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!

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.
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 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.
Considering Keystrokes...ortho
Any current information would be great! I am wondering about the work load, dictators and how steady the work is? TIA
Keystrokes Ortho pay
I was just wondering if anyone who works on ortho for KS would be willing to share what their average pay/production is. I just got hired and am very excited but also worried because the line rate is a lot lower than what I'm used to. I've been doing acute care with high ESL for the last 11 years, so I'm hoping that the ease of the clinic work will make up for the low line rate. I'm, going to be working in ExText. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
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.
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 lasted one job on their ortho account
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.
Keystrokes structures it like this for ortho
The Keystrokes manager who handles the ortho department structures it where you are assigned your own physicians. You have 24 hours to have the work done. You must pass a test though, but it is not a hard one.
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 agree 100%...I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years doing Ortho
and I love it...best company I have worked for...
Try applying to Keystrokes...I do ortho for them and I love it...
nm
Keystrokes does. I have worked on ortho only for them for 2 years. sm
I have my own docs and my supervisor is great. She leaves me alone to do my work and as long as I do it well and on time, she leaves me alone. I prefer this, so it is a great job for me. I average 14,000 lines a pay period and make 0.09 per line. I do use their insurance, which costs me $204 per month, but it's only me. So far, so good with the new insurance!
I'm not sure if they are hiring but it would be worth trying.
Just curious. What program does Keystrokes use on the ortho accounts?
:-)
Over 9 years ortho experience and not even a callback from Keystrokes..
I can assume that they were swamped with applications or maybe I was just not want they were looking for. Oh well....other ortho accounts out there. I have enough acute care that I should find something.
Keystrokes Ortho MTs--What is your production like in terms of lph etc.. on their system?
Just wondering how easy it was to make a good decent living on their Ortho accounts. Thinking of applying.
Try Keystrokes for ortho. Lots of work. The lead is the best I have ever had. sm
I have two doctors that I am responsible for and love having them assigned because I know what they are going to say before they say it. She is a stickler for reliability and quality, but if you are a good MT, you will love it!
the account I'm going to be on with Keystrokes...sm
will pay by the line at 8.5 cpl. I will need to make 1200 lines/day. Good luck to me huh?
Keystrokes ER account
Anyone out there who works on a newer ER account that is on ExText platform? At first we were on just one site and after we caught that up, we were placed on another site and told they were going to change us each week between the two. After about 3 weeks, the hospital sent KS an e-mail stating they did not have enough work for all of us and that a meeting would be held on Monday to find out what they were going to do. It wasn't until Monday afternoon that we were told we could work again. Is this a normal thing to happen for KS? By the way, we were never switched over to the first site which is a great account but have been left on the second site, which is not a great account. Do any of you know if this account is only an overflow account? It sure seems like that to me. Also do any of you have problems understanding some of the dictators, or is it just me? I would love to hear from any and all who would care to share their opinion about this. Thank you.
What platform is Keystrokes ER account?
nm
Keystrokes Docuscribe Account
Did anyone out there get hired a few weeks ago by KS for a new account that is on the Docuscribe platform (the same one that MQ uses)? If so, how do you like that platform and how is the account? I am very curious about this because it stated in the ad that they will be putting a lot of new accounts on that platform in the coming year. Please share your experience thus far. Thanks a bunch.
Keystrokes New Docuscribe Account
I asked this question last week and would like to check regarding if transcriptionists who were hired for this account feel any better about it yet? Last week there were a lot of negative posts stating too many ESL dictators that were very difficult and they were not able to produce a good line count. Has it improved any for you? Also, how do you like the Docuscribe platform?
Well then Keystrokes is getting some of MQ's account then. Won't be midsized for long.

Add Keystrokes to the list. I have an account with ExText. nm

how is PT account with Keystrokes? Thinking of applying..sm
I have many years of ortho, PT, and PM&R experience. Just curious in regard to KS's PT accounts... the number of dictators you are assigned and length of reports..are primary accounts available?? Thanks for any information.
Keystrokes occupational health account.
Anybody currently working on this account? Care to share your thoughts... Are there lots of ESLs? Any other comments are appreciated.
Keystrokes does not overhire. There has been so much work on my account sm
that they are begging for overtime (and paying 1-1/2 times normal rate for it which is better than other companies that I have worked for!). One thing that no one can say about Keystrokes is that they overhire. They make sure we all have enough work before hiring more on an account. Yes, I have talked the owner about it so I got that information direct.
Also, I think the above poster is right. I think Becky is one of the owner's right-hand persons, her and Karen both. They are both very helpful, as is Jen who answers the phones and a few others.
They could get rid of the IS manager and a lot of us would have a party. She is horrible to deal with but I think is related to Lee or Jeff because she has been there a long time!
Does anyone know if Keystrokes has a neurology account? I just wandered about this.
Thanks
I am on a Lanier by the line rad account with Keystrokes. sm
I love the account and using a Lanier, even though I know it is old-fashioned. I also have an account with them that is by the line but uses a wav pedal, and even though I am on that account less often, it has a lot of work.
am on a Lanier by the line rad account with Keystrokes. sm
really? by the line?? is it more than 6.5? i may have to apply with them
I work on a Meditech account (not with Keystrokes)
and they have also prohibited cutting and pasting. Just because it looks okay on your screen doesn't mean it comes out okay on their end, I guess.
Keystrokes just got an account with DocQScribe that starts in a few weeks. sm
I am set to apply there as the company I work for lost it to them. My supervisor was upset because she really tried to fix it but her boss did not care. So I am going to try to follow the account to keystrokes.
I just started with Keystrokes full time and am on a Meditech account. sm
I would not call it my favorite platform by any means -- I think it is rather slow and cumbersome -- but with the addition of ShortHand and getting used to how things are done, I am picking up speed and hope to be at my normal level soon. One of the pluses to Meditech is that you can access the patient's chart and see other reports dictated, plus lab reports, x-rays, etc.
Ask them to put you on the 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?
