I believe Olympus is a dictation system, not a program such as Word or Meditech - sounds to me like

operating system not found.;;
Does the bios recognize the harddrive? did you try a bootdisk from bootdisk.com? Also if the harddrive is okay, and win98 (what operating system are you using?) is corrupted, you will need a win98cd or you will need the restore disk that came with the computer
Easy for what operating system?
That trick doesn't work with my Vista computer.  Try again.
operating system question(s)

I have been advised recently that my doctor has purchased a new dictating system that will not work with Windows XP Home Edition, and that I will have to purchase Windows XP Pro Edition in order to continue tyiping for this doctor.


I've done some brief research to see if there is an upgrade from Home Edition to Pro Edition, and I haven't found one.  I'm pretty sure there probably is no upgrade, as they appear to be 2 different OPs.   I'm pretty sure I'll have to purchase the Pro Edition full install.  Now, when one changes operating systems, doesn't that entail having to reinstall all other software, quickwords, macros, templates, etc.? 


Actually, with a call to Microsoft, the OS--operating system-- SM
Can be reinstalled on the same computer, in the event of a crash or need to reinstall because of a crash or just cleaning up the computer by reinstalling the OS, or the change to a new motherboard or hard drive, etc. I'm not too knowledgeable on this, but on other IT web sites IT professionals routinely re-install for a fresh system and they CALL the Microsoft # for reauthorization. At least on XP. Which is the way it should be. If my computer crashes, it is still the same computer and the same OS I paid hundreds of dollars for in some cases, so yes, you can install on the same computer. THere would be a mutiny off Windows if you could not. ANd they know this. They ran into this with Vista and had to back down. Computer professionals routinely re-install for a fresh system or when a computer has difficulties.

Don't correct my mistakes on grammar and caps, i didn't proof.
MS does not produce a new operating system every year, trust me on that.

Vista was 5 years in the making, which is pretty much the norm for most reliable Software.


Help with "no operating system found" message sm
Laptop with Windows XP shows "no operating system found" - desktop working. Did this before and comes back with turning on and off, went into "setup" and shows I have so many MB stored on hard drive but cannot get system to boot, misplaced XP CD. This time I cannot get it to come back and depend on laptop at end of day to research, e-mail, etc., as desktop for too many hours is too painful. Any way to get the Windows XP to start up so I can do a system restore to an earlier time? Perhaps an update did this. It is "dead" but everything is still on there, lots of "good stuff" - a Dell so no one else will touch it and I can't get online with them as my other computer is not a Dell.

message re. "no operating system found"
No warranty- a client co. added some software to the XP which was very expensive, i.e., voice, lots of extras I used for over 2 years, "loaded" and it did this to me before but was able to get it back by unplugging, restarting several times.No one else will touch a "Dell" and that co. is closed.  After several "hundred" times I can only do an "F2" and it shows me there is a hard drive with several MB of stuff on there but won't load it, tried everything in the system - hate to lose all this "good" stuff. Is there any way I can transfer my XP from my desktop or run the laptop from my desktop somehow. I think if I could get a startup menu and choose a time to restore it to, like last month or something, I could use it and stop any further "updates" which really mess up things. Gosh, I loved my laptop as it is not "painful" to use and I do have such back pain at end of day, but then I am preaching to the choir about back pain and this job, aren't I? Hate to give up on it when I know there are some good programs on there. Sorry for the rant, I have let this "take over my life" trying to get it to work again. ***$#!**  Thank you!
Vista is just the operating system. You buy the word processing software separate...sm...

A computer's OS (operating system) is only meant for a 1 time install on 1 pc. People like yours

who abuse this are just looking for a cheap break, jack up the price (theoretically speaking) for the rest of us, and are asking for a myriad of problems on their pcs.  To deter this behavior, about 1 year ago, many computer companies ceased to include all software when packaging the pc for shipment.  It is because of software abuse/misuse, computers that are delivered with a pre-installed OS are delivered without the OS + other necessary software, due to behaviors such as yours and many others.  However, if you call the company and verbally request all software: OS (installation CD), as well as other necessary software (tools systems, drivers, diagnostics, utilities, print driver, internet security, and WP/Word/Excel, et al), they will gladly send it to you free of charge.


