naming macros
My biggest problem seems to be how to name the macro. Can you give examples of how you name them? I have Instant Text.
Using medikin-naming files
Can anyone out there provide some input about how they set up their file description for a hospital. We will be coming up on this inhouse for transcription. Files will not be reviewed by docs electronically. We just need some input on how to name the files since there is no dictation number per se, as in Dictaphone (our old system). 
We are not talking about naming facilities that

Pays late, naming names
They are in Los Angeles, CA, and I just discovered an entire thread in 2004 and early 2004 of over 88 entries when I did a "search" for them on this site, discussing these longstanding, late-paying habits.
Agree! That was big when my DD was born. People naming

Its actually becoming popular!
It started locally in a Chicago ball park I think, and they had a segment on CBS news the other day about it. They cut the donut in half and use those two halves as the buns, along with bacon and cheese. Everyone they interviewed said they really liked it, even the reporter! Kind of sweet and sour cheeseburger, don't U think?
This may not be a popular opinion, but I would be
If this is a child you're talking about, I would probably err on the side of protecting the child. A call can be placed to CPS anonymously, and you won't have to risk your job. You can simply call anonymously and state that during the performance of your job, this situation presented itself. If you've ever see the consequences sexual abuse brings to a child's life, then you would know it's worth much more than a job anyway.
I think it is here to stay, but won't be quite as popular as some companies may think
The whole reasoning behind VR is to decrease cost to clients and to speed up TAT (well that and to increase revenue for MTSOs). But, just as more and more clients are starting to find out about offshore outsourcing, the cost effectiveness may not be such an advantage. Being on VR for several months now, it seems like even the sloppiest work is submitted for the sake of getting it out quickly. I've found, and it has been reported here repeatedly, that those on VR are told not to "pretty it up", just make sure it's accurate. Even the banned abbreviations on the JHACO list are allowed in favor of quick editing. Things that never would be acceptable in straight typing are allowed in VR. Sooner or later this is going to catch up and the money saved on VR will just switch to risk management. What once seemed like a big money saver will end up costing them more in the long run, just like outsourcing to India.
Also, it is a proven fact that those who are very high producers in straight typing (1500 to 1600 lines a day) will most likely not make the money that new MTs or less skilled MTs will. Those who are producing approximately 1000 to 1100 lines a day will have no problem doubling that. With some MTSOs cutting the VR editing rates to 55% of base line count, it isn't feasible for experienced, skilled high producers to work on VR at half the base rate. Thus, a lot of skilled MTs will be moving on to companies without VR. Without some of the tools required, VR mandates that the editors will correctly use and spell terms that would otherwise be done by expanders. A new MT isn't going to catch the "mistakes" as quickly or as often as a highly-skilled MT with years and years under the belt. That, too, will contribute to the lower quality of finished product. As far as increased TAT, it might increase it a little but full editing isn't as quick as QA editing, so the increase in TAT isn't going to be that dramatic IMO.
I can see VR being advantageous for the quicker, easier reports such as radiology and ER, and I can see it catching on for a while. But, I think sooner or later it will trend back to the clients wanting professionalism over quick, money-saving efforts that will end up costing them more in the long run either in risk management or outright lawsuits.
Beading and knitting are popular
right now. I've been doing both separately and in combination for longer than I care to admit but they are *in* again. Glass mosaics and polymer clay are another couple of things I've been dabbling in for a while. There are just so many options, it's hard to suggest just 1 thing. Maybe you could take her on a *date* to some of the craft stores like Joanne Fabrics or Michael's and see what she seems interested in. If she finds the right hobby to suit her personality and talent, I predict she will be totally addicted (like so many of us) so watch out! Then again, she is lucky she has you to enable her. LOL Good luck!
I wonder if local newspapers would be popular for them, and
I think acute care is more popular
I do both and as far as work I don't really favor one over the other. I get about the same lines with either one.
Actually RadGuy wuz very popular when my mom named me that in 1958. Hmm...
