I lasted one job on their ortho account
Posted By: MDmt on 2009-08-10
In Reply to: I'd like info on Archivus, too! - Curious
was told right up front, first sentence by the trainer that the system was very intricate and difficult; she was right - 50+ page manual just on how to access the system (four separate systems to log into before you could retrieve a file). No samples given because prior reports can be accessed through one of the systems (and who wants to spend all their time searching through old records to find canned text?). I thought I could rock it with 16+ years experience but said no thank you after completing the first file. I will say one of my fellow MTs works there on a Bayscribe account and had wonderful things to say about the company - it was just my bad luck to run into an account with a horrible very unfriendly MT system.

I lasted 2 weeks with the account and sound quality. sm.
It was a verbatim account and the sound quality was extremely bad. Nothing but a headache that I just wasn't willing to put up with for a paycheck when I had other options. With no other options I may consider staying longer, but no way any other time.
Keystrokes does. I am on an ortho account that is sm
busy, consistent and very well run. I know that they are getting more of the centers with this group. I have been there since February and plan on staying until I retire.
Depends on the account but most of them for ortho are on the sm
Scribe platform. I found it to be easy to learn and really like working in it.
Keystrokes -ortho account
Does anyone have any info on Keystrokes ortho accounts? Have you worked on them or tested with them for an ortho position? What is the testing like? Thanks!
I tested for Ortho account
I tested for an ortho account and had 1 blank but they did not hire me. I thought I did good.
on my account, which is ortho, I had to have my own equipment...
but that only requires a foot pedal...someone else just posted that you can use a C-phone from them if needed but other than that you need your own equipment...
I am on an internet account for Keystrokes. It is ortho but my
friend is on a clinic account that is internet for them.
I love my ortho account but I have only two doctors and know sm
them like the back of my hand.
I have been at KS for about 8 months. The account was frustrating at first because the client has a lot of their own rules and they are very picky. Once I had them down, about a week and a half, I started to fly through the work. I love working with the ortho lead, Cheryl, too, so that makes it easier. She is one of those people that works so hard and is so nice that you want to make her happy.
I am also on the Scribe ortho account and love it...
the changes they made are wonderful...
I work on an ortho account. Keystrokes is just wonderful! They will help you in every way possible
and seem to really care about each person. They have been very good to me and I am very thankful to have a job with such a great company!
Keystrokes--Ortho account IC status. Anyone know what the pay is?? Thinking of applying. Thanks

Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
I lasted only a few months...
From my personal experience -The clients are horrible, ESLs are very high, no work, lack of respect and they never can seem to get your paycheck correct. Just knowing that they are up for sale was enough for me to look elsewhere.
i lasted 1 month...c msg
pay was pretty good at 8.5 cpl, and they do have some nice staff members.
BUT, horrible platform, heavy ESL doctors, and terrible english-speaking doctors. it was obvious that each QA member had their own preference, even going agaist global emails sent to the mts. a couple of us didnt like our trainer (it looked like we were talking about the same person who is supposedly gone now.
you'll find a lot on the archives.
I think I lasted a month.
nm
that's why i lasted only 1 month
/
2 esl, 1 neuro, all others were Taken. lasted a day.
nm
ex-WMX - I lasted there a year also
things were great, then after a year it all went to heck - maybe they do not want long-term MTs - they do that where my partner works, they even brag about it - just keep a huge turn-around of employees so they pay less benefits.
I do know there are people that have been there for years but perhaps you would have to be in from the beginning.
my experience was that they gave preference to MQ hires also...
I only lasted a week with OSi
I think they were totally unprofessional and very disorganized and there was not enough work. I quit almost 2 months ago and they called me this Saturday to see if I could put in some overtime.... nobody seems to talk to anybody else and communicate things. I went back to my old company and am much happier.
Would never have lasted 8 weeks
in these conditions. Have you asked management if the problems can be fixed? like asap?
yup, das y i quit--only lasted a month with them and i could see where it was going
j
im not too far, i lasted one month (suprising)
/
It lasted a little longer for me, but I'm ready to move on. -sm
Nice people. You really do feel appreciated for a while, but then I don't know if they think the average lifespan of an MT with any company is that short-lived or what, but they started giving my primary away to others, secondaries I would never get the same dictator twice unless it was a work type I hate and told them I hate, then I'd get them regularly. I don't get it. Feedback and evaluations are not in their vocabulary after you're out of probation. I think it's time to move on.
I hated Amphion, lasted 3 weeks
nm
They had great benefits and little work. I lasted three
nm
Been there. Honeymoon stage with eTrans lasted 1 week. Not there any more...nm
s
Yeah.. I second the motion. I lasted a day before I had a breakdown haha..
It was awful. Way too many screens to open up just to get going or do perform any task. That right there will always be their downfall. I'm sure if they had a better platform they would get a lot of better responses to job openings. JMO
My "lull" lasted about an hour. Now it's back on too much work!! (LOL)
nm
It has been a couple of years but I tried to work there and lasted 1 day and so did a friend of mine
The ESL were AWFUL.. It was all I got and I could not understand anything they said. They were out of California so had a real mixed bag of ESL but none of it was doable. Things could have changed, who knows.
Ask them to put you on the ortho

