ad once that said no satellite. nm

Do not get satellite!!!
Satellite is a waste of money. I had it for four years and I could hardly work for any MTSO companies. Most of them do not allow satellite. If you have DSL or cable, please go that route. I currently use EMDAT and I remember the employer's ad said no dial-up or satellite with EMDAT. Good luck!!!
Satellite, anyone? (sm)
I found a great house out in the boonies and the only available high-speed internet is by satellite, a company called Wild Blue. Does anyone know of any MT companies that let you work by satellite, and has anyone got any experience with Wild Blue or other satellite providers? I appreciate the help. Can't move if I can't work.
What is so bad about satellite
In my experience with satellite internet, it has been way better than cable as far as outages. When I had an outage with cable, there was NOTHING I could do until it was back up and running usually by calling the cable company.
If there is an outage with my satellite internet, I can do several things that ALWAYS WORK.
EX #1: If it is snowing and my internet isn't working, I go wipe off my satellite with a broom.. Internet is back instantly. Sometimes I have to do this several times a day.
EX #2: If your internet isn't working and it isn't snowing or torrential downpour of rain, then unplug your internet and shut down your computer. Restart and then plug everything back in. Always works.
Only time I have ever lost internet was to torrential downpours of rain and the second it let up, my internet was back.
Am I one of the lucky few that this happens to? It is just so irritating to see not accepting satellite internet because of reliability issues.
I think sometimes people just use that to an advantage and it gives ALL SATELLITE a bad name - I'll just tell them I didn't work because my internet was down. Do you know how many times in the past 2 years I had to call off of work because of internet issues? ZERO. Do you know how many times I had to call off work because my cable internet was down? At least once a week. Not fun.
You can get satellite for $70/mo and
can get free systems sometimes if you sign a 12-mo contract. If you are unable to get a job because you don't have high-speed internet then look at the cost of that versus satellite.
Satellite
Does anyone know of any companies, large or small, that work with satellite (Hughes)?? I have just moved to a very remote area and broadband is not available. Any help is much appreciated.
Satellite
Years ago I was so naive that I thought I was cable when (because it was through a cable company) I applied that is what I told them and I had fewer problems than the people with actual cable connections or DSL, and I had more protection against tampering with my internet than I currently do with the best cable company in town. So, I am not entirely sure that I would not just apply and say yeah high speed internet connection.
satellite
I tried working on one of the accounts they now have when I had a satellite. It was just not compatible. I now have DSL, much better all around. I was working for MQ when I had the satellite and they had a great hospital, which has since gone to KS.
I have satellite...
I had cale for yrs ... loved it ... now moved to country had to get satellite. Yea its a little slower but seriously ..not bad and the satellite companies usually have three catagories ... FAST FASTER and FASTEST ... i only have fast... and its really not bad
ChartScript
Any opinions on ChartScript platform -- how is it to work on? Am considering job offer. Thanks.
RE: ChartScript
Work with it every day at the hospital that employs me. Great program. Word based, choose admission date/work type from drop-down menu, click on correct information, begin transcribing. Piece of cake.
ChartScript?
Can anyone tell me anything about chartscript? I am wondering if the program is user friendly, etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
p.s. Have a good holiday weekend!
CHARTSCRIPT
I was wondering if anyone knows what companies use Chartscript for their platform....I have used it before while working inhouse and liked just wondering.
Thanks!!
ChartScript or ChartScript.net
ChartScript is SoftMed's Word based transcription application, requires an install on your PC. ChartScript is awesome, user friendly, easy to learn. ChartScript.net is SoftMed's browser based application, does not use Word and is awful. Hope that helps.
ChartScript
Worried..the hospital where I work uses ChartScript. I like it pretty well. We use it with WinScribe. Hope this helps.
ChartScript
Yes, ChartScript is great. Works really well.
Chartscript
Anyone know of a company who uses Softmed (Chartscript) as its platform?
ChartScript
I now work for a company called E-mtsonline. They are based out of Coral Gables, Florida and great to work for. They used to be MRC before Medquist bought them out 8-10 years ago. Hope this helps. Also, they have tons of accounts and work. Great benefits and PTO.
ChartScript
All I saw was 65 character lines. It seems to not count whole reports.
ChartScript
Headers, etc. probably are not counted since they don't pay for weekends or holidays either.
Chartscript
Can anyone out there give me a comparison of Chartscript as compared to Meditech, Dictaphone Extext, or DocQScribe in terms of productivity?
I realize this depends on the MT but would really appreciate some input. 
chartscript
Your fingers will get used to the log in process quickly and it will become automatic and no problem. At least it did for me.
ChartScript
I have used ChartScript over five years. It is wonderful to work with. There are built-in Expanders and you can create your own. You can also set up your own normals. It is very user friendly. The demographics are easily entered. You can easily verify your line count. I have not used any other platform so I can't make any comparisons but I love CS.
chartscript
Chartscript was a wonderful platform, too bad the company that has it (SPi) sucks!
Chartscript
I just took on a new account that uses Chartscript. I have never used this platform before. It is a good, stable platform that is easy to use? I have worked mostly in ExText and have never even seen Chartscript before. I just want to be prepared. Thanks!
ChartScript
Looking to work with ChartScript. Anybody?
Chartscript.com sm
Chartscript.com.... the good, the bad, the ugly...? Any information greatly appreciated 
chartscript
In 15 years I've used a boatload of transcription platforms: MTS, MedRite, DoQscibe, Chartnet and now MS Word, but I have never used BayScribe. I detested DoQscribe. ChartNet was a joy to switch to when I switched jobs. I worked with ChartNet for about 18 months (then my employer sent all its work to the Philippines and dumped the US personnel - but that's another story).
I found ChartNet a very user-friendly platform. It is easy to modify expansions, to back them up and restore then from a floppy disk, something no technical person could help me accomplish with DoQscribe. One feature of ChartNet I miss every day is the way I could highlight a term and jump right to Google to look it up. What a timesaver! Also, I was able to look up not only my own past reports, but the work of other MTs, and do it by dictator, so that I could figure out unclear dictation from the way others had interpreted it. Really good system. I think you'll like it.
chartscript
Well, duh! Just realized you were NOT asking about Chartnet but Chartscript. Is my face red! I should be sleeping, not messing around online at this hour. In the words of SNL's Emily Litella: Never Miiiind!
Chartscript
Depends on what acct you're on. Which will you be going on?
chartscript
Does anybody know any companies who use Chartscript? Also, do I have to check with who I am working for as to whether I can use Instant Text with it? I worry it may affect things on their end and don't want to damage anything. TIA.
ChartScript
I believe Diskwriter out of Pittsburgh still uses ChartScript as the UPMC Healthcare System in that area uses it also. Hope this helps. Belinda
I use ChartScript
but not with Keystrokes. I am not sure about the medical spellchecker issue because we also use NetLinc and work in our own Word 2003 and I use that spellchecker. However, the issue with things popping up that you do not type are things within ChartScript. If, and you have to do this every time you log in to work, hit control W, it will not do this.
ChartScript
.... also, I like ChartScript a lot.
ChartScript
You are more than welcome to e-mail me any time, and hopefully I will have an answer for you. It would be nice if they had a manual. If I find out that they do, I will definitely let you know
