I love those long reports. I think of them as free money.
It's just straight transcribing with no stopping to verify patient or physician information to start a new note. I'll trade you for 1 minute long dictations by a little Russian guy?
I do understand the frustration at the duplication of information. Then again, the copy/paste feature works great at giving more lines for free with no typing. LOL I always thought that if I could find a way to simplify the medical record while still utilizing MTs, I'd be rich.
LOVE teaching hospitals and long-winded reports. Less ADT time which I'm not paid for.
Hate filling in ADT screens w/ searches just to do a one minute report.
Lot of 5 to 8-minute reports, preferably ops and consults. nm

I consider myself a pretty fast Mt, and I am lucky to hit 100 reports a day...depends upon account.
Wait a minute...I thought my son was the most beautiful
For a minute there I thought I had written your post! If you sm
get an answer to your question about where does one go after 30 years in this business, please post it because I too feel I lost 30 years to this profession and am still waiting for some respect and fighting for decent pay. It's hard to explain how I feel to anyone who hasn't done this work. And yes, it is disheartening to see our profession in such disarray and all respect shot down because we are looked upon as chess pieces in the game of greed.
Never for a minute thought parents were involved....nm

How long does a 60-minute dictation take you
nm
Reminds me of a 55 minute long DS I had...for..
a two-day long hospital stay!
How long should it take to type a 36 minute dictated report?
I was just wondering as I talked to a woman that said it took her a really long time to type this report the other day.. I have never actually timed myself, but thought I'd see what you all thought or what it really should take to do a report that length?
Ooooh, lucky you! My kids would have sniffed them out long ago :)
Nothing lasts in this house. But I've found the perfect hiding place. No self-respecting teenage boy would look in their mother's underwear drawer. 
I taught the trick to my 11-year-old daughter too and she hasn't had anything missing since.
So why the secrecy? Who is it with? We would all love to apply and be as lucky! (nm)

Best if you are doing long reports...sm
where you are not messing around a lot on the patient demographic screens. If you can just get into the body of the report and do some work, it's o.k. Also if you don't have a lot of formatting changes, i.e. bold, italic, etc. And it doesn't have a word Expander so you have to use Shorthand for sure. The nice thing about our Meditech account is the line count does count gross lines and blank lines - but I don't know if that is just the way our hospital is set up or not. Meditech is picked for its billing and accounting capabilities. By the time any one asks the transcriptionists about it, it is already a done deal.
long reports
I do independent medical exams, which are usually quite long, for insurance companies and legal firms. they are dictated by MDs for litigation cases. The shortest ones are 4-5 pages, and I have had some up to 70-80 pages, so don't just look to medical facilities but try attorneys and insurance companies also. the company usually contracts with only one or two providers to do their exams so you are doing the same dictator(s) constantly so you get to really know their terminology and style. Mine use standards PEs, standing conclusions, etc., so I get to use a lot of macros. Because they are long you usually have a longer timeframe to complete them, too. it's a good way to go.
Long reports that drone on and on....
it's terrible...I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the line counts, but it's only 9:40 in the morning and I already want to take a nap LOL.
I know this has been discussed before but how long does it take to relisten to reports that you have
typed. I know some people do that and some dont. So far I have done okay on QA but if I dont I was just wondering how much extra time per day you figure you need to relisten to reports. I usually do about 30 to 35 medium length reports acute care or 1800 to 2000 lines. What errors do you find mostly when you relisten or is it not worth the extra time it takes. Just curious.
How long should you store reports on your computer?
As a subcontractor, what is the appropriate amount of time to store transcribed reports on your computer before deleting them?
Those are long reports! I like 'em at 2-3 mins. so they

Psychiatric work or long reports
Does anyone work for/know of any companies that are hiring for psych work or any other long reports like memory disorders, or compensations? I have three years working with these and acute care. I would like to find long reports to do all the time.
Please write to my e-mail address
Thanks!
Long reports, dead air time
Does anyone have any good tricks for dealing with the long reports with huge segments of "nothing"? On top of that, the people I am dealing with are ESLs so that's slowing me down enough already.
At this point, all I do is speed up and fast forward but am wondering if there are other ways to compensate for this issue.
Seems like someone would teach them how to pause when they stop dictating! 
IC Question: How long do you keep your reports for your docs?
ICs, I was curious to see how long do you keep your reports on your computer for the doctors? Is there a usual time limit?
Thank you!
I work whatever hours I want, as long as I have the reports back in TAT...
I have assigned doctors...
I love it too. We used to also get the LifeFlight reports

