for at least 10 years. Of course, in my opinion, it is easier to do this because when doing clinic work you have less doctors, less work types and such as that. For me, the pay is the same as any other MT. I love typing oncology though and would hate to have to go back to acute care.

Typed in the USA
To be honest, I was not 100% serious when I posted about starting up Typed in the USA. But the response from people is so unbelievable that I am starting to. I'm trying to write back to everyone who wrote to me.
Do you think the trend might be starting to reverse from the cheap foreign services? The doctors are realizing that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Duh! And many transcription companies (not all because there are terrific companies too) are losing good employees who want to be paid fairly and treated well.
Look at all the sign on bonuses being offered in the Want Ads and the same companies posting over and over. There must be something wrong if you are willing to pay so much for new hires. I have never run a company so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I would try giving that sign on bonus to the good employees you already have to make sure they stay and produce. Then maybe you have to hire less trainers, managers and overworked QA people because your employees stay longer and are motivated. You therefore have less overhead. Hiring more people at lower salary to save money might be a kind of trick that companies play for their stockholders or whatever. They can say look how little we spend on payroll while they are actually losing money in the long haul when quality goes down and they lose clients. But eventually the piper has to be paid.
Anybody see the movie Wall Street with MIchael Douglas? That movie is SOOOOOOO right about what is going on today. CEOs, instead of investing in their communities, became vultures. They would destroy a company to make money for a few backers and then the workers and community would be left to die.
Sorry to get a soapbox here! I'm transcribing orthopedics and my mind is wandering!
I don't know when she typed them
.
cpl - I have never typed for
I have never typed for anyone that required a line rate. Mine were always minutes.
That is funny because I typed in
DocuMed and it came up the very first response. Also, you can type comments on DocuMed in Google and it will show old postings from sites such as this one. I would like some info on them, too:)
The NPs and PAs I've typed for said
things like erythromy-A-cin and digoxacin and larNIX and pharNIX. So are they illiterate/dyslexic? We all know they're reading it from the chart. Amazes me.
OH I can't believe I typed "I was do." I'm so ashamed!!!
I KNOW you have to send it out as if you typed it yourself (sm)
My question wasn't whether I had to send it out at a 98 to 100% standard. My question was whether all of you VR lovers actually do that. I can't in good conscience send out work that is less than my best, but by the same token, I can't figure out how to edit the VR crap fast enough to make a living.
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET????
I realized it after I typed it :)

Oncology
Intellitype was looking specifically for oncology about a week or so ago.
Oncology
Yes, I know they were looking but I am leery of pursuing a job with a company I know nothing about. I have posted queries on both MT Stars and MTDaily about this company and have received no replies. I might just go ahead and take their test then see what comes of it though. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! Much appreciated.
Who is looking for oncology MTs? I have...sm
 20 years experience (teaching hosp), plus ortho and cardiology, and multispecialty clinic. No OB/GYN, tho. Anyone? TIA.
I will be doing oncology.....sm
but I know they were looking for Ortho MTs also.
ONCOLOGY
I was to be training on a new oncology account this week but I have decided to quit KS.
KS Oncology
I do know when KS did the mass hiring about a month ago for a new Oncology acct, I was hired. It was Allscripts platform and was a realllll dream, but the reports were so incredibly brief (4-6 lines)that there was no way I could make my line count unless I was glued to my chair and the voice file was not the greatest either. Needless to say, I stayed with my current company.
I did ask for a backup account and it was the same way as well, few lines per report.
I love Oncology and have been doing it for many years, but I am used to doing clinic consults, full office notes, etc.
4.5 and 5.5 for oncology i believe.
xx
I am an MT for Oncology and there
is no way I would type it for that amount of money. It is not an easy speciality. You get what you pay for.
Yes, typed 3 voice files
The recruiter gave me three voice files and I had two hours to return them. Not bad, one was kind of hard. You only have to fill in the blanks, not transcribe the entire report. Just like doing an edit. From the time I applied on-line, got a call from the recruiter and tested and then offered a position was less than two days. They sent me an equipment package and paperwork, I trained and now I am working my way through the three week full QA process. Nice people so far, I am very happy with Medware.
Ugh, I have typed face lifts before. sm
No way would I want that spoon elevator peeling my face off the muscles and then wrapping my head in gauze. So gross. I'll take the wrinkles any day.
Tssc pays for everything that is typed sm
So if you type a patient name, dob, or dos, you get paid for it. TSSC works for some people, for some it does not.
I've heard and typed that before.
I don't really see the humor, it is just technical terminology. Just my opinion.
I like Typed in the USA, but I would make it Transcribed in the USA
It's longer but better description than typed, at least I think so. Good luck!!!
review typed reports
The only way I know to review reports already typed is they go to QA for anything. Of course, when new, the MT is on full QA.
It sounds like the OP is wanting as much info on DQS as possible, so here are a couple things I don't believe I saw in this thread.
Keep in mind that as new accounts are started, there will also be blanks left, usually for demo things, landmarks, etc., so that is a big help, too.
Bravo! Your message should be typed and placed on
But most importantly, of course, on the desk of every MT company CEO across America.
Greed is NOT good. It's why our entire economy is in the mess it's in today.
Probably typed by templated machine -
I seriously doubt the tech of the physician himself. The company I used to work for also had this and it was a templated program that typed out the report (in other words, VR).
Also wanted to add, if they want spaces typed, they
dang sure better pay for them!
All questions are being TYPED; everyone is on mute. nm

