I think this is a noble cause/effort but it will

It is about money.
It costs less for businesses (nationals, small MTSOs, hospitals) to send their transcription overseas. Less costs to business relate to less costs to consumers and more insurance profits.
When it fails, and it will, all of you will be more angry, more upset, and feel more cheated.

Without too much effort?! A good yard sale takes a good deal of effort, IMO.

No, I wish. I actually grew up in Noble. sm
but I worked at the hospital in Norman for years. I wish I was still in that area. I loved it.
That is a noble thing, I believe . To serve for
I started in the early 80s and worked my way through college, and decided to keep with it rather than go for my intended job in the liberal arts. I have never been sorry. I have always been inspired. From steno pad to manual typewriter, and rolling fax machines. From white out to voice editing, I still believe it to be a noble profession. Good for you!
I took a Barnes & Noble University course recently about
simplifying your life. It wasn't so much about uncluttering your house as it was about finding your inner happiness. Amazingly, it worked. I excavated the junk out of the house and we did some quickie painting and swapping out furniture. Then I quit all the part-time, temp jobs, and volunteer obligations that did not give me fulfillment. I took all that energy and sunk it into my MT work AND my life's dream. It's amazing how much better things are going since I don't have all those other things in my life. I have time for hobbies, I'm making decent money at MT for the first time ever, and I don't have to search the job ads for "something better" any longer.
Barnes and Noble or any other book stores where you
can sit and have a cup of coffee and look at the books. I am single too right now but not really looking but if I were, Barnes and Noble or the library. Also, I have found that when I am not looking at all, I meet somebody. Good look!!!
Barnes & Noble has cake magazines
in their wedding magazine section. It is a bit pricey for a small magazine (about $10) but they have pictures of every kind of cake you could possibly imagine! From the simple & traditional, to off-the-wall unique & creative. This is where I found the design for my wedding cake. 
Only if you want..its all about attitude and effort.
Not worth the effort - probably
But if you do it, target carefully and always follow up the letter with a phone call.
(call first and find out the name of the person/administrator who would consider your letter) then call that person back.
And maybe you both should pur forth a little effort little nicer in the AM. What I said was
at being a little bit nicer in the AM. What I said was possible Adware. What a sally that you think I would allow that type of trash to rear its ugly head on any of my PCs. NO NO NO. I have far more superior PC knowledge than to allow that to happen to me, but I have received e-mails from others who visit this site and are perturbed by it.
My post was for the benefit of MTs who have little or no knowledge regarding safeguarding their PCs and are not afraid to ask for help.
Therefore, if this does not apply to you, MYOB. NO need for argumentative posts, nor do I have the time for those who are habitally and perennially in that simple-minded mindset.
Have a great day all!
If you aren't willing to make any effort
to get the information you need ("no patience", indeed), then why should anyone take time from their own lives to do your research for you? You're the one who wants the answer. Do your own work.
If everyone wanted to make a little effort...
And take an area to call, I bet the information could be obtained from the hospitals, etc. There is no reason you couldn't call and say you are considering a procedure/doc there and want to ensure your private information is secure and you would like to know if their billing/transcription is done in-house, outsourced or both, and if outsourced, to whom. I have received answers, but sometimes I have had to make a few more calls.
Isolation-bad...it takes a lot of effort. Do you have
a window nearby? I put a bird feeder that suctions to the window so at least in the nice weather I can watch the birds. The huge blue jays come right to the window and it is funny to watch. I also play the TV in the other room but I can hear it and I do not feel so alone.
I play guitar so that has helped me (saved me actually) a lot. Do you have any other interests, say like knitting or anything?
Because I also have SAD I turn all the lights on now on the gloomy days, that helps a lot.
Do you have any pets? We even had a goldfish that brought me a lot of happiness believe it or not (until he died and now he is in my plant!). They can be relaxing to watch in a decent sized bowl.
Lastly, of course, do you exercise? Walking releases your body's own natural tranquilizer, the endorphins, 20 minutes 3 times/week, or even in your house.
I also picked up Suzanne Somer's EZ Gym and use that occasionally in between real
"abusive" dictations.
Best to you,
Effort is not enough...c'mon, brud plessure??? nm

What a shame. All that time and effort for HIPAA regs, but not for this. (nm)

What an incredibly fruitless effort. People, you need to realize
The chance to have done something has long since come and gone. Just give it up.
A big waste of effort and money. You won't make 1 penny more.
