they are perfect (maybe this will never happen), then VR replaces us. Duh?
How can this be an incentive for MTs?

They train online, right? That means they train

I don't know about other systems.
I use Express Scribe sometimes but I only work on eScription. I know with a connection that slow you aren't going to be able to use EditScript. I think that the only way you are going to be able to get around that, if you are doing strictly QA, is to use EMON and not use EditScript, although I'm not sure you'll be able to get the voice file to download that way either.
I don't know if different VR systems
But, I have been doing VR for only a month, and I have noticed that the system DOES learn. Mistakes that it made before or phrases it didn't pick up before, it is now getting much better. I used to not want to believe it, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that it will only be a matter of time before it replaces MTs. Since I have over another 30 years in whatever career I choose, I have decided to get out. No sense in going down a road that leads to nowhere.
I have wireless for 3 systems but I believe you
will have to have DSL coming in on a router. From my understanding (and goodness knows I could be wrong) I don't think you can have "wireless" internet without a router from another source. The router is attached to your phone line for DSL and sends out the signal for other wireless adaptors to pickup.
Dictation Systems
I'm looking at going from the good ol' tapes to digital dictation. What is the best choice for the $$?
Thank you
Dictation systems
Can anyone recommend any good Internet based call in phone systems for doctors to utilize without spending a lot of money on phone line based/computer systems. Thanks
Reminds me of systems
I've worked on that used Citrix; not being computer savvy, I don't know if they called it a Citrix server or what, but apparently it was a company that they used for some part of the process, and it was not compatible with the software. They I think they had to switch to some other company to speed things up.
That should be about as clear as mud. Sorry.
How about under classification systems in
AAMT BOS(assuming you have this/if not, you can get free through MQ). Hope this helps!
Call-in systems
I've tried out 4 so far. What are the good/bad points of the system you are using?
Thanks!
digital systems
I would go with a DVR and have the docs load it on their computer. Sounds great!
Are systems capitalized in ROS?
no msg
Some companies' systems are not
compatible with the "new" software, just like a lot do not use Vista. You have to buy what is required to work.
How hard is it to network 2 systems
I would like these 2 systems to talk with each other and have no idea of how to do it?
Systems are not down for long these days.