If it's the same oncology account that I believe was in
Chicago or thereabouts, run very quickly. They had a very hard time staffing that account and went so far as to take all the other accounts away from some MTs just so they would have to work on the oncology account. That's why I left. I was with them for a year and found them to be very MT unfriendly, although they say they have changed. But beware, Jan Clay (the recruiter) worked for many years at EDiX which is now Spheris, so that should tell you something.
Looking for oncology work.....sm
Looking for a part-time IC position that consists mainly of hematology/oncology work. No national companies please. If you have any leads, please leave your email and I will send a resume. Thanks!
Anybody know who has an oncology account ? sm
Need part-time flexible hours and a decent line rate - prefer to work over the net. I haven't been between jobs in a couple years now and here I am coming up short and before Christmas no less. I have 10 years experience. Any suggestions? It doesn't sound like there is a single decent company listed on these boards that anybody truly likes to work for.
Oncology Transcription
Seeking oncology transcription position. 15 years experience in medical and radiation oncology.
For oncology or for any account?
nm
Intellitype for Oncology
You would have to be an IC but they are extremely flexible and I know are looking for help on this account. It is for Oncology. The company is great to work for and great people to deal with.
Oncology Account
It uses Word-based AllScripts platform -- very easy to use. My favorite platform! You need Windows XP -- not Vista and a wav pedal. They start people between 8 and 9 cpl based on experience.
Any oncology keystrokers? nm
nm
There are 3 oncology accounts, 2 are new. sm
The older one and one new one use Allscripts, which is web based and easy. The new one is a total outsource with a large group (30) of oncologists.
The other new one is done in Meditech, has 15 oncologists and is Mon-Fri only.
It is an oncology clinic. Cannot say the name. The other two are
hospitals.
Medical oncology
Landmark has an excellent medical oncology account. I know someone who works on it. You need at least five years of experience in oncology, I think, to interview.
Landmark/Oncology
Would you please clarify if this is the Landmark in Philadelphia or California. I did a search for Landmark on the board and there are many comments but I'm confused as to which Landmark you are referring to and if it's a currently stable and thriving company. Many comments on the board talk about a Landmark that lost many accounts recently.
Would appreciate anything else you can tell me about the Landmark with the oncology account.
Proscript oncology
I think these may be new accounts. In six years, I have never had VR with Proscript
Transtech ad/oncology
Is the workload at TT better now since I see they have an ad up for oncology...would like to hear if there is enough work on this account(s) to apply. Thanks
typed "thanks" at the end of the above msg, not wha'ts showing there. nm
99% Indian offshore typed - They hold on
to US transcriptionists until a new account is up and running, then let you go. I am friends with someone that did QA for them - she told me that was the company's practice. She no longer works for them because she spent more time retyping reports.
I've typed radiology on Extext...
for several years now and I wouldn't want to work on any other platform. I love it.
The session statistics will vary depending on several factors. I also worked for a company where the ability to view was not allowed, and the reason for this was because the Extext line counting was different from the line counting used by the company I worked for. If the specific contract your MTSO has with the account you work on is not paid by the same line counting configuration, then the session statistics will not be the same as the line counts you get off of the iChart website which are set up according your account's specific line counts parameters.
You will probably find as many people that hate Extext as you do that love it...I for one definitely do love it. Good luck! :)
Let spellcheck to its job. When typing and I knw I typed a word
h
That's ridiculous. If you have ever typed a pathology report
you would know that. It is sometimes a double process, typing the gross and then going back in and typing the microscopic.
I cannot fathom how anyone could offer so little money for those type reports as the terminology is extremely technical.
easy, typed test reports
no ESLs, typed 2 test reports in under 10 minutes, these are just cysts, skin pathology.
I think she means don't bold it until you've typed
after a space. Then once you've transcribed past the header, go back and bold it. Meditech is blah!! You'll get used to it, but it's not transcription friendly for sure.
speaking, sorry for the typo, but I typed it too fast! nm
nm
It usually is 10-12 lines typed per minute of dictation. nm
x
Please excuse the typos. I typed fast as this
is such a hot subject with me. I should have proofed before I hit post. The content of the message is 100%, although the QA did not pass well. Forgive me!
I have big compassion for typos typed in haste
or even anger! Everybody does this.
But the errors that I pointed out are not done out of haste or anger, these are done out of lacking of grammar and spelling skills.
Done repeatedly, in this post 10 times the same mistake!
It is MT
MTs for plural
in the 60s, not in the 60's
etc....
