Our company is having difficulty getting our reports we transcribe in microsoft word and send by internet to the company -- put into any digital chart they are trying to create ----- to meet the mandate coming up in about 2010.

They are caving to the idea that all transcription MUST be done by voice recognition in order for everything to MESH -- if you get my drift.

I can't believe that it is necessary to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Also, I have never seen a doctor's pay be the same as an MT - and thus wouldn't their time be better spent generating income than doing clerical work?    but then what do I know -- I'm ONLY an MT.  grrr

anyway, has anybody worked through this conundrum and been able to find a program to transcribe on that is compatible with any type of EMR (electronic medical record) program - which I personally thing EMR stinks and should be burned in the pit.

There must be programs that are compatible that allow transcription to still be done (we are the last stopgap measure against errors that happen - we do much more than just type -- do they know this?) and still allow doctors to sputter out their hurridly done dictations as they scurry about -- leaving them available to actually see patients rather than sitting there doing corrections.

Thanks for any help you all.

send email or answer here -- either would be totally appreciated. 

Someone in india types them and sends them to MW, where an Editor does a 100% review, and if there are still blanks, it goes to another level of MW editor. You've just paid 1 Transcriptionist and 2 editors for what 1 U.S. transcriptionist could do. I don't understand the benefit, either. 

I think a bigger reason for the cut in editor pay was due to too many editors doing too little work. When you work from home at an hourly wage, it's really easy to slack off, take way too long looking up a word, doing other things other than working, and chatting on team mail. I don't blame them for going to a per-line rate, though it is insultingly low.

Anyone have any good information about these two companies?  Thinking of applying.  What type of platform do they use? 

Thanks

mentioned tons of bad ESLs and not enough work -- not too encouraging.  Perhaps that has changed?  Anyone working for them currently or know anything new?
