ABCZ System
Try the ABCZ Abbreviation Typing System. The basics of the system are explained in detail at the website link below. You do not have to purchase anything. You can enter all of your own expansions using the system. However, they do have dictionaries for sale that already have thousands of words, phrases, and drug names entered.

Meditech is an operating system and Fusion is voice for a dictation system

ABCZ
Anyone use ABCZ Expander glossary? I am a new at home MT and thinking about purchasing it. Is it helpful and how does it work?
Is ABCZ the most productive?
I am just curious. Do you all productive MTs feel that the abcz method/system is more productive than other systems? I need to double my production. I am only getting 800 lines a day and I need 2000, but I cannot work 24 hours a day!
Thanks
Google ABCZ method.

Is there a Smartype version of ABCZ?
Those are the two Expanders that I use.
Thanks again
ABCZ expanders for Smartype?
I need the Smartype version of an ABCZ exapander shortcut list. Anyone know where I can find a list like this that is already in the Smartype format? Thanks
instant text abcz
I am wondering---I am new to Instant Text (although OLD to transcription) and am still teaching myself to utilize instant text....I need to have someone sitting by me showing me, that's how I learn, but really, who cares. Anyway, is ABCZ a part of Instant Text or is that a separate program? I truly believe per Miss Indigo in a post below that really it is about working smarter and faster and that is the secret to making the bucks. Anyway, any info appreciated. thanks!
instant text abcz
So it is just a way for me to input short cuts? It's not already in there?
instant text abcz
Ah HA! now I get it. thanks so much!
Instant Text and abcz
Happy Holidays everyone!
I was wondering if anyone uses the abcz method with Instant Text and if they were pleased with it.
Does anyone know of a place where it can be downloaded? Or any other suggestions?
People have been helpful and my productivity is inceasing but still need more help!
As always, thanks to all for your willingness to help!!
I just purchased the ABCZ glossaries for IT sm
A few weeks ago, and I am glad I did. It was definitely worth it. I like that I didn't have to start over from scratch to start following a system. I used his files and then used the workshop to convert my enteries over to the ABCZ system. It has been a big help to me. With 2 small kids I didn't have the time to try to figure out my own system and start creating the entries, so ABCZ was perfect for me.
ABCZ Typing Assistant-
Has anyone used any of the ABCZ files from the following site, in particular this file "ABCZ Typing Assistant Version 2 - TAMed2C " ?http://home.earthlink.net/~agjon/abczTA.htm
I have Instant Test and was wondering if there was a way to create your own ABCZ shortcuts with the "importer"?
Thanks
Jon's files use a set rule of ABCZ and that works for everybody.

Yeah, I use the ABCZ method too. Didn't know that was what it was called.
You are right, the normal function is when you highlight your text and then higt ctrl+y and a little window pops up asking for a description and an abbreviation. For the description, I always start with my initials and a dash and then the actual description. That way all my normals are grouped together in the list and I don't have to sort through everybody elses to get to mine.
Do a Google search for ABCZ for lots of sites.

ABCZ expander shortcuts for Instant Text
I am in search of abcz Expander shortcuts already made into a list or glossary for Instant Text or Smartype. Does anyone know where to find them?
Thanks
Yeah, just like ABCZ which I used in auto correct and SmartType, I think.
Bottom line, they increase production, TAT, quality and salary. My company provides us with 2 different ones because they are like a raise in wages. And companies have less employes and taxes, everyone is happy.'
Sorry about confusion and typos, I do not have my glasses on lol (they are in this house somewhere, i just know it!).
ABCZ word/phrase list for Autotext?
Does anyone know where an ABCZ word/phrase list for Autotext (not autocorrect) can be found?
I made up my own abcz list; based on yrs of how it's already stored on Excel.

