Internet - kind of a DQS-like program. Great company. nm

Can anyone tell me who a really good SE company is that is solely internet based and are nice to
work for with decent accounts. Thanks much.
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm

only want internet based too. nm

Internet based companies?
I'm probably grasping at straws here, but can anyone suggest any really good companies that are hiring for internet based work?  IC or employee, it doesn't matter!  I'm currently working with DVI and not really happy with it.  I would much rather stick with the internet based companies. 
I use DVI and am internet-based. Look on the job boards to
see what equipment requirements are.  Post your resume on the job board. 
Is Escription internet based?
In other words don't the records reside on a database on the internet? Or am I mistaken?
Is it an internet-based platform or VR? What is wrong with it?

MDI-MD is internet based for typing, and I am pretty sure they will be going to sm
wav files soon.  I received a wav pedal in the mail in case the system goes down, plus I know that Bayscribe is going to be set up that way.  But for now, I still have my C-phone
You can try requesting an internet-based account
If they have any openings on any internet-based accounts, they may be able to put you on one of those. My primary account is internet-based, and I requested that my secondary account be internet-based as well, which was no problem at all.
It isn't based on any particular WP program. Can use
with Word though and probably is in most cases. 
Their new program utilizes high speed internet
so you no longer need unlimited LD, just a foot pedal.
If they say internet-based ASP, is that just the platform, or is it voice recog? nm

They have Scribe and Allscripts for Ortho. Both are internet based and easy to use. sm
I should mention that I do not know if those are the only two, but I think they are the majority of the accounts.
Is Transolutions DOS program based on WP51? Thanks. nm

Is Apex an internet word-based platform? Havent heard of it...

Which shortcut program works best with Windows-based Meditech?nm

Bayscribe also has a voice file program. They shipped me a wav pedal and headset not too long sm
ago, and I have noticed changes in the templates on a couple of my accounts, so I would say that soon more and more accounts will be done by wav files.  I probably still won't give up my unlimited LD, but it would be nice for traveling, not to have to lug my Cphone around and worry about LD costs.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.


anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm

Dr. joining an internet company
Anyone out there that can figure this out?  I work for a local physician who has decided to go with the Interest because supposedly it's cheaper.  They state they will charge 7 cpl 65 character.  How can a company charge that little and still pay the MT.  Will the MT make 2 or 3 cpl and who would do that??  Any comments?
Company paid internet
For those of you who do your transcription via internet, does the company you work for reimburse you for your internet cost?  If so, how much? 
Will you say what company uses Bayscribe besides MDI? (nm)
x
You obviously know nothing about the owner or the company. Many accounts are going to internet base
Long distance is not a big deal with digital connections.
U.S. based company
Softscript, Inc. or www.softscript.com is completely U.S. based, no offshoring. A nice company to work for (from home). Located in Santa Monica.
No, as shown above which is a company not program....nm
.
Trying to find company(ies) using the BayScribe transcription platform?

Did you not know they are an Indian-based company?
That is a well-known fact in this MT industry. I tried it anyway, and lo and behold, hated it! Prefer working for Americans as I am an American.
if this is the same company that is based in Maryland - sm
they used to have an excellent reputation. That's all the info I have to offer.
Is you company based in central FL? nm

Is this company based out of Pittsburgh?
I know of a small national company out of Pittsburgh that I used to work for with basically one large account.
Christian-based company
The sad thing is, some Christians will use their so called Christianity to make themselves more trustworthy then they are.
It is client-based/ not company
This is set up by the client NOT the MTSO. I have worked on several different VPN accounts for Keystrokes. Some I can access the internet and others I could not. It depends on the hospital/clinic. If they set the security really high, you will not be able to access the internet. However, if the settings are lower, you would be able to do it. If it were up to Keystrokes, they would definitely want you to be able to access the internet.
oops meant any company use this program

This company is the pits! They have the worst program
to work on - supposedly a wonderful automated computerized, integrated with voice recognition, state of the art, etc., that is so far behind the times that you spend 20 minutes trying to just figure out how to do the demographics on each report.

