I am on a MiSys account. I have a few friends on RadNet and ExText accounts. All radiology. I think it is the same for Medical Records too.

I have multiple platforms
I have Emdat, ExText, and Bayscribe on my computer. No problems here. I think it just depends on your computer's processing speed and RAM
Multiple platforms
There are a few platforms depending on the account. However, of the accounts I've worked on, they all tap into your version of Word, so whatever Expander works there will work with TRX.
There are multiple platforms
The platform depends on the account. Every account has a different platform.
No ICs. Employees only. They use several platforms. I am on a Radnet account sm
one of my back-up accounts is Meditech Client and one is HBO.
Multiple systems, several platforms, they
furnish software for all.
Hmmm.must have missed that. I saw it on ALL accounts but for QA including the platforms that run out
of work constantly.
Radnet or Meditech Client or Novius. None of the others that I have
worked on are very productive. I work for Keystrokes on a Meditech account. I had heard that Meditech was horrible, but I am hitting 25 reports an hour!
Radnet - Is there an expander compatible with Radnet?
Just got a job. I have Instant Text which RadNet is not compatible with. MS Word is not able to be used either.
I am told that we are not allowed to C&P into the document.
Typing every word out seems to me to be out of the question if I am paid on production (8 cpl w/spaces and no benefits) as I have quota to meet and this is radiology (redundant sentences used often).
Wish I would have been told this initially...
Thanks!
I am including all insurance deductions including nm

There are two types of Meditech. One is Meditech Magic, which has a blue sm
screen and is like WP5.1. It is a bit cumbersome but not bad once you get used to it.
The other is Meditech Client, which is WONDERFUL. It opens into Word and populates the demographics for you.
Neither are bad once you get used to them. I make great money using Magic and a lot of others complain about it.
Star Team
Well, if you like working on multiple accounts with horrible dictators, follow the BOS, plus Transolutions BOS on top of that and working on a computer system from back in the 80s, then it will be a good job for you!!
RE: STAR Team
The STAR team is a group of MTs that basically agree to work on any account they are needed on at the time and they get paid an hourly wage plus I believe extra if they type more than a certain number of lines. Basically, you don't have a primary or secondary account. You work whereever you are needed at that time.
Gold star for you.
My pay was constantly screwed up, constant IMs, they didn't tell anyone I quit and I got IMs/emails demanding I log in for my shift, the owner is unpleasant to say the least although she does put on a good I'm your friend, we're a team show. The insurance as an employee is extremely expensive. As an IC there you also have a set schedule. Hence, not really IC.
wolf star
I have not worked for them personally but I have nothing but bad things like recently no one getting paid on time b/c something happened to the owners account. Also I heard that one of the radiology accounts were just nothing but 10 minute reports back to back. But again that is just hear say.
Wolf Star--saw they have another ad on the job --sm
seekers board. Anyone have any info about them? Seem to post ad pretty frequently.
Transolutions STAR team
I'm consider a position a position with Transolutions on their STAR team. Could anyone give me any information on their STAR team - is it easy to make line rate, how bad are the dictators, et cetera? Feel free me to email me offline if you would like. Thanks.
(Your star employee, I mean - not the above poster!) nm

Transolutions MTs, what is the STAR team? SM
I was recently at their website and saw STAR team, is that like QA? Thanks.
What? You become a famous movie star?

Yep, elite and STAR=CRAP ACCOUNT-nm

I'm a current STAR Team member
I love being on the STAR team. Even after 17 years of transcribing, I learn so much every day. My work is certainly not the worst of the worst. The team basically does short TAT dictations across several hospitals. As I always say, you get back what you are willing to put into it. I feel honored to be a part of this team. We have an awesome supervisor too I might say. This is definitely a challenging position, but not just all the ESLs or hard work types. Pretty much the jobs that have a short TAT are filtered into our job queue.
Must be a cloud overhead because the STAR is not SHINING!

I just noticed the Transolutions ad on the JS Board. Is their STAR team the same the BEST sm
team at Keystrokes? I know that Keystrokes has had this in place for a while but it is promote from within. Can you hire on at Transolutions for the STAR openings?
Has anyone worked as a Transolutions STAR MT? I thought they paid low but the ad says differently. Looking for current information as I did not make the Keystrokes BEST team.
RadNet does not come up on my
section to link it. Everything else is listed there but Radnet?
RadNet
RadNet looks complicated, but it really is a pretty simple program and you will catch on by the end of your first day of training. I found it to be better than most programs I have learned. Don't worry, not as complicated as you think. Good Luck.

