ChartNet
Has anybody used this platform? Migrating to it from Word and concerned about the "learning curve." Any comments on ease of use? Wondering how many (if any) use it besides us or if it is proprietary.
ChartNet
That's definitely reassuring! Thanks! How long did it take you to "get up to speed" as far as your quota? Are you able to keep up with your lines or are you flying in the dark?
Chartnet
I went from DictExt, to Chartnet, and now back to DictExt. I definitely miss Chartnet. It is very efficient and I would not hesitate to recommend it.
Chartnet
It is by far the BEST platform I have ever used. Have been around the block on hospital-based platforms for years. And while it pains me to say this, prior to using chartnet, the best platform I had used prior to that was the DQS system from MQ. (pthewy!) Well let me tell you, Chartnet just FLIES away compared to DQS. It is extraordinarily efficient. My line counts easily doubled. Give it a shot! You won't be disappointed. BTW, I am not exactly a tekk wizard, so if I could do it, anyone can. Good luck to you and spend all your extra cash wisely! 
ChartNet
Alright, then! Bring it on! Thanks ladies.

Have used chartnet while working in house, now working at home for same hospital, but cannot access reports previously typed which I was able to do in house.
ChartNet
Have used chartnet while working inhouse. Have been set up at home from the same hospital using the same system. However, I cannot access old reports to review them. Any suggestions.
Chartnet?
Does anyone know of ANY company that is hiring that provides Chartnet for their transcriptionists? I heard it is a a big timesaver and easy to use, especially for non-tekkies like myself. Appreciate the info, THANK YOU!
ChartNet
SPI Healthcare Documentation uses Chartnet. I think it is very user friendly.
chartnet fan
Also Premier Office Transcription. Small company but friendly, honest, and reliable pay. Gotta love ChartNet!
Chartnet
CyMed also uses Chartnet.
I use Chartnet and need to know how...
to backup my expanders. Does anyone know how to do this? Do I use a disk? I read about using a thumb drive or data stick. No idea how to use this either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Chartnet
Is that the web-based program by Chartscript? My hospital is moving to it also. They said by 1st quarter of this year but no news yet. We had a presentation on it and it looks pretty good.
ChartNet
I've worked on Chartnet for about 1-1/2 years and like it. Send me a private note if you have specific questions. You can see some screen captures here: http://www.hudson-medical.com/cn-transcription.htm
ChartNet
I worked on Chartnet for several years, and after just about a half hour of training, I was back up to 1500 lines a day! It is the best, THE BEST, platform out there as far as I'm concerned. I'm working with ExText out there and words cannot express how much I detest it. Dictaphone never did have a clue. Go with ChartNet. Your employees will adore you!
Chartnet
Sorry I cannot answer your question regarding internet speed but wondering if you can tell me what company is going to Chartnet. I was under the impression that SPI bought that program exclusively. I loved working on Chartnet for Cymed. Did not love working for SPI. Thanks in advance.
I have been using the ChartNet platform for
the past 9 months and love it. It is a word-based platform and very easy to learn and use. I find it to be very productive. There are also several features that I especially like, such as being able to access reports previously dictated by a physician for reference and the ease of entering shortcuts. Give it a try.
ChartNet to EXText
Has anyone moved from Chartnet to EXText lately? If so, were you able to move your expansions to EXText?
Does any company use chartnet?
I think Chartnet was the best plateform I've every typed in and I haven't heard of any companies who use it anymore. Does anyone know of a company that uses it? I would love to work in it again.
Chartnet by Chartscript
Is anyone working on Chartnet by Chartscript? Would like to know your opinion on it. My hospital is moving to it soon.
I worked on Chartnet for a very brief...sm
time. I did not like it because it is not word based and therefore my Expander would not work and neither would my spellchecker. That is a major slowdown.
Instant Text with ChartNet
Does anyone who works with Chartnet know if Instant Text is compatible?
TIA! 
Does Shorthand work with Chartnet?
Does ShortHand for windows work with plantform Charnet? Thanks.
MedScribe is in the process of going to ChartNet sm
They have moved some accounts and are doing this hospital by hospital. I'm still on the old system but my turn is coming. I was a little nervous about it at first, but from what I've ready here, I am now looking forward to it.
MedScribe is a great company...I've worked for them a little over a year after leaving MQ and am very happy here. :-)
Cymed uses ChartNet and it is a great software
system. Lots of things to make transcription easier for
Internet speed requirement for Chartnet?
My company is in the process of moving to Chartnet and are saying the optimum internet speed is 3000 Kbs upload, 600 Kbs download. At best, I get 1200 Kbs upload, 400 Kbs download,but often less. I have no other internet options where I live. Am I going to have a lot of problems? Thanks in advance.
Meditech
Has anyone ever used a word Expander with Meditech? I understand that there are several different versions of this program and we use it for Radiology. We have V. 3.25. I was specifically thinking about ShortKeys? Any input would be appreciated.
Meditech
Has anyone ever used Meditech? Is it user-friendly? Fast? Thanks for any info you can give me.
MediTech
No to all of the above questions.
Meditech
Hello ladies. Can any of you give me referral for the name of a good medical transcription service company to work for? I've been with Spheris for almost 3 years and am looking. I've been requesting to change from an intimidating and threatening supervisor for months, and it hasn't happened. MANY PEOPLE are leaving Spheris. I'm just wondering -- can anyone give me the name of a NICE COMPANY to work for??
Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
Meditech
User-friendly? LOL. Shorthand helps.
Meditech?!))!!**
I hate it! Been working through Meditech. A huge hospital account and it's constantly going slow, booting you offline. And, it's been like this for years. They are losing a load of MT's because of it. It's okay for the hospital users, labs, docs, etc. NOT for transcriptionists. You need a dedicated line, not a system that serves a metropolis!
Does anyone use Meditech here?
I work for a hospital and I am forced to use Meditech. There is nothing to help a Transcriptionist except for autocorrect. The F11 key is diabled as well as macros. Any one else experience this problem, and how did you get around it.
Going crazy without my tools. I can't stand not being able to F11 to my next stop, let alone make templates, etc. Autocorrect on this computer is terrible as well. It will only take words in a line, not a paragraph, for example. Sheesh.. Any advice???
Meditech
Yes - Have your supervisor get Smartype, which works well with Meditech in Word program or Abbreviate, which is cheaper. I have worked at a local hospital with same problem and they would not put Smartype on, would do nothing to help at all. Good luck, hope you get somewhere, it is like typing with one hand behind your back isn't it? Pain in the neck and takes so much of your time.
meditech
Meditech does not count lines. It only counts black characters, no spaces.
Meditech
I would charge by the line - at least 12-14 cents per line (if you are the owner of the account)or charge 3.00 per report - 4.00 for specials. I have found with Meditech that this is about the only way to make any money. I had an account like this and found that radiology by the line if there are a lot of specials is the way to go - longer reports - more lines, especially if they use a lot of normals or negatives as some call them. hope this helps - you are probably being way underpaid if you are working on Meditech.
Meditech - What's it like to use?
Companies that have it always seem to want people who are already trained on it. Is it hard to learn if you have learned many different softwares?
Meditech
I have used the oldest version of Meditech, without a spellchecker and the newest versions with Word and not in Word. Even when I used the older version, I made excellent money. You can use ShortHand and with the old version, I used abbreviate. Of course when I used the old version for 8 years, made 10 cents per line and even the newer versions made 10 cents a line in radiology for all. The Cerner will slow it down, but not all the time. It is an old system, but you can make good money using Meditech. I use RadNet now which I love. Meditech is fairly easy to learn and your line count you get out of your main menu for Transcription Statistics, but not until the next day, that is the only bad thing about it. Good luck. It is not the worse platform. I have used 3 different Meditech programs, two of them old and one the newer one.
New Meditech is not like it used to be
Yes, you do need broadband access and internet. So, good thing u've got DSL. The new version is a whole lot better than the dial-up version - very user friendly. Congrats on the new job!
meditech
I have a manual here but no fax machine - is there something in particular I can look up for you?
Meditech
I've used Meditech and it is a very simple, user friendly program. Only problem I had with it was that there were no expansions.
Meditech lag
 I also found Meditech to cause a huge problem with lag and it drove me crazy. The Meditech in Word is better. Have you updated your internet explorer to the new version 7? If so, that may be the problem as I heard it does not work well with some of the medical software for companies, so I have not upgraded mine. There is a web site www.worldstart.com, and they have a message board there, lots of people on the boards and maybe someone can answer your question about the lag time and what may cause it. I stopped using Norton antivirus and have used AVG free as the Norton missed 200 viruses on my computer a couple of years ago. What I used to do years ago is transcribe in Abbreviate and cut and paste into Meditech and that was faster. Maybe you do need to uninstall your program and reinstall, that may help. Good luck. I know how frustrating this is.
meditech
Can you use ShortHand with Meditech? I know Meditech has canned text but it's kind of cumbersome and I really like Shorthand. Does anyone use Meditech + a word expander?
Meditech
Believe me it is slow and add hospital woes to the dragging and you have more problems. I have been on more than one Meditech acct, some good, some not. I have said this before. The Meditech people that came up with this need to go back to the drawing board and...........fast. It is getting to be pathetic!
Meditech...where to get it?sm
Does anyone know of a website that you can go to and download the Meditech program? There was a site I went to before, but I cant find it now and need to download Meditech. Thanx for any help.
T
I'm on Meditech.
I find it pretty slow and cumbersome, even on a broadband connection.
I've resorted to composing in Word on my local machine and then Cut and Pasting into Meditech.
I don't know what version of Meditech it is, or if there even IS more than one.
Meditech (sm)
I remember someone giving instructions on formatting in Meditech, something to do with the F8 key. Could you please post that information again, I meant to print those instructions out. Thanks.
MediTech
MediTech is a platform that is used by various hospitals for doing their dictation. It is one of the older platforms out there, but you cannot download it.
I'm currently using Meditech
And the previous poster (pastMeditecher) is right. I also work in Word and paste it in. I've lost too much work when the system glitches!
Another thing. Find an Expander that will work with Meditech (I use Instant Text). That way, if you have other work or change jobs, your expansions are with YOU, and not stuck with the system.
Meditech
anybody know details about Meditech's line counting?
Meditech
When I worked in Meditech, we were told that we were getting paid by the 65-character line even though the Meditech line was 75 characters long. I used to paste my reports into Word and do a character count and divide by 65, it never worked out. After many tests, I realized that we were getting paid by the gross line. Try counting it that way and see if it matches when you get your line counts. (On that job, the gross lines paid better as it turned out).
Also, other "tests" I did revealed that the originator of the report was the only who got credit. Any additions I ever made to someone else's report did not add to my line count. That part stunk.
Hope this helps!
