iChart...is this a good or bad platform to work on?
Any info appreciated. I have never worked on this platform. TIA
Yes, IT V Pro will work with Futurenet.
Please see the link below for more information.
iChart
New user to Dictaphone ExText. Can someone tell me how to use iChart for my own personal line count? (I do have my user & password, but not much else).
ichart
Yes, I guess it is an ongoing problem with Dictaphone. I have not idea how many lines I have since 2/4/07...I haven't had any line counts at all since then!!
Ichart
Ichart is just the line counting portion of ExText. It is on the Dictaphone site.
? re ExText and ichart
It's been about 7 years since I worked with ExText and have applied somewhere that uses ExText ichart. Is that a new component of ExText? Could someone please clarify for me? Thanks
iChart/Word Client
Hi all. I was wondering if anyone knows how to save the ESP file (expanders) in Word Client so I can transfer it to another software platform? My company is switching platforms and without being able to save and transfer my ESP file, I will have to completely rebuild my Expanders from scratch. Help please!!!!!! 
iChart for radiology...good, bad?

They are having problems with the Ichart website today

Futurenet
they are WONDERFUL...treat you with respect and dignity.
futurenet
what is there web site???
FutureNet
Does anybody know anything about FutureNet? Good or bad.
Futurenet.
Good = pay well and on time.
Bad = only have DD if you live in certain areas. Otherwise you get it in the mail or pay $20 to get it overnighted.
Bad = more ESLs than you can shake a stick at.
Good = excellent program.
Bad = some really rude QA.
Bad = no bennies whatsoever unless you live in CA.
There's some good and bad, but so are most places.
FutureNet
Is FutureNet hiring now?
futurenet
Do you know what happened to futurenet. I worked for them and we always had tons of work and now it seems like there is never any work. Did they overhire or just lose accounts.
Futurenet
I used to work for them before getting my own account. I worked for them for a year and a half. E-mail me with any direction questions.
futurenet
I have accepted an IC position at futurenet. First, are they picking up on work?
Next, what about the Wavpedal? They said Dictran USB WavPedal. The price on that is around 219.00; is that an average price. I was shocked. This is the first time I have done IC in a long time.
Thanks!
Futurenet answers...sm
Good - Pay is on time and correct. Schedule is very,very flexible. Pay per line is better than most. Great format and program.
Bad - Work for the past several months is very, very hard to get. They have overhired EXTREMELY on most accounts and pay day has been about 1/6 of what it once was. No benefits whatsoever. Direct deposit ONLY if you sign up as SE (but then that cuts out all you can claim on your taxes as IC), many, many ESLs which some are very, very bad. QA is rude. If you don't do the DD, you have to pay $25.00 for UPS to overnight or just wait until regular mail delivers it and depending on where you are that may be several extra days.
These are just my experiences.
Sounds like futurenet

When I worked for FutureNet
They charged me $25 a paycheck to get it overnighted.
Instant Text V Pro works with Futurenet
IT V Pro is an Expander program that works with Futurenet and you can import your abbreviation lists from other programs into IT.
Please see the link below for more information on IT V Pro.
Mary Patterson is with Futurenet in Monrovia, CA.

I agree. I have a friend who works for Futurenet. SM
They only direct deposit certain people, no rhyme or reason for it. She has her check overnighted every pay day, which costs her $50.00 a month. It was supposed to have been delivered 12/23, but it got hung up in one of the terminals. She won't get it until tomorrow, 12/27, not in time for Christmas. It's just really bad business. I would never work for a company that did not offer DD.
Superior Global Solutions and Futurenet...sm
I heard Superior Global Solutions does not get your pay to you. Futurenet, I have read here does not have any benefits and runs out of work. Also here are a few other bad ones I have seen and read on here: SoftScript, Spheris, and good/bad about Transcend.
The good ones in which I have read have been all of the MDIs. Have not had any experience with them though..Good luck!
When I worked for FutureNet 2 years ago they used but they loaded it themselves. nm
//
FutureNet --- treating me like the highly skilled professional I am.
you can apply on their web site. they sought me out... grape vine told them i was hating MQ --
only downside... no benefits, gotta be SE... it's what MQ was going to do to me anyway, so no big loss..
I get my work from an FTP site that they load the work to, however I don't have pool work so to
speak, but I tell them how many minutes a day I want. The work is generally put in my box by 5 pm every day, then I have until 10 am the following day for some priority work, or 3:30 pm for the rest, so TAT is not too bad. I would like to work less at night though, but I working on that. My downside is I do not get the same dictators day to day, there are a few I do on a semi-regular basis though, some generate great lines but take longer to do that other doc's and are not "money-makers", I also do not get paid for spaces so that hurts a bit too. This is WP5.1 too.....so very antiquated but that is what the hospital uses, so not much choice there. But I understand what you mean about the C-phone. I was just doing another job with C-phone recently...they incidentally did not tell me how to get off of the system, which was very simple. I'd finish a job, then hit stop and hangup if I wanted to get off or quit working. That is what you need to do if you want to sleep, eat, etc. Don't feel guilty, do what you signed up for, believe me they watch the pools and will get others to do the work you don't finish. If they get on your case remind them that you are only PT and only want 500 lines a day, etc. It's not worth killing yourself over. Good Luck. 
You go by your schedule and have no work. Everytime I get on to work, there is always work.

