review typed reports
The only way I know to review reports already typed is they go to QA for anything. Of course, when new, the MT is on full QA.
It sounds like the OP is wanting as much info on DQS as possible, so here are a couple things I don't believe I saw in this thread.
Keep in mind that as new accounts are started, there will also be blanks left, usually for demo things, landmarks, etc., so that is a big help, too.
How easy is it to access old reports and
how far back do they go.
Test Was Easy
BUT if you don't have years of experience you won't be hired by them.
agree, IMEs are great $$, easy reports, miss them, would love to find them

I believe this. I had taken their test, which was as far as I am concerned, EASY, yet...
They told me I didnt pass. I didnt even think it was possible to fail that easy of a test but the other poster may have had a point.
All I know is I took the test, I thought it was very easy
and I failed. I was hoping to find out what I had done wrong. In any event, I'm testing with other companies that transcribe general and legal to get some variety.
That test was so easy. If you didn't know
- you shouldn't be an MT. They were very BASIC questions that you learn in Transcription 101.
Test was really fairly easy. (sm)
I expected there to be some really difficult accents, but they weren't.
Good luck.
Don't want to have to use keyboard to type test reports. Anyone know (sm)
of companies that just do the verbal testing or a company that you can do the test reports using the same foot pedal control we use with Medquist?
Regardless of whether they are live or archived, 10 test reports is ridiculous.
From my experience, the average number of test reports is usually around 4. Like another poster said, if an MTSO is this crooked with potential employees, God knows how they treat their hired MTs. I'd take that as a sign and bolt.
I thought the written was fairly easy. The typing test (sm)
was difficult for me because the specialties I was tested on were different than what I'd been working on, plus new docs that I wasn't dialed-in to, yet. Also, since the test is on a temporary platform (Express Scribe) I couldn't slow it down, and one doc was pretty fast. STILL, because of that fact I was allowed to take my time, so I looked up every term I wasn't 100% familiar with, and proofread several times. The hospital I was testing on was a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so that meant lots of new drugs & procedures; thank goodness for the Internet! Although we are paid on production, QUALITY is the most important thing. I do a lot more proofreading than I did at my previous job, and as a result I often work longer hours to make my line count, but I can break up my day any way I need to, so I'm not chained to my desk. As a result I feel a lot more relaxed than I used to, and my blood pressure has gone down, as well.
I got 100% on the phone interview, and thought the on-line test was easy, but they still didn't h

Took what I thought was an easy test but no response. Sounds like we're not missing much though.
I agree with the other poster. Where are all the decent companies at?
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using
s
where they 35 comparable reports - or 35 short and 35 long reports? nm

I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
Typing ER reports and radiologogy reports
are completely different with regards to pay. For typing regular reports, that is a very fine line rate. For typing radiology reports, it would be horrid.
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

Typed in the USA
To be honest, I was not 100% serious when I posted about starting up Typed in the USA. But the response from people is so unbelievable that I am starting to. I'm trying to write back to everyone who wrote to me.
Do you think the trend might be starting to reverse from the cheap foreign services? The doctors are realizing that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Duh! And many transcription companies (not all because there are terrific companies too) are losing good employees who want to be paid fairly and treated well.
Look at all the sign on bonuses being offered in the Want Ads and the same companies posting over and over. There must be something wrong if you are willing to pay so much for new hires. I have never run a company so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I would try giving that sign on bonus to the good employees you already have to make sure they stay and produce. Then maybe you have to hire less trainers, managers and overworked QA people because your employees stay longer and are motivated. You therefore have less overhead. Hiring more people at lower salary to save money might be a kind of trick that companies play for their stockholders or whatever. They can say look how little we spend on payroll while they are actually losing money in the long haul when quality goes down and they lose clients. But eventually the piper has to be paid.
Anybody see the movie Wall Street with MIchael Douglas? That movie is SOOOOOOO right about what is going on today. CEOs, instead of investing in their communities, became vultures. They would destroy a company to make money for a few backers and then the workers and community would be left to die.
Sorry to get a soapbox here! I'm transcribing orthopedics and my mind is wandering!
I don't know when she typed them
.
cpl - I have never typed for
I have never typed for anyone that required a line rate. Mine were always minutes.
I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
That is funny because I typed in
DocuMed and it came up the very first response. Also, you can type comments on DocuMed in Google and it will show old postings from sites such as this one. I would like some info on them, too:)
The NPs and PAs I've typed for said
things like erythromy-A-cin and digoxacin and larNIX and pharNIX. So are they illiterate/dyslexic? We all know they're reading it from the chart. Amazes me.
OH I can't believe I typed "I was do." I'm so ashamed!!!
I KNOW you have to send it out as if you typed it yourself (sm)
My question wasn't whether I had to send it out at a 98 to 100% standard. My question was whether all of you VR lovers actually do that. I can't in good conscience send out work that is less than my best, but by the same token, I can't figure out how to edit the VR crap fast enough to make a living.
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET????
I realized it after I typed it :)

