DIFFICULT? - transfer word reports into digital charts? (sm)
Posted By: chrissy on 2008-02-23
In Reply to:
I have heard it is difficult to get our transcribed microsoft word reports into any type of EMR (electronic medical record) type of setup.
Is this true?
If we just change the program we type on before we send it to the office for the office to put into an electronic chart (which they say will be mandated by about 2010 or so) -- would that make it possible?
Many docs are not happy to have to do their own corrections etc.
Also a few years ago there was already a program where the docs signed off electronically for their reports. NOW IT'S LIKE SOME BIG HAIRY DEAL for them to do it.
Seems like we are going backwa5rds 
HELP.
would love to hear from anybody who has already met this problem and figured it out -- either send an email or ans here - would be so appreciated. Thanks.

Any way to transfer microcasettes to digital voice files? (sm)
I'll be using a subcontractor and rather than picking up and delivering tapes, is there a way for me to transfer dictation from tapes to voice files that she can transcribe using express scribe?
Do they make such a machine?
I proof as I go, but re-listen to difficult reports.

Can you transfer them from Word 2002 to Word 2003?
I was able to transfer mine from one computer to another when I had Word 2002 on both of them. Now I have a new computer with Word 2003, and have not been able to do it. The autocorrect has a different file name.
How do I transfer DQS expansions to MS Word
I already know how to access and copy the user.aco files from DQS, but I can't figure out how to copy them into another copy of MS Word Auto Correct to use for another platform.
I use it to transfer files but I think it is based on Word sm
for typing so you shouldn't have a problem with macros and Expanders as long as they are in Word. As far as the footpedal, I am not sure as I have a USB adaptar from RadioShack converting it to USB instead of serial, but you can download the free trial of DocShuttle and see if it would work.
Anyone know how to transfer auto corrects from SmarType to word? please..nm

Anyone know how I can take addresses from a Word document and transfer them to mailing labels?
I have several hundred typed out, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn it into a mailing list. I have downloaded Avrey Wizard, but when I try to do it, it asks me about field delimiters and no matter what I pick it doesn't work. Maybe there is a simpler way??
Thanks!
Can I transfer instant text word list to autocorrect??
Hi all. Well I have a ton of entries stored in my Instant Text program. The problem is, that now that I am using Editscript version 8 instead of version 6, whenever I use my instant text program, it freezes up on me.. So I am just wondering, is there any way that I can transfer over my IT word lists over to autocorrect in microsoft word?? I think this is the only text Expander I can use with editscript 8. I really appreciate any help with this!!
Ohmy yes...and the one in the background is never that clear when I'm doing his charts! nm

C Phone not dialing--D-Light from CHARTS-- Please help
Hey y'all. I have a little black box of a C-Phone, from C.H.A.R.T.S. and it is called D-Light.
Yesterday it would not dial. Everything else works apparently, the green light is on and it changes from green to red when I hit the buttons to dial or hit the foot pedal.
But, the DIAL TONE is lower volume than normal and it will not dial. The buttons do nothing. I do get the phone company prompt "If you are trying to make a call, please hang up..." if I stay on the line long enough.
It is acting like it is not getting power, this is how it acts when the power cord is not plugged in. But, it is plugged in. I think the machine could work, I just don't know what is going wrong.
Please help if you know what is going wrong. TX so much-- I gotta work!!
It took me 8-10 hours for 100 charts 1000 lines sm
This was with ExText, 20- to 45-second (give or take) reports. I did have distractions. I was completely bored with soooooo many short-short reports. Also took some time in the document info screen because company I was in did not have their act together. Had to search and recheck that I had the correct visit and location.
Hope this helps somewhat.
I have never worked where the MT dept was anywhere near the charts, for that reason.
It's been my experience in different hospitals that MT dept is NOT the MR dept. Different wings, different supervisors, different workers. As a hospital MT I never had access to the charts. But since you said you went upstairs to do this, it sounds like your facility is the same.
You shouldn't be going off on your own to pull patient charts for your own curiosity!!! nm

I do tapes and digital. And I was told if I'm not logged into the digital system, they assume I&
BUT she wants me logged into the system by 9:30 a.m. So I'm confused too. I've decided that I may come back to her and just say I'm not going to do the tapes anymore. I hate the tapes anyway. The voice quality is horrible, it fades in and out. It takes me twice as long to transcribe their tapes than the digital.
Scarry!!! Docs and nurses entering drugs and dosages into online charts. (sm)
Most of my docs cannot spell medical terms. They can't pronounce or spell drugs. The nurses are for the most part useless - no ARNP I ever asked could help me with a medical term.
I just spoke to my HMO. They are now offering personal Online-charts showing
visits, tests, immunizations, etc. of what you personally had done.
I asked EXACTLY HOW DOES THIS INFO GET INTO THE SYSTEM, at what point?
The woman said: It is input by the doc and the nurses.
I shuttered!
There goes the end of quality health care as we used to know it!
Easy to work with. You can look up old reports. Your own word expander will work
s
The MR reports were being filed. Referring physicians/medical care providers reports were not.
This is a hospital radiology department with in-house MTs and a clerk who is in charge of the report distribution.
The two sentence normal reports will balance out the 3 page reports.
I am Wendy too
MQ transfer
Don't bother - they are now transferring those "wonderful" Birmingham employees elsewhere and the company is going to the dogs.
MQ Transfer
Would you mind telling us where you were transferred to?? One o f the MT's in our office is ruuning into the same problem you had--she works 7 days a week and runs out of work in all of her 4 accts but yet they (Foxboro) will call her on monday morning to tell her that they are out of TAT in her primary act. She did exactly what you did and used another ID number and lo and behold there was all the work, being held for someone else
Transfer
I was transferred from Old Bridge, N.J. to Warminster, PA. Old Bridge closed March 31. Another MT, who is an email friend of mine, also works out of Foxboro and she is out of work a lot lately, too.
How do you transfer
AutoText from Word to a disk or flash drive. I can't figure out how to get it on there. TIA
office transfer
I have heard of employees changing offices. I agree about DocQScribe and line count issues, but after trying a couple other companies out I decided it wasn't so bad after all. Good Luck!!
MQ transfer ? for Buffey
Buffey,
On the company board you mentioned you work for the Columbus Ohio office, now your saying someone in your office (Foxboro) had some problems. Do you work out of both Columbus AND Foxboro? I'm confused

