platform.  I understand they have about 4 different platforms.  I would be interested in the proprietary internet platform that uses MS Word.  Is it user friendly and productive, can you see your line counts immediately, what type of short cut Expander is used, and the type of voice player to download jobs?

Thanks

resource site?  TIA.

Working at Spheris CAN be okay, it honestly depends on who your boss is.  On some divisions, MTs have to back into up to 10 accounts, while on other divisions, they might only really have to work in 2-3.  I do have to say, though, that Spheris has gotten so big that it almost seems like you are just another number and that you don't matter to them.  I worked for quite a few years there and left on good terms, but I don't think I would want to go back to them with the way things are now.  You, however, might like working there.  If you do go to work at Spheris, please just go in with your eyes wide open and don't let them jack you around.

I worked for Spheris for a number of years.  I'm going to try to give you some positives, as I agree with you, that there is enough negative stuff on this board.....How successful you will be will depend upon what account(s) you are placed on, what platform you work on (they have several different ones), your supervisor, and of course your skill level.  It is possible to do good and make a decent living and be happy with this company, as with all companies, but I know that your success will depend on a lot of factors, many of which are out of your control, unfortunately (meaning, the  platform and account).

Be positive and treat each day as a new day.  Good luck to you!

They made the Inc. 500 list of the Fastest Growing Companies In The US for 2005. THAT'S something positive for ya!

format you are most productive with.  You run a micro that pulls up the header, type in patient's name and it puts it in the correct place in the header.  Occasionally doctors enter wrong work type and you will need to change that in the header.  If you need to do a CC, you run a macro and the list of docs comes up, you highlight the doc and enter and info goes where it needs to.   When new doctors are added you do have to add those into the system.  You may go months and not get any new doctors and then get 30 one month,  It is very easy to add them in.   Unfortunately PAs are not in the system so until you get familiar with them you have to look them up.

You do spellcheck, run a macro for line count, run a macro to send the work - EASY.  

Company is QT Medical and they are hiring.  There have been a couple of posts about them this week.  Good company. 

I have more than 25 years in this business, and I have always just steered clear of this company, but I either need to change who I work for or I need to supplement. 

I see they have production incentives, which I like.  I'm guessing you all like their system, if you are happy there.  How about their benefits - are they affordable?  Do you think their base pay is fair?  Are they flexible at all when it comes to you working your hours?  Are you happy with your account(s)?  Thanks for any specific info!
