Anyone with eMTS who can comment on the software they use, CareFlow? Thx. nm

eMTS uses several different software programs depending on the client, including CareFlow and

All I know is that they use Cquence software. That's why I was wondering how it is to use. nm
s
Not at all. I have 3 different types of software and
all three use a wave pedal. Two of them use USB and the other a 15-pin, and there is no conflict in the programming of each one.
Careflow, web based.

CTS = CareFlow Transcription Suite nm

That's what a contact told me about using CareFlow. Don't know about SoftMed or anything else

Cquence
When I worked somewhere else we started using Reflections and it was so much faster and easier to type in. The system I am using is hard to type in just like the other that is why I wanted a terminal Emulator so that I could use it on my computer with the cable Any suggestions? Thanks for your reply
Cquence MT
Help me please has anyone every heard of Cquence MT or commonly called CMT . I am looking for a terminal emulator such as reflections,etc. that is compatible with this program. Thanks so much, Mamma J.
Do you mean Cquence?
If you do, it is really bad news. Very outdated.
Cquence
Oh no really?? Great, back to the drawing board then. Tell me more about it please??
Cquence
No, Cquence is not easy to work with. Not only is it not user friendly, but you cannot view past reports.

Anyone have Cquence experience?
Any information good or bad would be helpful...
TIA
My third week on Cquence...sm
And at first it was just arrghhh! But now I've got my routine down pat with it and my production the last few days has been very good. The line counts are true, in my account I am also getting paid for headers and footers, so I have no complaints.
For me there is ALWAYS a learning curve with a new platform. And yes, I think some platforms are quicker to handle than others ... I also think everyone's experience may be different, so I would encourage you to keep an open mind. It is turning out good for me after a few weeks. You can e-mail me if you have any other questions. 
Cquence platform
Can anyone tell me if the Cquence platform is easy to work with and get lines relatively easy. Thanks
CMT is part of Lanier's Cquence
on-line program part, as far as I know. There are 2 parts to it, the Next Wave Player and CMT. Cquence is the name of the entire program. What is it you want to do with it? Why an emulator?
I used Cquence for a couple years
I thought it was a pain in the rear.
Currently with eMTS, use Cquence and ChartScript.
.
I should have been more specific; e-MTS Cquence platform does NOT pay for spaces (sm)
only black characters
Cquence is a Lanier system.It was okay but clumsy.
nm
Any e-MTS MTs out there on Cquence platform that does not pay spaces? have question (sm)
How does your lines per hour being paid for ''no spaces'' add up compared to your previous experience being paid ''with spaces?'' How many lines less per hour do you type roughly? I am very leary about not being paid for spaces. Thanks
MedRite XL, Cquence, and Winscribe are a few I've noted. nm
s
Cquence pay is 65-character with NO spaces, only black characters which equates to
approximately 1.5 to 2 cents per line less than 65-character with spaces.
work types
Hello,
I had consults, H&P, discharge summary, a few OP notes here and there, basically in all specialities, cardiology, neuro, GI, Ortho, OB/GYN, psych, etc.
One of the things I can tell you for sure that I didn't do was radiology.
HTH, any other questions just let me know!
Work types are
discharge summaries, op notes, history and physicals, ER notes, consultations, clinic notes, etc.
Asking these types of questions will not help you
You sound like you have an ask to grind. If I were to ask these questions, I would appear unprofessional and I think we have enough of that in this industry. You should be giving yourself the warning about being careful what you post.
Work Types
Is it just me or does there seem to be a trend of work assigning lately. I type fairly fast and I find myself getting bottom of the barrel scraps lately.
re work types
it is my understanding they have clinic work as well, but i am doing acute care.
I CAN do the other work types. Not much
experience with caths or sleep studies, but can do the basic 4 without any problem. I can do the worst of the ESLs with rarely any problems, but I sure don't want to do them all day, no matter how much they pay me.
I'm hoping things settle down. I don't plan on changing jobs, but didn't plan on changing to this one either but I didn't have a choice. I'm seriously looking to get out of the MT business, but still be at home.
Thanks. Are there certain work types that seem to need help and how are the
accounts that they have and the system they use.
Do you do all work types?