Call-in phone systems
What is the best call in phone system out there. I do not want call in on tapes though. I appreciate your input. Deb
So right about the Huge Health Systems - sm
in fact, that was 99.9% of the problem at my hospital. Once it got gobbled by a greedy HMO, everything went downhill fast. They got their fancy new campus at the expense of quality medical care and ethical treatment of its employees.
The run-'em-in and run-'em-out style of practicing medicine puts a lot of pressure on the MDs to see patients quickly, but it's SO not thorough! I saw this not only in the rushed, often mistake-filled reports they dictated, but in my own care as well. They lost a lot of their top-notch MDs because they refused to practice that superficial style of 'Mc Medicine'.
When I see all the greed in the HMOs, and the overspending on upper management and not enough on the nuts-and-bolts of what makes a good hospital, it's easy to see that although they're high-on-the-hog right now, alot of those pompous U-no-whats are riding for a BIG fall someday. I hope I'm still around to see it - it'll make my day.
Rosemarie is right on for trained VR systems. SM
You are obviously currently working with a new system that is still learning how to do its job. The first typewriters were undoubtedly really a pain to use, too. The poor clerks of those days must have begged just to be allowed to use their pen and ink as they always had.
My current system isn't as learned/advanced as my last one, so lots of corrections. It's about as much fun as doing QA cleaning up after a pack of new and sloppy MTs. But it's a temporary situation. And my current pay rate reflects the time needed for all those corrections. Does yours?
Over time, though, more and more reports do start coming through in good condition until most of them just require some general cleanup here and there.
Editing does shift emphasis from one skill to another.
I can see how the very fastest of typists might not make more editing than typing--they always speeded the dictation up to match them, and how people with little talent for editing might make less, but most people should do just as well editing as typing and many do make more at it.
Nuance or OPUS systems
Is anyone out there in transcription land familiar with either of these systems? I'm starting work for a new client (Pathology) and find them inefficient and require too much non-transcription work to look up doctor's names and demographics. I'm wondering if I'm missing "something". Thank you to anyone who can give me a clue. d
voice reginition systems
If you get dragon and have it listen to the dss files that come in will it automatically start typing the doctors dictation or does it have to be the same voice over and over?
Dictation systems - all input welcome
Hi. Please let me know if I should post this on a different board. The hospital I work for is looking to change dictating/transcribing systems. We have dictaphone extext and are looking at WinScribe, Escription, or really we are wide open.
Does anyone know of a good internet resource that compares the pros and cons?
Would any of you be willing to share your experience, good or bad, with any software you have used?
Is there a forum or a thread that has already covered this you can direct me to to research?
TIA!
Brinker Information Systems
Has anyone heard of Brinker Information Systems, LLC? I can't seem to find them on the web or anywhere. They are based out of Center City, MN. They have sent me papers to be faxed to them for IC work, but they did not ask me to test for them or anything. I am leary to send them anything. If anyone knows anything it would be helpful.
Brinker Information Systems
I am in the same situation. I would like some information too if anybody has some. Thanks
Front-end/back-end systems...
"Front-end" SR means that the original dictator's speech is turned into text. "Back-end" SR means that someone listens to the original dictator, redictating and "cleaning up" the original dication. This "sanitized" redictation is then fed into the SR engine.
The main disadvantage of "front-end" systems in the healthcare setting is that they must try to adapt to the speech peculiarities of many different dictators, whereas a "back-end" system only has to deal with the speech patterns of one dictator, namely the person who does the redictation.
Back-end dictation adds a layer of human intelligence to the conversion of speech to text because the person redictating presumably catches errors, eliminates hesitations and miscues, squares up ambiguous sentence structures, etc. - things that front-end dictation cannot do or does very poorly. As such, while the back-end speech engine might still cause some errors that require keyboard correction, there should not be nearly as many as front-end systems produce. And, a back-end SR application can be less sophisticated than a front-end system because it is not being required to deal with so many vagaries of human speech. In fact, a back-end SR application does not need artificial intelligence at all, whereas front-end SR really does.

Typing and backwards, what systems do you use?

Point of Care systems
Anyone here had experience with doctors going to Point of Care systems (Pulse)? My doctors are trying this now and I'm wondering if it will be too difficult and time consuming for them. Sure is cutting way back on my work. Thanks. Teri.
Point of Care Systems
It's my own account. They use the Pulse EHR.
can't she just do a systems restore to the day before she downloaded it? nm

Yes, the icon is in the systems tray. nm

train
I have done "Chicago" on the train. From here, MS, its an all night ride but has sleeper cars. Nothing interesting to see on the way. But as corny as it sounds, Chicago is a great place to visit. Zillions of Museums, fountains, outdoor art, great music, great transit system, ghettos, SUUPPPER shopping, fantastic restaurants........We did they family thing when I was 9, 11, 12, 14 and I did it bymyself when I was 21 going into my senion year of college. Coming back with on the train with the college crew was a hoot. Spirit of New Orleans is pretty cool, however, N/O is really not children friendly - a lot to see and do in the daytime, but the kiddies need to be in by dark.....Ahhhheeeeeee O TA
To train VR
That is pretty scary. I have been curious about VR - wondering how it really works. If the doctor is doing the dictating, how can the Transcriptionist ever get it really trained? Doesn't the doctor actually have to train the program? I do one doctor as a side line from my full-time transcription job and was wondering if that is something I would want to use for his work. When I saw Dragon Program at Best Buy, the box said it would type it at about 160 lph. Is that true? If so, not so hot as I type faster than that. However, in the future, I may want to save my arms/carpals and use it. So am curious to know more from someone who has used the programs. If adviseable, what programs are the best ones?
TIA
about to train soon
so I don't know any hot keys for this program yet, I worked on Meditech before this and DocQScribe before that. I'll give it a little while to get it down, hopefully it won't take that long
Prison systems in this state use in-house MTs, I am almost certain of.