I got an E-mail the following morning after I sent my resume and then a phone call yesterday afternoon to setup a formal interview.
is it ortho? nm

I do Ortho...

Ortho with KS
What's the ortho like with KS? I've heard that the supervisor is very strict and makes it a difficult situation. Just wanted to check before applying. I am not looking for a job that will just be a lot of grief and torment.
Ortho help
 Although I have been doing transcription for quite some time, I am relatively new ot ortho. I must admit I do enjoy it; however, my productivity leaves a lot to be desired.
Each report is different. No Lungs are clear. Heart is regular, you get the drift.
Any ortho MTs out there with any suggesions?
Thank you (as always)!

Ortho
As with any new specialty, your line count is going to be down at first but with a little time and patience and good use of your expander, you'll see it go back up and will know most of the terms he's going to say before he actually says them.
Ortho
Thank you to everyone!
I am relativley new to this board.
I have posted several times in the past and am always astounded people take the time to help with their advice.
(Message n ot even on correct board..........oops)
Thanks again!

ortho
In ortho, there are a lot of two and three word combinations like tenderness to palpation and thoracic spine. I would abbreviate these things in my shorthand. Sentences that were repeated often, I would put the first letter of each word and put that sentence in my shorhand. I used ShortHand just as much in ortho as in HPs and consults.
were you in ortho?
I am and often do OT but I need/want the money so I volunteer.
That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
One of their ortho accounts (sm)
I spent more time going in and out of documents than I did transcribing on one of their ortho accounts. Nice people tho.
ortho or podiatry
Does any know of any company that is hiring for orthopedic or podiatry accounts?
I would like to do ortho work too
nm
I have almost 9 years of ortho and I
when they called. When I returned the call, I was told that We did have 3 openings when I called you but it's first come, first served and you missed out.
I was told that at 1 pm today and now I see they have a job posting for 12 ortho MTs.
On the ortho accounts, about how many SM
minutes per day do you get from your doctor(s)? After you get used to account specs, is it pretty easy to get the work done in 8 hours? Also, are there a lot of ESLs, because I'm terrible with ESLs. (Are they clinic notes, op notes, consults, or all of the above?)
About what time do you get your work and when is it due back?
Are the benefits okay? How much for medical and dental for employee only? When do they start?
Thanks for your help! :o)
KS wannabe
Ortho Pay Per Page
These were orthopedic doctors that I was charging $3.00 per page. Two types of notes. One was a progress note and the other new patient was in letter form. I typed them in Word, so I made templates. They usually put an entire day of patients on one tape. It was only a matter of choosing the appropriate template. My experience with ortho clinic is they are fairly short dictations. I'll put it to you this way if I had to choose it would be per page because the dictations are usually very short. Ortho docs see a lot of patients in one day and even if they are a new patient most will not go into a lot of detail regarding past medical history, etc. They mainly focus on symptoms, the exam, and then the diagnosis and treatment. Glad I could help. 
Considering Keystrokes...ortho
Any current information would be great! I am wondering about the work load, dictators and how steady the work is? TIA
Although I don't type ortho...
I am very satisfied with the amount of work. I have a secondary account, but my primary account provides more work than I can do in a day. The office staff is helpful. There are no ESL dictators on my primary account, and I never have to send work in with blanks. Again, I cannot comment on any specific ortho account, as I do not type ortho. Hopefully someone who does type ortho with Keystrokes can fill you in more in that regard.
Ortho acct
i have been offered ortho, which i have a great deal of experience. How much would you say per hour you make at 7.5 WI spaces. I really have a lot of quesstions and if possible would like to e-mail you direct. Also can the ShortHand program be used
The ortho manager IS the BEST!
Best manager (and company) I've worked for in over ten years.
