You are a perfect examply of why MTs are losing their jobs. Ignorance in the MT field has become more and more widespread in this country WITHOUT leaving the United States.

DocShuttle and EMRs
I'm just trying to find out if anyone has used DocShuttle Word files to merge with clients EMRs? If so, how does this work? Who pays for the interface? Who sets it up? Thank you!

Questions about EMRs and transcription integration
Hi everyone! I am trying to understand EMR and where transcriptionists fit in, if at all. I see a lot of TASPs that claim they can be integrated with EMR systems. I have no idea what this means. I've even called them and they can't explain it to me. My impression is that EMRs work like big databases with fields that you fill in with information, but I've never actually seen one so I'm not sure. Do any transcriptionists work on an EMR-type systems or know anything about them?

Thanks for the info.

Dont you think though as thing move in that direction which they already are in EMRs that little by
little jobs will be lost and hospitals will take over more of their transcription work with VR and EMR. I would think that it will be that way.

EMRs already in place and working well in larger institutions
The midsize MTSO I edit for uses an internet-based transcription system. Our programmers re-wrote some of our proprietary software so we could interface with one of our clients' (university hospital) EMR system. What it amounts to for us is that the dictator now dictates only the objective portion of the procedure/op note or followup note. The demographics, history, etc., are already in the record. In other words, what used to be a 150-line job is now less than 50.

Get a Grip

Receiving your pay 30 days after you provided work isn't a problem for you? I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly couldn't wait 30 days. On top of that, when they begin to pay you every 2 weeks - they pay you for work you did 4 weeks prior. You forgot to tell them that part! Breitner is NOT a good place to work --- unless you don't need money and only work for the heck of it!

get a grip!!!!!
Yes, we have all seen on the news where that has happened. usually it is because there is something wrong with the dog like a tumor or something. Some breeds of dogs are also very aggressive. I think that if you choose a good breed that is good with kids and train them correctly and treat them with love, you are pretty safe. i have been around dogs all my life, even as a young child and have never even been bitten by a dog once!!!

Seriously!!! Get a grip.

"Me" is right.

get a grip...
She asked for some tips. Just wanted other peoples advice of how to go about doing this and what would some of the best points be to go into. You try giving a speech to a bunch of high school kids. Harder than you may think I am sure. What is the harm in someone asking for pointers?

You must not have a grip to be a tad rude by
saying get a grip people. I still do not believe it. Show me the money and only then will I believe it. Also, when I get offered more than 6-9 cpl for straight transcription will I believe it.

grip? lol you mean "gripe"? lol
?

let her decide. she already has a grip on
the passing away part but that doesn't mean she is ready for the open casket and long viewing hours at the funeral home. this way she can still picture grandma how she was and not in the casket which can be a little unsettling for adults sometime. if she wants you guys to take her to the grave site sometime to say her goodbyes then take her. i remember writing a so called goodbye letter to my grandfather when i was a kid telling him about all of the things i'll always remember and loved about him. that way i was able to get out my feelings and i still have something to look back and read so i'll never lose my (all of it anyway) memory of him.

Was probably thinking she needs to "get a grip," too.

I'd say you need a grip. This is exactly why fewer MTs are commenting on here
They get blasted and basically reprimanded for giving an opinion. How about some common courtesy.

yeh, we have to have a tight grip on our social graces

We'll start walking around wanting to backhand everyone who looks at us sideways.

help on word board grip strength

Oh get a grip!! This is an open forum for ANYONE not just working MTs.

I'm OK! I got a grip and went back down to wait for the Limo! I am not reading ANY more of
"those" posts! Nope! Notta one!

How long would you say it takes to get a decent grip on them. I do have samples already I have read
over and they arent hard but I havent heard the voices yet.