Then you would have no life at all except work, work, work if you did that. I wouldn't do it. nm
.
Same thing with nationals. You work all the time to keep the account caught up when others dont work
and then when they decide to put a whole lot of extra people on your accounts and run you out they could care less about how much you worked.
Have a hospital I work for and they consistently change work types and do line counts. (sm)
Management just doesn't understand in order to crank out the work you need to be proficient by typing the same accounts. Go figure, they just don't get it ??
Usually work "live" on a Cphone, while connected. There are ways to record & work off line, bu
s
steady work...gearing up to start new account....but there was no work on Tues as it was a holiday
Be patient with your eyes open....
I work for Warminster at MQ and I am sick to death of being jerked around with no work all the time.
I would like a job where I can depend on the work and it does not seem to be in this office of MQ.
Speaking of offshoring MT work, who does not directly send work offshore?
Just curious. Has anyone got a list of companies who do not send work offshore? Precyse? MQ? Spheris?
Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.
Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.

Before needing to work, I did volunteer work through the Junior League where I am from in Texas. lm
Junior League was like a full-time job sometimes, but I loved it. Now that I have to work, even though it is from home, I still volunteer through my son's school. I am a school teacher in my previous (pre-MT) life, so I volunteer my tutoring services for children who need the help beyond what the schools are able to provide but whose parents cannot afford to pay for private tutoring. I also know how you felt about being afraid. I was strangely afraid before I joined the Junior League. It was just the unknown. But I was SO blessed by being able to help. Honestly, I am sure that it helped me just as much, if not more, than I helped others. Go for it. You won't be sorry. (Just remember that you have to say NO when you have to say no, okay? Remember that and you will be richly blessed by the experience!)
nm would you mind if I asked where you work and what type of work hosp, clinic ?

All I know is it caused the company I work for to be unable to do all work due today and the rest
:+
Just return the work, submit your bill, the scurry and find more work elsewhere. sm
They will never meet with you before next week. It is Thursday, already. Be prepared to sue for payment, because you will probably need to. But, most of all, find other work elsewhere, because I have a feeling this final payment will be a long time coming.
I work on Escription platform and the adapter didnt work for me. I tried it on my laptop though
and the foot pedal would just not play correctly with the adapter. I think others have tried it and done it but it just didnt work for me.
IC sets their own hours. As long as the work is done by the deadline, you decide when to work.
Glad I work somewhere where you cannot cherrypick....our work is divvied out by minutes and - sm
the office manager (who does not normally transcribe) dishes out the work, so some days are easy, others are a mix. So no cherrypicking is possible. You type up what is given to you, period. She will alternate the tough one's out so no one person gets him/her all the time unless they want him/her and are used to that doc, or everyone gets a little piece, etc. There are days when I ask for easy work (tired, chemo day, Jen sick, or a lot going on, etc.) but not often, generally I get a mix but they all get easier the more you do them. I am not working as much as I should be of course, every week is different here so I adjust my limited work schedule accordingly, so sometimes it hard to get better at certain docs. I used to have a lot of blanks with the Trauma ER unit, but I have been doing that a lot lately and now and very good at it, still a time consuming account but at least I am improving. ----------------------- But I believe the OP was stating she did it to clear out the log, not to make more lines, and only when she was asked to do so. At an old job I had #s meant everything, everyday we would get report (2=4 x a day) of the backlog, and emails pleading us to work, work, work. The QA rules sucked  (MQ probably is basing their new plan loosly on this one), however we did not get penalized, just chewed out if you sent in too much work to QA (over 5%, and was 80% ESL), I would imagine eventually fired if you continued to do it. They were a great place to work for until they re-organized....it all went downhill from there. This is why I prefer smaller MTSOs, it's not all about the #s, yes, they want production too but at least it's not so cut-throat.
i used to work for a company that divided the work types up and i loved it. sm
there were only 4 of us working a major teaching hospital. someone was assigned surgery, different assigned discharges, different admits, etc. we all had the backup work type in case the original assignee wasn't available and were cross trained. it made us much more efficient, ability to get used to dictators, set macros, and in the long run we were all much happier.
Used to work in Cooperstown, NY - and on the way to work is a huge turkey farm
It made me never want to eat turkey again - seeing them all cramped up against the fence and cages, packed tightly, no room to move. Actually, it made me want to do some harm to the farmer who found this acceptable.
Do not work for Amherst if you can work for any other office in MQ. It is terrible. They overload
accounts terribly. We are always running out of work or need to have 8 or 9 backups to get lines in. This is the way it is. There may be a few out there that it is different but I do acute care and was just transferred there along with my office and everyone in my office is in the same boat. Not a good deal at all.
An MQ recruiter told me yesterday if work is low they "cut off" the work
SEs are doing it. She also told me that it is written in MQ policies
that MQ can let go EMPLOYEES without notice (I'm not saying statutory employees here, I'm saying employees).
You're lucky they work for you. I've never gotten a refill to work right, ever.

Has anyone breast fed while trying to work at home, can you do this and still work full time?
It seems like the more literature I read on the subject, the longer it seems to take, especially in the beginning when you are breast feeding every two hours, or does it really just depend on the baby?