Good luck
It's the way our system is set up..
We can search to see what work is out there, and we can also search by author and see what work each author has, and even look at completed reports, which is nice when you're stuck. I love my platform.
everyone on DQS (DEP) system
not all accounts are on it yet, but most are
Can you say what system it was? nm
xx
I think it is what system you are using,
that is why I asked you to tell me more. I use eScription and 1 can believe or not but I am amazed at how the ESLs are picked up better than the English. You are using Dictaphone- I have read other posts who are on different VR system and they are not satisfied. I have loads of ESLs on my account but am happy VR is picking up instead of my having to listen to them all and trying to muddle through.
Your system allows this?
The system I work on does not allow me to 'pick' my work. I have a pool of work and it loads into my computer 3 records at a time. I have to take what I get and do what I get. Your system allows you to choose what dictations you want to do? In my opinion, that is not fair to anyone. It should be what pops up gets done by whoever reaches it first.
I would say one last thing to my boss about it, if I were you. I would just tell her that you can sit there and watch what is happening, that this one person is taking the gravy jobs, and for your boss to sit and observe it herself and do something about it. I don't see why any person feels they are better than another, to get an easy income while others struggle. I sure hope it is resolved soon for you.
For every system set up, there is a way around it..
our system recently changed to allow only ONE job to be seen and worked on at a time, which they thought would stop the cherry picking, but it has not. There is a web site where we can still view what is coming next and down the line. The cherry pickers just wait, PERHAPs doing a little job here and there, and then as soon as a very large one comes up, snap. it is gone! I hate this way of things. I certainly wish that all accounts were "assigned" accounts. Much more fair to all transcriptionists. but that is just my opinion!!!
EMR System
I just got back from a meeting at my employer's office. They've been implementing EMR and expect most of it to be up and running by March. They haven't come right out and told us (the other transcriptionis), but we may be without a job, although they haven't really said too much. Supposedly they may still need us because there are some doctors that are set in their ways and won't use it.
What system do you use? NM

The problem is with our system.
As a Caucasion I do feel shame for what my ancestors have done to people of other races, especially to Native Americans. However, I cannot go back in time and fix that. The problem now is not that people want to come here, the problem is the gravy train our government allows outsiders that do come here. This is in no way good for the citizens of this country, no matter their original nationality. If I wanted to become a citizen of another country, the first thing I would expect to have to do is to learn the language. The powers that be have had a global economy as part of the agenda, and now we have it. This did not start with the current administration. I do not know if there is anything that can be done to help the situation at this point. The powers that be have what they want. If you are big business, then you can trade with anyone in any country who has the money. If this is what they wanted, at least they could level the playing field so that we could financially compete with those who are being given a free ride.
Then she'd get back on the system with
This is so-and-so, and I got disconnected AGAIN.
Call-in system
I have an internet based digital call in system with 4 ports. It is very simple to use. The doctor calls in and then the work is on the server, you load it with Express Scribe and do your work........If you want another transcriptionist to get work, then you just put in their e-mail address along with your doctor's key and it will automatically forward to the transcriptionist, while you still have a copy of the voice file to be able to double check the work. I bought mine through RT King.
abcdz system
Could you please explain?
Yep, but its the Dictaphone system...
My hospital rad account decided to "upgrade" their system which supposedly would take half an hour - its now 6 hours and counting - and the docs haven't been able to dictate since noon - boy R we in for a backlog tomorrow! 
Can't you log onto MQ's system and find that out?
I don't know about anyone else, but I would never stay with a company that didn't have enough work to keep me busy.
To sm, don't do it! Someone will call you and ask why you are off the system!

DOS based system
Has anyone ever worked for a company that is DOS based? I started a new job today, and their system is in DOS. To me it is really old-school, but I guess I will just have to learn.
Can you use the DOS system with Windows XP?nm

You can't explain it. Our system we have
set up, like I said before, does not help the people who really need it half the time. The people who can afford to build on the beach and build mansions at that, should have to rebuild themselves.
My point though is that not everyone can get out. Not everyone has that opportunity. I got so tired of hearing about it was the people's fault in New Orleans because they should have left. What do people not understand about not being able to leave if you have no vehicle? It is their local government's fault for not using the buses they had on hand.
Cerner is a pie system for MTs...(sm)
A hospital I used to work for went to Cerner about a year before I left. It was very nice for the MTs compared to the dinosaur system we had before it. The front office and billing I cannot say were so happy about it..and expect alot of headaches throughout your department until they get used to it. But as far as the MT side of it..it was great. LOVED the lil "sticky notes" you could enter on a document to bring something to the rad's attention before they could sign it off.
About system restore, sorry about that

Our problem is...system will
Therefore, we are not able to edit anything because we can't get in.

Dictatphone System
I have an Enterprise Express that I would like to sell! If interested, please email me!
...that would be 'great' system! :) nm

It depends on how the system is set up...sm
I have worked on several different Meditech systems. They are all different. Margins are different. How the lines and/or characters are counted are different. One system counts gross lines, one system counts all lines blank lines included, one system counts just characters. Some count the headers, some don't. I currently work on two systems and when I copied and put into word, one system was right on and the other had a descrepancy I though might be the header.
lanier system sm
Please help. Our Transcriptionist left abruptly, and we are needing to acess the files to pull a medical report. We have the job in que, but we are not able to get any further. Can someone walk us through getting this thing typed.
