The current Emdat platform is great
Posted By: but correct me if I'm wrong on 2009-08-29
In Reply to: I've used EMDAT before and don't like it. - Wilder
and nothing like the previous poster wrote about. It is up to each client how much or how little information is plugged into the demographics and how much must be manually entered. The ONLY things I have to enter for three clients are: Patient name (if not only entered, say for a future admission), MR# if not provided, doctor name, chose the right template for the work type, and any CCs to send. None of those functions require the convulted hoops mentioned elsewhere.
I am making more money with Emdat than I do using Bayscribe, and I use the same ShortHand dictionaries with both. I would recommend Emdat to anyone interested.

What platform do they use..Emdat?
TIA
How is the EMDAT platform? sm
Possibly as compared to Netcare? Thanks so much for your help!
ATS, Inc and EMDAT platform sm
Does anyone work for ATS, Inc? How are they to work for? How is the EMDAT platform, is it really complicated?
EMDAT platform
Can someone tell me about this platform? How it works? Is it user friendly? Sound quality? Anything you can share would be good. I have an offer to work on this platform and need to know more about it before accepting.
TIA
Platform is Emdat, and the pay is low.

pay is on time, Emdat platform used to be sm
buggier than all get out according to friend who used it but don't know if it's fixed - her pay got cut about 30% when she went to Emdat because it's set up to benefit the MTSO (normals, headers, etc.). She ended up dropping it after it crashed her computer. Also use Transnet/Dictaphone platform - they take $10 out of your invoice for rental but you are responsible for fixing the footpedal, etc., if it breaks (which doesn't quite fit the rental concept nor the IC concept). They change their policies about every other month so you just have to go with the flow and whatever the QA person du jour says (lots of changes there too). If you get a great dictator you'll have it made - just do your work and ignore the occasional e-mails complaining about late TAT, AAMT standards, etc. which only seems to apply to a few MTs but gets broadcast to everyone (really ticks off some of the MTs who get their stuff done on time, etc.). Judging by what gets posted here, it's a better MTSO than most - just be sure you are happy with your account and platform.
they use Emdat platform a lot, which a lot of people

Lee Perfect and EMDAT platform
Considering this company. Anybody with any recent personal experience with the company and the EMDAT platform. I started the on-line training for EMDAT. Not sure what to make of it. Is it hard to make lines? Any info would be great! Thanks.
Can someone tell me pros and cons of the EMDAT platform?

I used Emdat for 9 months and do not agree that it is that great.
It is great for the company and the doctor. Generally the doctors are not expected to supply the information or even use their designated recorder which causes the Transcriptionist to change and fix the demographics. The spell checker is the worst and I ALWAYS copied my finished document into MS Word to check for errors. You CANNOT copy back into Emdat from Word.
It is slow and boggy. The F1 function is way over rated. There are good points if the doctor actually does his part at his end. Just my opinion.......
Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

Any current info on SmartMed? I saw something about the platform not being sm
user friendly, but otherwise not too much. Their pay scale seems to be good, but she did say it is for a teaching hospital, so that probably means 95% ESLs. Anyway, any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
WordZxpressed out of GA, anyone with any current information as far as platform, pay, benefits etc..
Thanks..
I am a current Transcend employee and think they are great.
Any new job takes time to learn. Give it a little while longer and see how it goes, check in with your Team Leader, they can really help you.
Good Luck.
Current information on WordZXpressed, how they are to work for, accounts, platform etc.. anyone??
Thanks for any input you may have.
Still not great PTO for first year. I get 12 days at current company. NM

I actually think DQS is a great platform, used by
Can't remember the third one. I have worked on several different platforms and I think DQS is really easy once you get the hang of it, convenient with the ability to pull doctor's names into the report from the database, the ability to leave blanks and at the end let the audio jump immediately back to where the blanks are. Other great features, too.
Platform is great, but (sm)
do read the contract carefully and know exactly what you'll be paid for when you *negotiate* your pay rate.
They have a great platform, but
line rates are not that great, so the below poster is right, negotiate for the best line rate you can get. It takes longer to get your lines in when you are not paid for spaces, but if you can use your Expander a lot, that will help. I am happy at Cymed.
It is a great platform.
Is a great platform. SM
Where ever you heard this from is wrong. Line counts are accurate.
Great platform
Take the time and learn every little trick and tip, when you go into your line count screen (alt x) you can just click on the shortcuts you are not using enough to make you more productive and it gives you a great tutorial on how to implement them, it took me a few weeks but then it all became natural and I'm doing an average of 600-800 lph depending on the dictators.
My platform is so great can just
sit here and let the pedal go, like taking candy from a baby, unbelievably easy. I make 98-99% every 3 months on QA so I guess mine is just as good if not better than most here. Management not complaining at all.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm

Platform great...promises not met
I disagree..The platform EXText is great and I do it for another company now. However, promises were not met as I referred 2 MTs to Medware and did not receive referral money promised by the recruiter. Also, too many accounts to have to switch from one to another because there is never enough work, as I stated in my last post. I would not recommend MedWare. Good luck to you in your search. :)
Great people..AWFUL platform!!!nm
s
They use Dictaphone ExText. It's a really great platform.

You know MQ has a great platform. How does KS compare for ease? nm
Great platform, horrible company
NM
Staff is great-no work and too many platform issues.
nm
Webmedex is a great company but their platform is terrible.
That is the reason I left. Too many screens to enter simple imformation and too slow switching between screens. Platform is such a big part of our production.
I did QA, didn't find their platform great. I've seen
a recent post where they pay 8 cpl. Sound quality and dictators horrible and no way is 8 cpl enough. They have constant tunover.
Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Good luck on whatever you decide. 
Yes, had that same problem. Acct was great, but platform sucked.nm

Transhealth is very organized, great benefits..horrible platform
Maybe it was just me but i never made it through training. It certainly could have been a lot easier than having to open up 3-4 programs to get going. I found it to be time-consuming and in a production-based atmosphere, this did not cut it. On the other hand, maybe others think the program is wonderful, but I sure did not. I have used Dictaphone EXText and that is way easier.
The fact is, if you think the sound quality and platform at Transcend are great, you have not had
many other experiences with "sophisticated" equipment or companies. Heavens, their idea of big cutting-edge technology is being able to have a drop down list to pick from dictators, though that was an incomplete mess. Defend it all you want, but they are not cutting edge at all. Definitely a step back in time for lots of us, and who wants to move backwards, slower platforms, working off paper lists, manually filling in demos, and horrible sound quality, for LESS money? No thanks!
No complaints at all. Platform is super MT friendly. Great QA department.
Very happy at Medware.
great friendly people, IC work, pay so-so (9-1/2 cpl), clumsy platform. nm
x
I work on a great platform, have good QA support and make
a lot more than 8 cpl. I even have GREAT benefits, which are more than affordable. There are good companies out there that pays for experience!!!!
I currently work at JLG and love it. Great, user friendly platform.
They leave you alone to type. Pay on time, never late. Pretty well organized and good communication. And they do not offshore! I be sticking around. 
I love it here; easy platform, plenty of work, great communication
@@@
Hired by Emdat or using Emdat software?
I was of the impression that Emdat was software, not a transcription company. Were you hired by Emdat to do transcription for Emdat customers? Or is the company for whom you work just using the Emdat software? Thank you.
Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
I finally found a home.
Easy platform, assigned accounts, always plenty of work. Great OM and boss. nm
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL
On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly - its a nightmare to work in.
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Oracle is great. Bayscribe is wonderful great line counts.
The trainer at OTI will always answer any questions about the platform and if you have any problems they have already worked them out, so just ask. Good luck!