Need HELP to transfer expansions
I want to transfer my shortcuts (expansions) from DocQScribe to Microsoft office word. Is it possible to do this? Can anyone tell me where to go for instructions/guidelines on doing this? Please help!
transfer autocorrect
If you are using the same version of MS Word you can just replace the ".acl" file with the one you have. It does not need to be converted. This "may" work even if not the same version.
You should be able to find the correct location by doing a Windows search for "*.acl"; however, if there are files in multiple locations, start Word and add or delete something from Autocorrect, then close Word. Repeat the search and find the most recently modified .acl file and rename it. Then copy your old file into that same folder. Open Word back up and your old Autocorrect things should be there.
If this does not work and/or you still need a text file, let me know and I will try to help further.
AutoCorrect transfer...sm

What would be the easiest way to transfer AutoCorrect entries from one computer to another?

Ever tried CC File Transfer? sm
I wonder if it is HIPAA-compliant. Any responses are appreciated.

File Transfer
I am currently using Novuscript as my file transfer provider. I only do a very small amount of transcription for 1 doctor, and this is costing me around $50 a month. Does anyone have any suggestions for a more economical HIPAA compliant file transfer method.
You can transfer from some expanders. SH
has a tutorial in their software showing how to do it. I transferred from PRD.
transfer & invoice
I use PractiCount for line counting & invoicing. I've used Sylvan as well & I think PractiCount is way superior, plus it's cheaper. For one thing, you can drag & drop from a file tree. All the files you are counting don't have to be in the same folder. I found this annoying with Sylvan. PractiCount does everything Sylvan does, and then some, only better.

AutoCorrect Transfer
You could try Windows Easy Transfer. I used it to transfer all of my settings, including AutoText and AutoCorrect, from my desktop to my laptop. Just do a search for it and it will tell you how to do everything.
????????? You use it to transfer files from
the client's system to your computer. Not hard at all. They transfer in the form of WAV files and then you download them into your "player"-- I use Express Scribe and transcribe them. You open it up, download the files, and then close it again. You do not actually "work" in it, it just gets you the files.
You do have to transfer the files...
... there are some instructions here:

I highly recommend the Productivity Talk board (Google it) for answers to these kinds of questions. :)
Trust me, I wouldn't transfer -
I just wanted to know where this LA la land was. I wasn't trying to be nasty. I am very frustrated with all this BS going on. The the majority are unhappy and a handful of happy people - doesn't make sense. If they would operate every office the same, it would certainly cut down on the unhappy versus happy MTs. I'm glad your happy and got an awesome account - I felt that way about them for many, many years. I am not miserable with them, I just think that we should be treated as people and every office equal.

large file transfer
My MTSO sends large volumes of new account info (tons of normals, etc) in compressed files thru e-mail. Don't know anything else about compressed files, but thought it might be worth checking out.

Getting a new computer and need to transfer Shorthand...sm

File Transfer Questions
I work with C-phone for dictation - internet for transcription. Is it possible to dial into the C-phone and transfer the voice to a file on the computer, simulating voice file. All suggestions for software conversions available, would be greatly appreciated. Please email to aloha2@yaho.com.
...(I better stop this.)..instructions to transfer
s
FTP is File Transfer Protocol.
It is a method of sending files between two computers that requires a software program to accomplish the task. Think of it like Windows Explorer to move files between computers.
You need to have a server that acts as a holder where files can be uploaded to and downloaded from by parties who have access to that specific site, identified by their ISP numbers and not a name (like mtstars.com).
I use mydocsonline for the doctor to transfer - sm
their digital files. They get on the internet, log into the mydocsonline website, and use their log in then use the "download assistant" which will transfer the files from their computer to the website. Very simple, they have no problem with it and most of the ladies their are computer challenged as well. It is totally secure too. Then the site emails you that you have files waiting, which is nice so you don't have to keep checking it. Then you can retreive them the same way or set up a network/WebDAV on your computer which is also secure. Metroscript does the same thing, but is a little more expensive. Have fun.
BUY IT!! YES YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TRANSFER YOUR AUTOCORRECT ENTRIES!! SM
go with the best, Instant Text or Shorthand, and you will be able to transfer anything you have now into their system.
go to www.productivitytalk.com for step by step instructions and more than info than you think you will ever need!
File transfer suggestions
I currently do a small amount of transcription for a doctor's office and have been using Novuscript to transfer files and dictation. Does anyone have any suggestions that might be less expensive that are HIPAA compliant for file transfer and dictation transfer.
Secure documentation transfer
Hi, I'm a medical transcriptionist/medical information technologist of a small MTSO called ScriptExcellence. I use "ScriptWave" for my workflow management/secure data transmission between the clients and myself and my subcontracted transcriptionists. The program was designed by my program developer brother, and my service has used it for two years with great success and low cost. If you'd like more information, check out the site at www.scriptwave.net. Best wishes to you!
