Hosp/Clinic - University teaching hosp
hosp
Alot of time the hospitals have their own at home people. I don't think they would have a list as i worked at one and the girls that actually worked at the hospital picked up the docs on the side.
sorry for your troubles but...every VA Hosp..s/m
every VA hospital and every veteran here in the USA will tell you the same, 6 months to get seen, to get a CAT scan, et al......in THIS country, they treat our vets TERRIBLY!! Not just the vets either - the people who helped during 9/11 and down at Ground Zero are being refused treatment in this country.........
Again, see SICKO........by Michael Moore...whether you like him, his movies, or not.........this one is important!
Just 1 in 12 yrs. 1 other was teaching hosp, I was
one department's Transcriptionist for 2 years.
Yes, came from hosp. If was co. policy, they

A hosp I worked for did that and I loved it.
Let me know it was possible to reach for more.
Use it as a learning tool and, as another poster states, to help you be more competitive.
Had one like that at Bakerfield Hosp. just awful nm

My hosp. kept assuring the MTs they were NOT offshoring

I think if MT went back to each individual hosp, and NOT MT co's,
Is this Kaiser nationwide or a particular hosp?

Millinium RadNet? My Hosp is switching...any help? SM
We currently transcribe in Word from Lanier VoiceWrite and send via VPN. I've been informed we're switching to Cerner Millinium RadNet the first of January. The people inside don't seem too worried and don't know much about this system. Does anyone have a clue for me? I need to know what I'm getting into here. Any and all help will be appreciated ! !
Hosp perdiem interview tomorrow! SM
I'm hoping someone will be able to advise me about some good questions to ask of the HR person of a hospital in my hometown; it's really hard for me to be objective about this decision because I want so much to leave the city where I'm living right now. I go back and forth trying to decide if I should even try this. First of all, this job was advertised as "per diem" -- forgive my ignorance, but would that be the same as a contract position? I had trouble once before making a living doing at-home MTing as an IC and paying my own health and life insurance, as I'm 100% supporting myself. It was certainly a shock after employee status--but I was so burned out at that inhouse job--transcription force cut in half, pay reduced, phasing out dictation in favor of computer templates! I took a chance even though I had an unrealistic belief in my own abilities, I'm afraid, and tried IC for a national company. I'm not working at all right now and am currently living on my savings.
I feel like something, anything would be better than nothing. Some foot/ankle problems also, related to standing at the last clerical job I tried, so a lot of even part-time jobs are out of the question at the present.
I do have some family at home and this hospital has a very good reputation as a good place to work, good (happy) employees...but, of course, don't want to move and still risk getting in an impossible position again! Please let me know of some good questions to ask during the "assessment" and interview Friday AM (tomorrow)! Sorry; realize this is rambling--many thanks--
Same hosp since 1987; changed MTSOs and I followed. nm

Ours do - hosp. is considering having our x-rays done here, but READ in India! (nm)

hosp acute care dictations..please sm
Are hospital dictations difficult to type? I have always typed various specialities for clinics. The company I just started working for lost the account I was hired for. They did offer me a position to type for the hospital dictations. Do you think it will be a rough transition for me? Any advice please! Thanks. 
Also, I work a set schedule w/the hosp but the online co
hours are more flexible (because I'm IC status). I took out my own health insurance, so I'm not bound to any company, just in case.
Hosp not right but bottom line was with CIGNA.

That's ok, you now have a new hosp oppty and closer to home too -nm
Many local hosp and agencies are starting to pay attention
The hospital I work at has started classes and counseling and support groups for adult children who are primary caregivers for elderly adults. If you can find some local social service agencies who have these kinds of programs, many of them can put your mom on some kind of state aid for her health care, help you with paperwork, and provide an occasional "atta girl" and some smiling, supportive faces. Sounds like your sibs aren't there for you. You mom could even qualify for some adult day care, which opens up SO much communication about resources and help. Please think about searching this out. I'm sure your husband and child need you terribly, and you should not bear this financial burden alone. Check with a social services department at a local hospital, and KEEP PUSHING IF YOU DON'T GET IMMEDIATE RESPONSE> Some of these places are so busy. But find and knock and push to find some answers to take the strain off you, and your mom. There are resources out there for you! You aren't alone, but it doesn't get better for you, till you FIND them.
You'll just have to ignore your siblings. They don't sound like they're worth much.
I use ASS for Assessment, and wimp for Impression for one hosp that starts with a "w".

