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 would like to do ortho work too
nm
I work ortho too...................
I LOVE working at KS. The supervisor is great. She is always available to answer questions/concerns. She needs to be strict w/TAT to make sure the clients are happy. If you have no problem meeting deadlines then I say go for it and apply.
love ortho work
Me too! I am looking for only orthopedic transcription work!
I work Ortho and love it!!!
I always have more than enough work, pay on time, lead is wonderful....very few ESLs....my work is assigned, not pooled, so that helps not having to fight others for work...
Ortho MTs? Can I ask which platform you work on and is it productive??
Thanks..
I work on the ortho accounts and love it...
I wouldn't necessarily say she is strict, but she wants people to do their job...same as any other supervisor...I love it and my leads/supervisor are fantastic!!!!
GIMT is hiring - Ortho and Onc clinic work - sm

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!
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!
Did anyone call about the STAT ortho work on the job board? Thanks. (nm)

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.
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 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.
Ortho Accounts???
Any experience with their ortho accounts? Is it easy to make lines or do you have to fill in a lot of demo info? 
Ortho transcription
Did someone really advertise 6.5 cpl with experience. UNBELIEVABLE!! That is less than I made when I started 23 years ago.
ortho at DocuMed and pay
Can anyone tell me anything about about the ortho positions at DocuMed and how their pay is? Do they pay on time? Direct deposit? Help if needed?
This is what I have on DocuMed ortho.
Resume sent (date). Test sent to me (date). Test was too long. Never apply again. This lady wants to call my account contacts and sends an old e-mail from back in February 2007 for testing. Dictators are horrible. Hope this helps some. Pay on ad was 9 cpl.
Why Ortho Words?? sm
I most times start with Google and then make sure it is spelled correctly by looking it up in the medical dictionary. I also use a Word Book that just gives medical words but no definitions. That helps to narrow things down sometimes too.
I'm wondering why the above poster said to get Ortho Words. Is that a must for all types of specialties in your opinion? I don't have one but would get one if it is helpful. I do Radiology so you would think that would be good for me anyway. Think I'm going to go to Amazon.com right now and order one.
Did anyone apply to Ortho MT/Wk at hm...
on job seeker's board? I am just curious as to if anyone did and what the feedback has been like thus far and/or what anyone knows about who this company/person is. You can e-mail me if you'd like - it seems all good but I like to try to confirm if possible before jumping in. 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.
I have been with them over 2 years as well on ortho...
I use Scribe, which is a word-based platform...very user friendly.
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.
Update. All tests taken are for ortho. All who have taken and
passed have been offered a job and either have started or declined. There is no one who has taken the test prior to 3 days ago that has not heard back and had resolution. One person does the hiring for Keystrokes and this person has never told someone that they are too busy to respond or always on their phone or that they get 150 emails a day. Hiring is priority as we have added at least one account per week for the past four months and anticipate this year following the same pattern.
No, I do not work in the office either, but that is irrelevant. I went to the source and called HR and asked her. This was concerning to me as the account I am in charge in is expanding, and I need four more MTs to run it. She assured me that this is absolutely not true and everyone has been contacted.
Ortho yes, sorry but took the test more than 3 days ago and
YES, I was told they get 150 emails a day and to be patient... she DID call and did tell me not to call back because she is impossible to get on the phone and is on the phone all day. Why would I make that UP?
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.
Tests are only on ortho accounts. nm

How do you like working for them on the ortho accounts. How is the pay etc..
nm
Anyone hear from WordZXpressed ortho ad? nm
;=)
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.
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.
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...