All and any Operative Reports! Love em!. sm
Including Cardiothoracic and cardiac caths.
Love typing ER reports (sm)
x most have macros, and the funny thing is that in the summer if one fall of the monkey bars you get a bunch more, or trampoline accidents, get one get half a dozen, love it, never boring!! Hope this helps!!
I absolutely love ER/ED reports.
When I worked at a hospital, we had a rotating schedule on who did those and x-rays. Like poster below, if you don't want them I will take them.
Lucky you. I would do the same thing given the chance. Good luck!

I love psychiatric reports, really fascinating, always different. nm

I have a doctor who will sing his reports every once in a while, love it. (nm)

I LOVE typing reports for podiatrists!
My first account was for a practice of 3 podiatrists and I so wish I could find another account like that. I miss it. 
On 2nd thought, if you're NOT a good Italian style cook, make something you ARE good at. Leave th

I do only Op Reports and love it. Great line count too. sm
Everyone is different, although I think you can learn them and you may even like doing them. Give it a shot and good luck!
Been specializing in op reports for 25 years now. You do need to keep up with the medical equipment terms. There is something new every day.
Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
Yep, do them all day long and love it!!! nm

Oh, o.k. I thought maybe something happened to her. I love that show!

i use lingo and love it! sm (long)
i gave up 2 landlines and now use lingo ($20/month) over highspeed cable; save lots of$$$! only downside i know of is that emergency 911 calls are handled differently, but lingo has a 911 call protocol. some people keep 1 landline just for that purpose, but I figure if there's a catastrophe the landlines will be down anyway. also, if your cable goes out you don't have phone service. my mobile phone is my backup for emergencies now. also, i suggest you lease the modem, not buy; that way if the company upgrades their system they upgrade your modem and you're not left behind with obsolete equipment...
Long ops are the best! I love the technical
stuff! My favorite is cardiac surgery. Consults are good, too. I really don't care for discharge summaries or H&Ps, short or long. But always glad to just to have any work these days! 
I love Dog -- Thought I would hate it, but really like it, same goes for that new show Miami Ink, -
don't know which channel --
Reference for Op reports, anyone know of any good online ones??
Having a tough time with Ops - does anyone know of some good reference sites to refer to?
Paid by the minute... new to me... does $1.14/minute sound reasonable?

I love TransHealth. There are many, many long term MTs...sm
with the company who are also very happy. Benefits are great. Good platform. It's acute care work, with ESLs, but that's the name of the game today.
Love mine long. I have acrylics on 1/2 of them. nm
,
Would love to help newbies, I was one myself (way too long ago to admit to)...
but set hours might be hard to do, I'd want to know that I would have at least 3-5 hours a day with a newbie in order to make it worthwhile. If she learns and works out - raises of course. I've been there too!
Oh Yeah, me too! I love the Queen! I hadn't thought of her, but she'd be great. nm

Love at first sight on the Long Island RailRoad
On the Long Island Railroad, traveling to Greenwich Village for the day and he traveling to a concert in Queens, NY. The instant I looked at his face and he talked to me and sat across from me on the train, I knew we would make history together, I knew something was gonna happen between us. He got off the train, I continued on to Greenwich Village, NYC..didnt get his number, nor he mine. Four months later I was driving into my apartment parking lot and he was driving behind me, said he recognized me from my sunglasses as I looked in the rear view mirror. He asked for my phone number and the rest is history..It was truly love at first sight..
Didn't take long at all, maybe a day or two. I love my Gold Touch.

Does anyone know of a good site to find sample op/procedure reports
I have found very few sites that have sample op reports. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks 
Hey! I never thought of that! LOL. Good one. er,
Wonder what it does stand for...
I thought better of you, Bus. Not good to talk
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I thought I was fairly good at them
got several that I absolutely could not understand 1/2 of what was being said. Made 100 lines in 3 hours!!!!
Good idea. I had actually thought of that..
I was reading on the local police web page about starting the neighborhood watch and it basically said the same thing, or to knock on people's doors and ask if they would be willing to come to meetings. We haven't had a meeting in my neighborhood in over 11 years, so I think it's time now since so many people have come and gone, or rented out their houses. Other people may have a different list of problems to add to mine.
Thanks for the response.