They have always done well by me. I don't trust the computer phone systems. sm
If my computer goes out, them my phone goes out and how will I call them? I prefer to have my eggs in several baskets. Computer and TV cable on the same line. Phone on a land line, Verizon.
You can still buy some computers with the choice of operating systems.
I know for a fact that you can do this on the Dell website, although not all models offer that option. Your best bet is to find someone who can buy a computer that does what you need it do to, no more and no less. That way you can pay for only what you want/need.
I need some advice on digital dictation systems
I am talking to a psychotherapist about possibly doing her transcription. She does not dictate presently, but is interested in getting started. I am thinking of asking her to go digital, but I don't know the first thing about getting started, what equipment we'll need, etc. I currently work for a national, so they sent me the PC and footpedal, and that was it. Any advice would be so appreciated. I don't wanna sound like a dummy when we talk...thanks y'all!
Had to train my male (sm)
Started by keeping the box really clean with that nice scooping sand that they like. Then I would walk over to the box and say, here kitty, and invite him to go in.
After his pee pee in the box, he gets a treat!
We still have an occasional problem, but only when the box is dirty. The pee pee in the corner means he doesn't like that dirty box!
Been married 29 yrs, get more now than ever but I say it took me 18 yrs to train to where he knows
:O
I know they are in NJ. You have to train for a long
times - weeks?? - in the office. They have super long testing, and I remember one person, the owner, I believe, was very nice to deal with, while the testing person was horrible. In this day and age, I certainly don't have time to drive 4 hours round trip for a week or 2 to train! Told them "no thanks"!!
WOW, look at your train of thought. All sm
evil wrongdoers ----------------- right? Why don't you throw in the adulter, the priest pedophile ---------- and the bigamist, the serial killer. Do you know any gays? I would hazard a guess and say no. I hope I am wrong. But then again you probably know some and just don't KNOW that they are gay-they are too busy HIDING from judgemental dogoders like yourself who demand gays live the lie to suit the society that worships the almighty dollar and war instead of each other. Are you against violence films depicting killing or only films which depicting loving individuals and their problems? Please respond, I am really interested in this. I used to think like you a lifetime ago but having a gay relative opened my eyes to a lot of stuff hopefully you will never see-having a loved one lie for 25 years about who he really is and die from a horrid disease alone because people couldn't handle the truth. A death most robber, thieves, serial killers and rapists deserve but don't get as they get fat in prison on my money.
Again, its because you did not properly train him!!

There were train bombings in
and I do not feel India is secure at all, let alone for medical records. But I have noticed a lot of bashing of American MTs here lately. I don't understand why. Just because one MT is not reliable, that doesn't mean we all are. It just seems to be the thing to do. Also, it said as low as 9 CPL. Well I would transcribe for and do at 9 cpl with over 20 years experience. We are not necessarily more expensive, just the service overhead jacks up the price so much for their big CEO salaries and benefits, they don't want to pay the MT much.
Why are companies willing to train
offshore MTs but refuse to hire American entry level/new grad MTs?
Hold the train, here!
You actually feel justified to stoop to this level of vile hatred against Tinks personally?
Not nice, not nice at all.
Don't have to train them - they've already taken it
Editing their work is nothing like transcribing it from scratch. I just do the bare bones basics (look up patient info, correct obvious grammar errors, spell check, etc.). I work for a large department in a large medical college, and if they don't care, why should I? I'm in it for the 26+ years of benefits I've accrued, and I'm not leaving until they force me out. On the other hand, I have a second part-time REAL transcription job that keeps me very happy. It doesn't pay nearly as well, but I get a huge amount of satisfaction from this job.