re: Radnet
I average 20-25 reports an hour on Radnet. It is fast, so there is no hang time like in Meditech or ChartScript. It is easy to learn and easy to use. I love it!
RadNet
The company I work for has just switched over the RadNet for radiology TX. I can't get a straight answer out of the software company (Cerner), so am hoping someone out there can give me an answer. #1 - there is no shortcut program! I can't get Cerner to tell me which, if any, shortcut programs might work with it; the several I have tried only seem to work with word processing programs. #2 - they tell me that for some reason it's okay to cut and paste from Notepad (where I can use a shortcut program), but not from Word, that it may not count my characters appropriately. Anybody know about any of this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to use shortcuts AND count my lines from within the application, or at least from within one application that I can cut and paste from! I'm really discouraged by this software ... it is slowing me down tremendously.
RE: RadNet
With RadNet, it has a shortcut program associated with it by hitting F9 which will bring up your phrase and insert.
RadNet
Cerner told me that cutting and pasting from Word could cause 'formatting' issues which may affect productivity statistics. I find that kind of hard to believe, because they said it would be okay to cut and paste from Notepad! I think it's a very user-unfriendly program, but am going to keep searching for a shortcut program, or perhaps just try cutting and pasting from Word for a day and see what happens!
RadNet
I use RadNet and Instant Text but I had to upgrade to the newer version V. I copied all the reports for one day to Word and ran count of characters in Word and it matched RadNet's character count. My only problem with Instant Text and RadNet is the window to type in is smaller with IT located at the bottom of the screen.
RadNet
Used RadNet for years and ShortHand definitely works
radnet
OMG that is what is happening.... Acct gone and she went on vac and didnt bother to tell us...yea you know she knew. We asked yesterday what happened in mtg with client and she said she was too busy getting ready for vac to go to it.....nice very nice. Pretty darn sad had to find out thru this board. Thanks for sharing, better than the company did.
Very little PTO and it is to be used for everything, including
sick days, vacation days, holidays -- really stinks !
The account that I am on uses Radnet. I know that there are a sm
few that use Meditech (both old and new versions) but most are RadNet or HBO Star.
Radnet at Keystrokes
How do you like it? Is it easy to use? How is it for production?
RadNet transcription
My understanding is that Shortcuts will not work with RadNet if you are typing directly on that platform. At least that is what we are told by Cerner and one of our sister hospitals who have already gone live. Lucky for us, we will be typing in EXText where we can still use Shortcuts and it will then upload. Sorry it isn't more positive news.
RadNet & Word
Thanks for letting me know about the trial w/Word and characters. We can't even track our productivity through RadNet or through the service I work for. So I have been cutting and pasting into Word and counting lines that way, which is yet another time-waster!
radnet expander
Does anyone know how to add words/phases to Radnet? I know how to retrieve using F9, but no one seems to know how to add. Thanks.
The account I am on uses Radnet. nm

radnet/enterprise
I worked for Webmedx for about 15 months. They pay by line and the account I worked on used RadNet but we used enterprise for the voice files. It was a lot of switching back and forth between programs though I got pretty fast with the quick keys. Actually, they couldn't count lines in Radnet so it was by minutes, now that I think about it. I had to quit the job because I spent most nights refreshing and waiting for work that never came. I just started a new job, no radiology involved but still I'm liking it much more. There was talk about going to VR with PowerScribe and I didn't look forward to that because I worked with it in the past. I have to say, I don't like editing VR at all. I can see how the docs would want to edit their own but some the VR transcribed so poorly it would be like them typing the whole thing for themselves which I could never seeing the docs doing...lol.
I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, but
They pay 0.05 for weekends and another 0.05 for over 16,000 lines per pay period. If you keep your 11,000 lines per pay period you get almost 4 hours of PTO per pay period, which is about 10 days a year. No holiday pay, but usually offer a bonus if you work one. $40.00 internet reimbursement a month. The insurance costs me just under 100.00 a pay period for myself only, no family, but I think that depends on where you live.
Can't think of anything else, but they are good to work for...kind and honest.
I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, plus
for over 16,000 per pay period, which is relatively easy to get. I've got a great account though. I know some places may pay more, but we get what we are promised, on time, plus PTO and insurance if you need it, not free of course, but pretty resonable. An IC can make more per line, but end up losing becuase of the additional SS taxes and absolutely no benefits. I love TT and thank God every day for my job.
No it is everything including interventional
mammos, CTs, MRIs, PETs, etc. The docs are very good and the system is very easy -IDX. Guess I should just stay where I'm at.
9 cpl including spaces
..
I don't believe you get benefits including PTO unless
you maintain 5500 transcribed lines per week or 11,000 edited lines per week, or an average of the two. At least that is what my paperwork says.
How hard is RadNet to learn/use?
Is the platform MT friendly, I guess is what I'm asking? Do you like it? Is it word-based? What expanders work with it? Any information you can give. TIA!
Have you linked it to RadNet? It should work
Are you kidding? I hated RadNet!
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Radnet issues intolerable
I am on RadNet and things have been horrible for the last 2 weeks. I've been bouncing back and forth between our help desk and their help desk like a ping pong ball. Unpaid, of course. I was unpaid Monday and Tuesday, yet my supervisor requested I stay chained to the computer and keep checking it over and over to see if it worked yet. When it finally did, my Comcast went down!
Last night, with the system finally working, the client's help desk called to see how it was doing, then proceed to tell me they have no clue how it got fixed, it seems to have miraculously fixed itself, so if there are more problems in the future they won't know how to fix them.
I was able to work last night, but then there was no work to type! Three days left in the work week...today and tomorrow are my scheduled days off, I am 12 hours in the hole so I'll try to make it up IF there's any work. I haven't had an actualy day off where I didn't have to fire up my computer and deal with technical issues since September 7th!
I am really hoping this is just a bad spell, because if it continues like this I'm not going to be able to stand it.