Math whiz needed on hosp/clinic board
ty
Yes, it does. My hosp is typing in MOX, we lost Word many years ago due to cost.
Good luck!
She'll be lucky to get regular OT, never mind double. For big bucks, she should stick w/hosp. wor

nm would you mind if I asked where you work and what type of work hosp, clinic ?

It's THEIR dictation. They want what THEY are
dictating. If they use poor grammar, etc., that's not the MT's fault!!
Many don't trust the MT to make appropriate corrections and I can certainly understand that.
dictation by doc's
you're absolute right about the hospitals doing something about how doctors dictate and it probably wouldn't take that much effort to do it, but they're not going to do it. If the dictation is wrong, the MT will get the blame regardless.
low dictation
This is several hours of time just disappearing.
? min. of dictation per day
What is considered the average amount of minutes for 7.5 hour day. I'm thinking 45 to 60 minutes???
PA dictation
You must be lucky! Our group had two PA's and they literally "outdid" each other to see who could dictate the fastest. I got used to them, of course, listening to them all the time but many times had to stop and look up a med to be sure of the dosage because I couldn't tell if they were dictating 5 mg. 50 mg. or whatever! They seem to have an "attitude" too; we had one female one who really thought she was hot stuff. If they were that good, why didn't they spend the extra time and $$ to go to med school???
RE; Dictation
Kept forever. Chart is microfilmed and kept. Regular transcription is kept for 10 years supposedly at hospital I worked for.
I just had a dictation where
he stopped dictating mid sentence in the chief complaint and I Iistened to silence for about seven minutes (maybe he fell asleep, I dunno) and then he says, "hello? hello?" and hangs up!  Gotta luv this job! 
60 min of dictation
How long should it take someone to do about 60 minutes of dictation on average.
Thanks you.
60 min of dictation?
My own personal average is about 1 hour for each 15 minutes of dictation.
Can't help with the dictation but...
 LOVE YA!
Hope that helped.
Dictation
The problem is that MTs are rarely in the workplace any longer. When I originally started in transcription years ago, we were in-house and accessible to the doctors. I would tell the the speeders to slow down. We had one ER doc who loved to look through reference books for words to use. I would tell him nicely, "If you have to look it up, spell it and save both of us the hassle." That usually worked. But now, most of the time, they have no idea who is transcribing their work and as long as it gets done, that's all they care about.
Ever think that maybe 15% is going to QA because of LOUSY DICTATION? nm

You never listened to the dictation to know.
No, decent dictators can form complete sentences. They don't erase every single word interlaced with ah, um, er, then sit there so long that a 15 minute dictation only has 43 lines. If a person can't complain about having a bad day to her fellow MTs without getting jumped on, what does that say about your personality? The only B**** I see here is YOU.
Same here. Give me the dictation, I do it - sm
I return the reports, give me the money. End of story.
Worrying about a friendly supervisor is pointless. Just do the work and take the money.
80-100 minutes of dictation
Can anyone tell me approximately how long 80-100 minutes of dictation takes to do with variables I know of a good or bad dictator but on average. A 60 minute microcassette tape on both sides of 120 minutes, is that something to compare this to? Thank you.
235 seconds of dictation...sm
and less than 20 lines!!!!  And he ends the dictation at 200 seconds, then proceeds to shuffle papers and say "end dictation" 50 times...come on already, END THE DICTATION! No respect! 
re:243 seconds of dictation
I actually have a picture of my cat laying on my Dorland's sound asleep...he was looking for the definition of "uhmm"
Bad quality dictation
What in heavens name do you do after starting work with a company and the dictation is so lousy qualitywise with static and the voice fading in and out. Is this normal? Left lines in every report. ??? Help?
Dumb dictation
Review of systems was not obtainable from the baby, obviously, due to the baby's age of one month. Review was obtained from parents. DUH!!!!
dumb dictation
Don't you just love these..I had one with the 11 MO understanding the assessment and agrees with the treatment!
Specialty dictation
Just wondering how many lines within 8 hours do you "speciality" transcriptionists type? Not acute care, not SOAP notes, just the specialty accounts?
I type for 11 different specialities that just feed into my "pool" of dictation randomly and am lucky to accomplish 1000 to 1200 lines within 8 hours -- any suggestions on how I can increase this number of lines would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, it wasn't in his dictation, it was an aside to his PA sm
I think he just had never seen that size before, nothing indecent intended.
I don't think it's the dictation itself that's the problem, it's the SM
kissing of individual arses and making 300 MTs remember which cheek you're supposed to kiss on Doc A and which on Doc B. :(
