digital signature - how are your doc signing or initialing their notes?

thanks for your reply.

Are your docs somehow signing off on the notes at some point in the process? and if so, how are they doing that?

Question for you...what do you mean by the new one now is sending IC a check with no signature?   I never had a check with no signature...but I did notice bank changing and, of course, the late, late, late, paychecks. The story was always that it was lost in the mail. Mmmmm.....interesting.

How long can this go on and should a current IC stay and hope for the best? Time will tell.

ANYONE SIGN A CONTRACT FOR REQUIRED REPORTS COMPLETED IN A DAY FOR FT?  WORRIED I AM BITING OFF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW!

an IC job for a few more hours, I guess I'm all about change for the New Year!  (ha)  Obviously, I cannot (or at least do not want to) work that much forever, but I have goals, and since I don't see the Pretty Woman fairytale coming true for me or perhaps winning the lottery, the only way to accomplish them is through hard work.  I believe we should change and constantly evolve into the best we can be, regardless of life situations and what beats us down.  I also realize that is easy to say, not always easy to do. 

I have been a medical Transcriptionist for over 30 years now, starting in high school with on-the-job training.  I am thankful for having that inhouse experience with ladies who had been doing it forever and having the benefit of their ears to listen, not to mention their patience and caring and being willing to teach me and share their knowledge.  Like many others, I have watched the benefits and wages go down in this field and have felt frustrated, hopeless, etc., but ultimately we are all the captains of our own destiny. 

I do not think I have the patience for QA, and I applaud those of you who do it.  To those of you who venture out and switch professions, I applaud you as well for your courage and determination.   To those who are the sole support for a family depending on you, I give you my cudos as well.   I am the only income for me and my doggie, and that is scary enough at times.  I cannot imagine the pressure of having others depend on me as well.

This is ending up a bit rambling.  I think I had a point when I started out.  I suppose I just wanted to thank you for the positive post and encourage others and let them know they are not alone.   Change is a part of life, but together perhaps we can all slog through it together. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

other options.   There are multiple long distance carriers and I don't think it is up to the MTSO to research them all and see which ones do/do not offer an unlimited plan.  AT&T sells their plan as unlimited, but unlimited to them is 5000 minutes, and that isn't enough if you work full-time. 

Do they have a website? I can't find one....

Thanks!

I do not reside in Columbus, and I have not been offered a position by this company...  I was just curious about the company and wondered if they hired WAH MTs outside of Ohio. 

Thanks for any and all information. 

Does anyone out there work for Digital Records Corporation, MTs, that is?  Need to know if you have to have a C-phone as the only way of working for them?  Will be taking their oral part of test on Monday, but she would not tell me any specifics about them before that !  Whatever else you could tell me about them would be greatly appreciated.  All I know, right now, is that they do pay for the spaces, that is a plus for me, because now I don't get paid for that !  Thanks.

Anyone work for either or test for either?  I see that ad has been at top of page for SmartMed and had 2000+ hits and wander what is the story - no one posts about them. Also never see Digital Records commented upon except for pay by the stroke a little bit down the page.

Anyone familiar with this company?  If so, what do you think of them.  Good/bad place to work.  Platforms?  Fair pay with spaces?  Enough work?

Thanks

I too tested for Digital Transcription Services back at the end of February.  I sent my tests in and never heard a word from the company.  How inconsiderate in my opinion.  I'm sure I wouldn't want to work for a company that is run this way.

Only 2 people working there one of which is the owner, who will not pay. She will stiff you for hundreds of dollars stating that she had too much corrections.  Look out please..

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. 

Has anyone ever worked for DRC out of California?  I am looking for a full time position and have been testing and applying all over the place and I just received a call from DRC. I am to take a verbal question test over the phone and then type 5 files for testing. I was just wondering if this is a good company as far as how it treats it's employees.

Thanks a bunch,

Lynn

Has anyone had experiences with this company, i.e. staff, software, accounts, good pay (and ontime), etc.

Thanks

!

I went ahead and applied for their little ortho job over there and was sent 6 test files, about 20+ minutes of dictation time total.  I said I would only do one file, but did anyone else get this?  I worry when i get things like this as a lot of people will use the testing to get the work done for free.

Thanks

Does anybody work for this company now or have worked there in the past that can give me any information?