I have typed oncology only.....
for at least 10 years. Of course, in my opinion, it is easier to do this because when doing clinic work you have less doctors, less work types and such as that. For me, the pay is the same as any other MT. I love typing oncology though and would hate to have to go back to acute care.
Just took the test myself. No actual dictation to transcribe. Just a written test.
For 13 cpl, I might do it if the dictators aren't a total horror.
I just took the test today - thought it was a great test of MT skills.

Yes, typed 3 voice files
The recruiter gave me three voice files and I had two hours to return them. Not bad, one was kind of hard. You only have to fill in the blanks, not transcribe the entire report. Just like doing an edit. From the time I applied on-line, got a call from the recruiter and tested and then offered a position was less than two days. They sent me an equipment package and paperwork, I trained and now I am working my way through the three week full QA process. Nice people so far, I am very happy with Medware.
Ugh, I have typed face lifts before. sm
No way would I want that spoon elevator peeling my face off the muscles and then wrapping my head in gauze. So gross. I'll take the wrinkles any day.
Tssc pays for everything that is typed sm
So if you type a patient name, dob, or dos, you get paid for it. TSSC works for some people, for some it does not.
I've heard and typed that before.
I don't really see the humor, it is just technical terminology. Just my opinion.
I like Typed in the USA, but I would make it Transcribed in the USA
It's longer but better description than typed, at least I think so. Good luck!!!
Bravo! Your message should be typed and placed on
But most importantly, of course, on the desk of every MT company CEO across America.
Greed is NOT good. It's why our entire economy is in the mess it's in today.
Probably typed by templated machine -
I seriously doubt the tech of the physician himself. The company I used to work for also had this and it was a templated program that typed out the report (in other words, VR).
Also wanted to add, if they want spaces typed, they
dang sure better pay for them!
All questions are being TYPED; everyone is on mute. nm
.
There is no written test. Must have been a different company. I took their ortho test sm
and it was easy. You had to know your terminology but it was easy to understand AND I used my foot pedal.
typed "thanks" at the end of the above msg, not wha'ts showing there. nm
99% Indian offshore typed - They hold on
to US transcriptionists until a new account is up and running, then let you go. I am friends with someone that did QA for them - she told me that was the company's practice. She no longer works for them because she spent more time retyping reports.
I've typed radiology on Extext...
for several years now and I wouldn't want to work on any other platform. I love it.
The session statistics will vary depending on several factors. I also worked for a company where the ability to view was not allowed, and the reason for this was because the Extext line counting was different from the line counting used by the company I worked for. If the specific contract your MTSO has with the account you work on is not paid by the same line counting configuration, then the session statistics will not be the same as the line counts you get off of the iChart website which are set up according your account's specific line counts parameters.
You will probably find as many people that hate Extext as you do that love it...I for one definitely do love it. Good luck! :)
Let spellcheck to its job. When typing and I knw I typed a word
h
That's ridiculous. If you have ever typed a pathology report
you would know that. It is sometimes a double process, typing the gross and then going back in and typing the microscopic.
I cannot fathom how anyone could offer so little money for those type reports as the terminology is extremely technical.
I think she means don't bold it until you've typed
after a space. Then once you've transcribed past the header, go back and bold it. Meditech is blah!! You'll get used to it, but it's not transcription friendly for sure.
speaking, sorry for the typo, but I typed it too fast! nm
nm
It usually is 10-12 lines typed per minute of dictation. nm
x
Please excuse the typos. I typed fast as this
is such a hot subject with me. I should have proofed before I hit post. The content of the message is 100%, although the QA did not pass well. Forgive me!
I have big compassion for typos typed in haste
or even anger! Everybody does this.
But the errors that I pointed out are not done out of haste or anger, these are done out of lacking of grammar and spelling skills.
Done repeatedly, in this post 10 times the same mistake!
It is MT
MTs for plural
in the 60s, not in the 60's
etc....
