and cumbersome -- would type and wait for it to catch up!  Plus it had some annoying thing where if you were gone too long, a pop up window came up and you had to explain why you were gone.  Bayscribe is fast, smooth, user friendly, and at the end of each report you can see how many lines you did and how much money you made, for that report and for the total day. 

Good luck to you whatever you decide! 

I have done a search on this board but not much info on MedRite.  I know they have their own Expander but can you use Shorthand with this program; I really don't want to have to start from scratch building lists.  Will do what I have to do though.

I replied to this message but it was posted as a reply to the wrong topic so here I go again:

I've been trying to get someone to answer this question for me for months now. The Expander in Medrite is extremely limited and the 'techie' in my company has a copy of Shorthand that he can sort of test to see if it works with Medrite and he still has not gotten around to it..that was 2 months ago. If there is ANYONE out there that can answer this question, please let us know. It would surely increase our production, because at this rate, Medrite is holding me back.

The Medrite I use is in Windows.

I don't believe anyone could come up with a slower program if they tried!  It is just awful.  Also, I work on an account where every single demographic has to be entered manually.  The only thing you can get to automatically populate is the date!  I am new on this (a little over a month).  I am up to 1800 lines, which is awesome but I cringe to think of the line count I could have were it not for this platform.  I do get paid by the line rather than the page though.  Everyone else says they have just gotten used to it.  Guess I will too, but I wish I could tell the company what I think of it and how it has a negative impact on production but like I said, I am new and don't want to give off negative vibes.  I am sure they have heard it before.  Besides, I love everything else about the company and account. 

P.S.  If you named your employer, did you get the solicitation from IT platform business about wanting to contact your company?

I copy/pasted your replies.  Dang.  I have made up many quick referral lists, such as a list for various medications catagory like GI, cardiac, cholesterol, etc  so I can find quickly all made in MS WORD. Will have to thunk on this.

thanks again for responsing.

I haven't worked on the MedRite XL for Windows platform. I  did work on the DOS platform years ago.   To be honest, I forget how it was.  After a while, all of these platforms run together.

Could you tell ME if it is user friendly, productive, can you look up patient reports, search for certain dictator's reports, etc.  Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your input.

Do you know if CentraState is going to the DocQScribe program soon? I understand currently they're still on MedRite?

Also, are any of you MQ MT's still working for other accounts that are still on MedRite? If so, do you think that will continue for a while or be changing over to the new platform soon? I understand the Salt Lake City office will be handling MedRite from now on...has anyone else heard that?

Thanks! I have some decisions to make...soon!

I typed faster than the platform.  It was slow and cumbersome.  I wish I had some tips for you, but the best tip I can think of is try to find a company that doesn't use it.  Sorry.

Good luck! 

Is this accurate - since MedRite is MSWord based, while in the program one cannot minimize and go into your PC and open another saved Word document ( such as a saved list) ? It will freeze the screen.  Anybody?

 If it freezes does that mean you need to reboot?

I went from 250-300 lph to 180-200 lph with it.  Plus it has this spy stuff (I called it), where if you are gone longer than such amount of time, when you come back, you have to say why you were gone (it has things to choose from).  I didn't care for it, but obviously some must.

Good luck!
