I am doing a huge hospital system sm
and just ran out of work tonight! Can't believe it.
I do have another, but am waiting to get set up in their hospital system
Sad to say... it takes time to start another job while having to pay bills at the same time...
If they use the hospital's system, the choice is not theirs. Get a clue. nm

At Diskriter, that hospital system in Florida that they do .... SM
is anyone familiar with it? There seems to be a lot of turnover - do you think it's because of bad dictators, bad sound, or what?? 
C-phone, yes you dial into the hospital system, enter
your code and the work comes off. You sign off one report and the next report comes up.
I don't work on Meditech, so I can't speak for that. Some love it, some hate it depending on what version it is.
Our hospital still uses them and they can't be that antiguated as our system was purchased 2 year
I think the quality is much better than tapes. It is the same as talking on the phone. I also work part time for a service on two accounts that use a c-phone and I only need one phone line.
Diskriter - Working for the largest hospital system in FL.
The benefits look fabulous! Strict schedule? Good PTO?
Thx!
Ewww - I worked on Meditech Magic in a hospital system - sm
unless the platform has improved mightily, it was horrible. There was no word Expander in Meditech and the spellcheck dictionary was very limited. By changing to a Word-based platform, my lines per hour increased about 75 LPH in one whack.

Midwest
I am originally from the midwest, headed back after 20+ years in Florida. Bought a house 1 year ago and recently sold it for more than double what I paid for it. The housing prices just keep going up, especially in the populated areas, i.e, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm Beach.

Midwest MT is right
Definitely try a local doctor's office or local MTSO. I work as an employee for nephrologists and I don't have to type a minimum number of lines. I type whatever work I have for any given day and when I'm done, I'm done.
midwest here....
and only 3 reports today! Nothing on my accounts at all. This is insane. I have applied to a few other places. I can understand it getting low, but I have to pay bills somehow and this isn't going to work.
Mediscript in Midwest
Any information, good or bad on this company?
I got the same call - F from midwest here.
I just don't understand why they are so concerned that we received that flipping letter, despite the fact that it doesn't really say anything.
They also have a pdf of it on Qnet somewhere. I have messed around with the "rewards" section on Qnet and that HEAT thing seems to be some kind of outsourced help desk. Wonder what that's all about?
Re: Midwest housing
Well, it definitely takes two incomes to live in the Bay Area, unless one person makes $100,000 or more. I think we pay for the weather (voted best in the country, believe it or not) and the ambiance (sp ?). I always say if your family is close-knit, then live near your family if you can, as we do. My husband and I have talked about relocating to Florida and other states, but we would rather deal with earthquakes than hurricanes, tornadoes, and/or snow storms. We'll probably cry a different tune when the next big quake hits!!
Midwest where? Not Michigan, I can tell you that.
new Michigan MTSO ... and I'm just going to have to be moving on ASAP. This particular accent is just about as bad, if not worse, than Eastern European for me. And this is just way too high a percentage for me to deal with.
Danged if I know where you can go to find fewer, but I'm going to be asking about that pointblank from now on, however negatively doing so will impact my job opportunities. I mean more than 25-30% ESLs is just beyond ridiculous, IMO. More power to those of you who can and will do more than that. I'm sure you deserve a lot more than whatever you're being paid.
Midwest Transcription
Anybody have info on Midwest Transcription in Wisconsin? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Midwest Transcription Services
Does anyone know anything about this company, good to work for, steady work, pay on time, etc?
Anybody else on new TT account (midwest area)
I received some instruction sheets on the new account, but it's only the second acct I've done, and the demographic instructions are much different and I haven't gotten any feedback yet on all the things I'm probably doing wrong. Have e-mailed and no answers yet. Anybody on this acct and have time to answer questions by e-mail? Am I the only clueless one?
Midwest Transcription Services
Does anyone know anything about Midwest Transcription Services? I think it is located in Wisconsin. Thanks.
midwest transcription services....
does anyone know how they count their lines?
Still in honeymoon phase, midwest. You might not
have been at this for a much, much longer time and will be able to help you once you do hit snags in the road. And you will. It is NOT being negative, it's being honest. I do not believe in portraying being an MTSO as the answer to all problems, either, because it's not for everyone. I worked long, LONG days as an MTSO with several clients and couldn't keep subcontractors despite paying well and pretty easy clinic work. I was stressed to the max and had zero time for myself or my family. Negative, you bet! At least it grew to be negative FOR ME, which is why I don't do it anymore. If it works for you, fantastic, but don't act like just because it doesn't work for others that makes them wrong somehow. This is about sharing experiences and everyone has a different one.
I found a great MTSO to work for now, I'm treated well and make as much as I did as an MTSO once I subtract all the free hours I worked, supplies bought, gas spent on errands, etc., etc. I'm a much happier person as a result, plus I actually get to be with my family-and without guilt that I should really be working! Like I and others have stated, it's not all goodness and light.
Not all MTSOs are terrible to work for and not all MTs are cut out to be MTSOs, and that's a fact.
Midwest Medical Transcription Services
I don't know if this is going to post in the correct spot, I have never tried to post anything before. Does anyone have any information on Midwest Medical Transcription Services LLC in Wisconsin? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I work at home and I live in the Midwest.
You have to consider the job market and cost of living in your area of the country. I think I'm doing pretty darn good. If I factor in the incentive pay, I'm making around $35 per hour.
Midwest Transcription? Anyone know of this company. Cannot access archives. TIA. nm
nm
to long time MT - the cost of living is about the same as the midwest - sm
you can have rent ranging anywhere from $500-900/month depending on where you live and what you want. It's not expensive like NY or DC or VA. The line rate is ABOVE - A-B-O-V-E 8.5/line and the docs are fairly easy with the exception of a few marblemouths, but I think every hospital has to have a few marblemouths, or it just wouldn't be right. If you are seriously thinking of it and would like to send us a resume, let us know your email and we will contact you!
We posted this because we wanted to know our options - rather than to have an outside service take the overflow.
See post below about noncompliant MTSO - this pretty much sums up Midwest - nm