NOTHING is automated. Nothing is uniform.
You get multiple types of reports from multiple accounts to work on, but you have to have the instruction sheets open at all times because there is nothing uniform about which block the date they want for that report goes in (like playing the game where you find the nut shell that the pea is hidden under), so just to be sure you got it in right, put it in all 3. Then make sure you select the right reason that there is a problem on the report. There are probably 20 reasons, several say the same thing, but you better pick the right one (and do not ever suggest they remove the ones you should not use, nor suggest that they only have 1 box to put a date in, or anything else about this program, because it can't be done.) You have to go to a minimum of 5 different screens just to finish the demographic garbage.

The problem is that management has gotten too far away from transcription. They sit in their ivory towers and do not realize how much clerical work the MLS has to do to complete a report. They are not open to any suggestions, always the same old story of we have always done it this way.

Technical support is a total joke. You can sit for hours and never hear a word on how to fix the problem. And when you do hear from them, it is always your fault.

Not sure if they have fixed any of the not-so-automated stuff recently, but I doubt it - they probably just created more boxes for the MLS to complete.

So do yourself a favor and find a different company. I found one that wrote their own program and it is great. You rarely have to do anything with demographics. Everything is quick and easy with good and SENSIBLE keystroke commands (ones you can relate the command to the letter of the alphabet, not something like using control+T to enter a patient name or whatever stupid command Transcend assigned to that field.

Editing is an even bigger joke. The team leads take all the good editing jobs and the MLS is left with the crap. And cherry picking is rampant.
how can you indicate NOT an offshore company based on what you "read?"

Best not to judge a company based on recruiter. (sm)
I just wanted to say that I am an MT and am related to a recruiter who actually recruits for several different companies at the same time. She isn't allowed to give out account names or even cities that the accounts are in by any of the companies she recruits for. She also is only the first step - if you seem like a good fit and pass the tests, then she puts someone from the actual company in touch with you to give you more information. I know of at least 2 other recruiters who also work for more than one company. They aren't on-site at the company, have no direct knowledge of the work flow patterns or accounts, and haven't ever actually even met the people they are recruiting for! Not all companies do this, but some of the smaller ones outsource their recruiting this way. My advice is this: If you don't get what you need from the recruiter, ask to speak to someone else who can tell you more.
Company I work for is based out of Texas
My main accounts are elsewhere but since the hurricane, the hospital we do there is not up and running so those girls are working on other accounts. It's slow everywhere. And yes, over-hiring is a big part of it.
US based company? Focus MTs US=925, India=3800.

Anirudh Baheti (an Indian) started the company and sold it to Nuance for 58 million dollars last year.


Just an FYI, Mr. Baheti also owns a company called Focus Care which is a service that recruitis Indian nurses, trains them to pass the US nursing boards, and then places them in US hospitals to work for a much lower wage than an American nurse earns.


Mr. Baheti also owns/owned a company called Focus Enterprises which deals in industrial tubes and pipes.


Tell me again how this is US based company?


I see that CardioScribes is now advertising as a "Kentucky-based" company. sm
Since when is India in Kentucky?  Having the Indian owner own a house in Kentucky does NOT make the company KY-based!  I hate deception such as this. 
eSkribe claims to be based in Ohio, but is an Indian company
Check out their website at eSkribe.com.

Internet

I have recently moved into an area that does not have DSL or cable available.  The only thing that would be available would be through satellite and that would cost $400 to start and then $40 a month.  The $40 a month sounds great, although the initial fee of $400 for equipment does not make me happy.  My biggest concern is that there are some companies that would not allow the satellite internet.  Does anyone know any companies that allow you to use dial-up service or satellite for radiology transcription? 


Thanks for your help. 


You bet that the internet has taken over,
and this long ago!

What are you going to do if you do not understand a term a doctor is dictating?
How are you going to 'look it up' in one of your books?

But, if you type it into a medical website, you get options offered: 'Did you mean..?'
This helps a LOT.

This is ONLY A SMALL EXAMPLE.

I think the internet alone may be ok after you have a sm
couple years of experience. But I don't think starting out using the internet only is a good idea. There is too much incorrect information on the internet. If you are not familiar or don't research you are going to pick up wrong information.

I know I will probably get slammed for that but I have seen it over and over and over again. Folks just don't know how to or will not take the time to research anymore.
