My account is looking to buy new digital voice recorders.  What they are currently using is discontinued.

They would prefer to buy one at a local office store where they can actually see it and try it.  Price isn't too big of an issue, but ease of use definitely is and clarity a must for me.  I will encourage them to buy online if needed, though.

If anyone has any recommendations, I would really appreciate it.

When someone makes a point about family medical history going onto a child's records and possibly preventing that child from obtaining health or life insurance in the future, you start talking about identity theft, which is NOT the topic that person is talking about.

When someone talks about identity theft, THEN you start talking about how giving medical information about deceased family members could not possibly contribute to identity theft.

Stay on topic. Quit dancing around the point. Stop making vague statements about people being "paranoid" and "scared". Many posters in this thread have gone out of their way to explain exactly WHY they feel the way they do and do the things they do, yet you completely ignore that and say they lack common sense. You have absolutely NO rational basis for your arguments. They are all based on your OPINION that people are too paranoid.

When you can come up with some solid REASONS why people shouldn't be cautious with their personal information, maybe someone will be willing to listen to you. But that hasn't happened yet, and I'm not holding my breath.

had better get that sucker typed before it gets out of ONE MINUTE TAT.

a live alligator swimming around the flood waters there in one area. The newscaster kept saying it was live and nobody would come out and was avoiding that area until it disappeared. It's probably waiting somewhere quietly for its next dinner to walk by.

Two of my accounts are in New Orleans and I have typed hundreds of patients with abscesses that tested positive for MRSA over the last few months. The way the city is now cannot be helping this at all. A few of the docs I do are automatically  treating for MRSA now w/o getting the culture report just because they've seen so many cases.

That would be real news there.

No, the woman bought a LOUIS VUITTON with the money she got

Hi, all:  I've been getting my own small clients here and there, and I've had a request for a proposal to radiology reports for a small radiology group.  Their current vendor is charging them by report, not line.  Anyone have any idea what to charge by report?  I've done some calculating with regard to average lines per report, and I'm thinking of offering to do it for $3 per report.  Any idea if this is too high or too low???  Any input is appreciated........

Working as an IC you should be charging $2 per report, that is what I charge my clients.  Good Luck!!!

I work at home for a service, but not as an IC.  I found work changed by having a temporary copy on file - then the QA changes/corrections - and then relistened and found changes made that affected the whole report, different medications, different procedures and PMH, etc.  Information that will probably one day go on to another physician that is incorrect and that I did not transcribe, but with my initials on the report.  Of course, I realize that once the physician signs it that the liability is on him, but it's just inconceivable that someone would do this.  I saw this happen one other time when I worked in house and one Transcriptionist didn't like another one and this was done in order to try and get the disliked employee fired.  However, it did not involve my work then.  I keep thinking that MTs all think ethically and with a legal obligation to the patient, but I know in reality that to some it is just a job.  I am tetering on talking to the company and/or the account manager, especially since I have everything in black and white - the first report - the QA corrections - the changes to the report after it came back to me, etc.  I'm just looking for some guidance on how to handle the situation. 

I had one MD last week that had this dinging sound throughout his report......I hit no key accidentally or held a key down.  This was on the dictator's side, this dinging noise.....

24 QA markers.  The darn thing looked liked Swiss cheese.  And it wasn't even an ESL.  He was an American who could speak perfectly good English if he chose to.  Instead, he slurrs entire sentences, sometimes 2 or 3 together in the same breath.  I cringe every time this guy comes up on my screen and even having old reports to look at in my feedback screen doesn't help. 

Okay, I'm done.  Have a good evening.  I'm changing into my flannel jammies and watching a movie.

I think 1.10 is low - i get 1.50 on one account, 2.00 on another.  I think rad reports are average 15 lines per report.

On other rad accounts I get 10 and 12 cents per line.

I think you were responding to another post, but...

I understand your predicament.  This is the reason why I will only work for an MTSO that pays per report.  And even with that, I need to see a good balance of reports, with at least 50-60% of the dictations 1 minute or less.   Also, an MTSO that pays for links and has normals.  Your average x-ray may be 10 lines, so imagine getting paid $1.20/report for that, and for the 5-line one, too.  Yes, you'll get CTs and MRIs, but these are so easy to template and add to your Instant Text that even if they're 3 mins, you'll still do them in little of no time.   

That QA person's name should be on the report as well, especially since they have the final say in its quality.  If the QA passes off a piece of ----, they'll still get off scott free, while the MT gets left holding the bag, as usual.

an apology/correction letter sent with a corrected report to all five CC'd physicians, at the request of the psycho MD whose name I screwed up.

My director said just do it and forget about it. 

I agree, that MD had some other issues going on there, for sure, besides being accidentally referred to as Dr. Stupid. 

Does anyone know of a web site with surgical report samples and EMG reports?  I've searched google for hours and can only find informartion ABOUT them, not actual reports....

Thanks for ANY help!