I'm a midwest MT too (Kansas) ... but my gourd painting skills are definitely lacking too. :( n
Diskriter off off offshores - and on some hospital accounts - they have not informed the hospital

Jewish is the main hospital, St. Mary's is another hospital under their management. (nm)

First for hospital, then outsourced still on same hospital work
and believe it or not, the hospital was so much easier. Had worked at the hospital for 11 years before they outsourced and then worked another 3+ years for the company they outsourced to. What a difference! The company had so many rules and regulations you could hardly keep up with them all, thousands of them, on the same account, mind you. The higher ups would not leave you alone, constant IMs about any and all. I have gotten to the age where I do not need all that and walked the other week. Have scheduled testing with another hospital for this month. Hope I make the cut, love the hospital work 1000 times more than a company.
MDI's new system.. Can anyone tell me
if they like it, love it, hate it? I HATE IT! It has cut my lines in half and I'm ready to throw in the towel. It's a second job for me and I only do it part time. I love the account I'm on and everything but their new system stinks. I didn't mind AIM but their new system can join my hated docs on the long cruise to nowhere that I wish they take every time I get them..
Is it the AIM system still? nm
s
new MDI system
Hi, I have been working on the new system, yes there are some issues with quality - I have been putting my headset in the back of my computer and the sound is much better. I love the new system though, it just needs some time
OLD SYSTEM
Except for a couple of accounts, they are still using the OLD DOS program.
I mean system - DUH! nm
nm
I was 300-350+ at Q, can't get above 270 at Wx. It's their system. nm

Don’t know what VR system you use
but this is why I said, it has to be trained correctly. If you have scads on and 1 does something 1 way, the next another way, the third some other way, that is where the problem comes in. By the end of the day my total was $153 so that was ok for me and it is so much easier than straight.
System was down for a while. It is frustrating.
I know they are working on it. Overall, I like this system better than most.
No structure/system at MDI-MD...sm
I feel like they have too many MTs typing amuck anywhere and everywhere whenever they want 24/7 causing everyone to have to work 24 hours a day to get their lines in. I have been chained to this computer for over 5 months now.
If you do not already have an abbreviation system
you will not succeed. I don't mean to say this in a mean spirited way. I'm saying it after working for several companies where I needed ShortHand and had to build it from scratch. It is counterproductive to learn new accounts, a new platform, and a new abbreviation system all at the same time. It takes literally weeks of refining the entries that would allow greater productivity...weeks that you won't have time to invest when you are expected to be up at full production by your third paycheck. Consider everything.
I should have specified that Allscripts is EMR system.
nm
Oh and learn this new system..
 Be an IC at 7 cpl, and do your assigned work and be our slave! What a joke...
Not sure, but I think it's a call-in system...
and probably most of the docs are using phones in the hospital. Just the other day I had a doc call from home and dictate from his kitchen. Sounded like he was washing dishes, and he stopped often to talk to his small children. There was a dog barking, and I could hear him let the dog out as he was dictating.
Now and then, some of the docs dictate on speaker settings because they want their hands free to type into computers for patient records, or to go through papers.
I've had this sort of thing on every account I've ever done at every company.
Whenever it's really bad, I send an email to support and/or my account supervisor. I always get good response from them. No one can check a dictation station or tell a dictator to get off his cell phone if we don't let the office know that there's a problem. :)
Was the system ExText?
They told me I would be working on ExText. Is this the platform you used? And thank you for your response! I really appreciate it.
What kind of a system is it?
nm
Don't know what kind of system they
are using, but they just put in a new VPN server to handle it. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do at home to help staying connected, or if other people had experienced this while running Extext.
Ahh their GREAT system!!!!
and clocking in and out
It IS the system. I got an e-mail from my STM
this week stating so.
Transolution DOS system
Would anyone be willing to email me about Transolutions DOS system? It is hard to make any money on this platform? It seems there have been negative posts regarding this but I would like to apply. It is so hard to make a decision about company with so little info to go on - it would be nice to get a heads up both good and bad..... Thanks....