Can you request certain job types...sm
Do they let you request certain job types?
My favorite type of job is operative notes and I would be more than happy to take them off everyone's hands. My ideal day would be operative notes (with an occasional psych eval and ER note mixed in). I dream of the days when I could work without a set schedule on the work types that I liked on ONE account. Those were the days.
I'm been with MQ for almost 10 years and right now I'm in the cesspool of 25+ different hospitals; never having the same doctor; I just talked to my supervisor on the phone for the first time ever last week (and she's been my supervisor for 8 months now); haven't had a raise in 5 years despite asking every year. I've stuck it out for the last 3 years being unhappy because I felt fortunate to be able to work from home. I finally got mad enough this past week that I put my resume out and now I have 3 different companies to interview with in 2 days.
Do you do all work types? sm
I haven't had any problems running out of work. I have heard from others who only do clinic, or who don't do op notes. But everyone I have talked to who do all the work types have had no problem.
As for the ESLs, unfortunately, you can't escape them anywhere. You just have to learn to deal with them. They actually do get easier the more you do them. Not my preference, but hey, I've got a job, an income. I'm happy. :-)
Types of companies
I am fairly new in the MT business, so I don't know a lot about the different types of work situations.
It is my understanding that some companies don't have scheduled shifts but just require a certain amount of lines typed per day. Is that correct? If so, does that also mean it does not matter how many hours it takes (so if having a slow day can take 9 hours ... or a fast day can to it in 6)?
That sounds like a good set up, so one could work around other events and such. If that is correct, are there very many companies who offer this? 
WHAT ABOUT WORK TYPES, 99% ESL OR WHAT? ..
It's easy to get your lines as long as the work is there and you get a halfway decent work type, but if no one can understand the crap that's put out (call it 'work pool' set my managers)--- what difference does it make if they DO have work? They can have all the work they want - but if you have to put in 18 hours to get 8 hours worth of required lines , well, big deal if they do have work!
I'm so sorry for you all. We've gone through these types
of things at MQ (I've found a glass or 3 of wine helps), but I'm finally quitting to find a better company. These greedy corporations can kiss my..... Good luck to you all, my fellow MTs. Hope you can make enough to survive on or find a better company out there.
Could you do all work types, or were you limited?nm
nm
Not here. You get your work types and accounts first.
x
I don't do these types of reports for anything under $1.00 per minute.
p
If QA types they have nothing to gain by cherrypicking
This is true for any company. I used to type as well as do QA. I never skipped -bad- jobs because they would end up in QA anyway because the other MTs couldn't do them. Believe me, QA does not love a bunch of reports in QA because it clogs up the system. So I did them no matter how hard they were. I have never worked for Transtech but speaking from experience I can't imagine why a QA at any company would cherrypick jobs only to be stuck with them later in QA.
New work types are being added to ML
.
Maybe they are referring to other work types
H&Ps and consults are still H&Ps and consults wherever you go. As you know, each facility will have specs, any differences (should there be any) would be listed there. The company you were talking to might have been referring to OPs, cardio and specialty procedures more so than the basics. Just an idea. I would not let that company get you down. With that much experience, you'll get a job easily enough. Good luck to you. God Bless.
Lots of different work types

Nah, my dad was teaching me a lesson. You know one of those types.
I have learned young how to survive. This may also include having to deal with parents/boss who give you what they think you deserve and in some cases not much. One thing I did learn though in life you may not be able to depend on others, but you need to learn to depend on yourself.
Amen to that. The only management types

I wouldn't do it. One of each basic 4 types or a few clinic

When I was hired, they asked me what work types I liked from sm
best to worst. I have progress notes last. I hate them but get a few every day-type them anyway. Wish I got more op notes but H&Ps and consults keep me real busy.
