Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

people do over 300 lph.  Most top out at a little over 200, if that, a lot at around 150 lph.  It is not the platform's fault.  It is decent.  It is up to the transcriptionist.  ASR is a huge part of this platform now, and will become more as days go by.

Sotmed is the name of a company and they developed
software - believe it is ChartScript?? and something else - and I believe works with InstantText
If the company does not use a proprietary
software you can buy the pedal w/o software and use Express Scribe, which you can download for free.   You can download Express Scribe and use the hot keys to test and then buy a pedal if you need it. 
You are correct. Developed by a transcription company, but a division also lease its use to sm

facilities.  I knew that, but had never encountered anyone who works with it in the real world who doesn't not work for the specific company that developed it.  They keep us pretty much in the dark about that stuff.


anyway, when the platform is working well, it is not impossible to make over 300 lph.  350 would be rare, and depend a lot on formatting, what you are paid for and what you are not paid for.


what program is the other company using?
So many of them work like DQS.
What line counting program did the company

You may want to check with them first before posting who they are and what platform to people asking on this board.  If it is an MT platform the company uses, their tech people may be able to help you figure that out. 


You need to know the program your company is using to count so you can compare.

I need some help regarding an infected hematoma that i developed..

I had a laparoscopic procedure to remove an adhesion.  As most of you know, 3 incisions are made in this procedure; the bellybutton, along the side of your abdomen, and along the bikini line.  The adhesion was taken out through the bikini line incision.  The other day, I felt a lump in that area and noticed redness, which spread quite quickly.  I went to the doc today and he said i had an infected hematoma and put me on oral antibiotics.  He said if it did not improve he would need to drain it and possibly put me on IV antibiotics.  I cannot find information on this anywhere and I don't know if this is dangerous or not. I am terrified.  Can this lead to sepsis?  Or any other type of problem?  Please, if you have any information, good or bad, please please please let me know.  Not knowing is scary and you all know how 'vague' doctors can be.


 


THANKS!!

I know of a company who is restarting up their mentoring program for newly-graduated MTs. A GREAT
company to work for - I think they are independent contractor status, though not sure about their mentoring program status. At any rate, they are willing to take new grads and help them transition into actually working! The women who owns the company is truly wonderful.  I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her, though I don't at the moment.  The company is Accu-Stat in Wisconsin! Keep that name somewhere on a sticky or something! Really great people, and she did mention that she really wants to restart this program she used to have for newbies!  Blessings to you and good luck! Have fun! Cause it sure can be fun, while having to work, which, of course, is not fun in and of itself, huh?? Oh, to be independently wealthy.  Congrats on your new baby, by the way!!  And that's SO great that your Mom is there for you! You have a good example to follow!
I've developed a bit of social phobia, now I avoid
I listen to social anxiety tapes, Dr. Richards, because i'm finding I want to be around people now, just have forgotten how.  When i'm in a conversation, even with people i've known forever, where attention is focused on me I feel this fight or flight feeling, get nervous and turn red, just uncomfortable with socializing.  Getting better though. 
It is proprietary software and you need

a special foot pedal to be able to play it.   I also have Start/Stop and can play the files once they go through a conversion, but I have to use the VXP software because the demographics from the files loads into each report.  


I left my e-mail. 


 


proprietary pedal? MQ?
Is that what's wrong with my pedal? I've done everything and cannot get it to work with Express Scribe, though another lady with the samed kind of pedal, her's works. Mine came from MQ.
Need suggestions, generic vs proprietary drugs

It seems there are so many anymore that i have trouble remembering not to capitalize -- how do the rest of you remember? 


I am using docuscribe and the quick correct feature does not seem to work for converting back to lower case.  Any suggestions?


Lanier is proprietary meaning it will only work
with a Lanier system and you cannot use a C-Phone or DVI workstation to access a Lanier digital system.  You won't be able to use it with a DVI system or Dictaphone.  However, if memory serves, you should be able to use a Dictaphone C-phone or DVI workstation interchangeably with most other digital dictation systems and Dictaphone.
Power supplies are Dell proprietary and must be purchased from
power supply is the same way.  I have 3 Dell laptops and a Dell PC and there are indeed a number of items that are proprietary.  However, I love all of my Dell products and wouldn't trade them for anything.
Most Dictaphone stuff is proprietary and won't work with other systems.
If there's an adapter out there, I'm not aware of it. Hope you can return your purchase.
I hated it - but if you do go ahead with it, I have the proprietary foot pedal you'll need that I

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.

Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..

Old company, let me go before two weeks was up.  New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited.  It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail."  I have no income and am at a loss. 


I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc.  I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company!  New company is not returning calls or answering email.


What should I do!?!?!?!


I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!


You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location

Value of SUM program...What would you pay???>>>

I asked this on the equipment board, but I think maybe I'll get a better response here, so I hope its okay to post it here, too.


Does anyone know what the SUM CDs are worth?  There are some on ebay.  The beginning one is 2005, and usually they are the older ones on ebay.  I looked on the HPI website, but they come with books and are VERY expensive.


Anyway, does anyone have an idea of what they are worth without any extra books?  I want to bid on them, but don't know how much.  They are at $9.99 each now.  There is a beginning one, an advanced one and a surgery one.  Shoot.  I want them, but don't want to pay too much, you know? 



Thanks for any input. 


SUM Program
First, realize if you are able to study independently. The SUM cd's that are on ebay now are the new 2005 editions. You will be able to find the additional books you need on eBay over a few weeks. My advice to you is 1) go to the HPI/SUM website and print out the Student Syllabus and assignments for beginning and surgical (this will give you all of your assignments and a list of what supplies you will need, 2) email the eBay seller and make sure she is including the password codes to "unlock" the cds (Without these, they are useless to you.), then bid what they are worth to you. I have seen them go from $10 to well over $100. I sold a one myself (and not the new edition) for $125. Since I now have everything I need, I will pass on a little hint for buying cheap on eBay. Look for the packages, purchase them, take out what you need, then relist the rest. I now have a second computer (used but fine), desk (nice and new), all the reference books needed for the SUM Program, every Stedman's book that I could ever want (the latest editions), flash cards from Career Step (which come in handy), the extra AAMT cd's that M-Tec uses along with macros and every possible item I could ever want. In the end, not only did it cost me nothing, but I actually came out ahead in the end.

So, if you have the time, this is an excellent way to purchase training materials. Good luck and happy shopping.

DQS program

Hello out there - Starting position who has DQS program.


I find it to be very poor.  (In fact those who know the Meditech program - I prefer Meditech over DQS anyday)     


I have a lot of issues with the program; however, will just ask two questions, please.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.


1.  Does anyone have advice as to the quality of dictation.  I am not referring to the physicians quality, but the inability of the DQS program to have more than 4 selections for speed, which are terrible.


Is it me or is this par for the program?  1-2 speed hash marks are draggy, 3-4 is distorted.  There is not a happy medium for clear dictation but at a rate you can type quickly and accurately.


2.  Also minutes - never measured my work in minutes how many minutes a day approximately to produce 1500 lines a day ??


35+ years transcription experience - this is the worst program ever.  Hey that is just my opinion, I could be wrong (5000 lb gorilla).


 


 


DQS program
Thank you so much for your information. You have hit the nail right on the head.

I too did the same as you. It seems almost impossible to get more than 700 lines. I am so confused as I usually average 200+ lines/hour on all other typing plateforms I have ever used. (Even Meditech)

Your reponse has really helped realize the program frustration is not completely my fault.

THANK YOU - God Bless

Top gray keys - press left key (program), press again and it will say keys, choose which black button you want for the headset and press it, type #*11, hit the select (X) key, hit the black button you chose again and the hit the top right gray key (no). If you hit the black button you chose, it should light up, indicating the headset is working.
See Clearly Program. Has anyone every tried this?
If so, did it work?
I believe you would need a program also.
I don't know of any free ones that could be used with a pedal but I certainly could be wrong.  Some companies have you test within their platform and it might work there.  Good luck!

Sorry not sure which board to put this ? on but I have sum program with 12 tapes side a and b, machine and answer key and have no idea of what kind of a price to put on this.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you.
don't know what program UR using but I NEVER

My reports, especially with ESL, come in better than they (the ESL dictators) can actually dictate.  I have to do editing, sure, but it's mostly punctuation, or wrong word(s), setting up paragraphs, doing some headings - it's very rapid for me (used to edit in a previous setting but not medical) but, yes, it is less $, so you work smarter, not harder, in this biz.... I'm much faster on VR than straight transcribing and wish I had more VR.....