Question about Meditech system. sm
I have just started working in Meditech after using Word for years.  I find it to be very confusing.  Do any of you that have worked in it for awhile like it?  My first line count is running around 90 lines per hour.  That is pretty low for me on a new platform.  Is it a productive system?
Need an expander that works with Meditech system
I have tried some free downloads of a couple of programs but had problems with them.  Had to turn them off and on when I went to different screens or different aspects in Meditech.  I do Radiology and basic 4 with access to Meditech Expander which is only good for long repetitive phrases and I often go into the medical charts to look up medicines, etc.  This poses a problem with some Expanders as I enter codes to get to the different screens.  Please help!
What is the best expander program for Meditech system?
I asked this question a while back and someone told me ShortHand worked great with Meditech.  I have downloaded the new trial version of it and it interferes with certain keys that are used in Meditech.  Such as filling out information screens and the save button in Meditech.  Things come up that I don't want to come.  I want a program that will expand only in the text part of Meditech.  Any help would be appreciated.
Wanting to buy EX125 Voice system
I am looking to buy a EX125 Voice Turnkey System, with at least a 6.5 build - prefer 7.0.  Anyone have one they want to sell?     Just found this site and thrilled to see it -- please let me know if anyone has such a beast available. 
Call in dictation system

I have a digital call in dictation system that is less than 2 years old that has given me nothing but problems from day one.  It has already blown 2 speech boards and a new one has to be put in.  I purchased an insurance policy for it but the company is giving me a large hassle.  I currently have a loaner system that is also acting up.  I was wondering if anyone can recommend any Internet-based call in systems that doctors could use by calling in on an 800 number and something that is easy to use and maintenance free from my end.  I have always used a computer based call in system but it is very expensive to maintain with phone lines, etc.  I am looking to get something fast that I can have set up as a backup in case my loaner also breaks down.  I am a novice as far as Internet systems go.  Thanks for any help or information about a company that you could recommend.


Phillips Dictation System

Does anyone have experience with their physician using the Phillips dictation system where they download their files and send them via email as a WAV file?  I have a doc that just bought this system and he is having major trouble getting the files to me (or to anyone else).  Is there specific software that I should have on my computer for this to work?  I'm in a panic along with him because while he is fooling around trying to figure out how to work this system, his dictation is piling up.


Thanks for any tips.


What do you mean by a Phillips dictation system?
What software are you using to transcribe?

If he is using a Phillips handheld digital voice recorder, you shouldn't have any problem opening or transcribing those files with Express Scribe and a foot pedal and he shouldn't have any problem sending the files to you. They are dss files, and most wav pedals will play them.

If you mean one of the more complicated Phillips dictation "systems" and not just the recorder/download software, that might be a different story.


Our system uses the * key to sign off a dictation. (nm)

No.....moved on to different dictation system....sm

When my PC-Dart finally crashed, I went with an Orator and now use DocShuttle and FTP site to get my voice files.


Have a Lanier VW system which pulls voice files

can pull your voice directly from the hospital side so you can send via FTP directly to your MT's. The files are converted to play using Express Scribe or any player which can play typical .wav files.


If you deal with seperate dempgraphic files I can help also. Thanks


Expresiv--does anyone use this transcription/dictation system--sm
who could take some time to answer a few questions for me.
They are probably looking for a call-in digital dictation system or
if they have one in their office, a ld service for you to call in and get the dictation.

I certainly would ask and clarify what exactly they are looking for and what they want.

Good luck!
Does anyone have experience with FusionVoice by Dobley dictation system?? sm
The hospital I work for is looking for a new dictation system and was looking into this system.
Does anyone have any info on WinScribe Dictation System?? Not a transcription program but a digital
n
The Orator dictation system offered by Bytescribe also works with DocShuttle. I use it as well as th

I thought the price was reasonable. You can export the files into DocShuttle so that the docs can still use the electronic signature feature. I have one facility that uses the system this way.  One doc uses the olympus DS-2300 and the other two use my call-in system.


 


Bytescribe Company - May Purchase Their OratorPro Dictation System - Any Input?
Does anybody have experience with the company called Bytescribe and their telephone dictation systems? I am looking into buying their OratorPro system where I can have doctors telephone in and dictate onto this system.

Thank you.
Dictaphone Digital Dictation Straight Talk System 7120 user manual

Fusion and MediTech

What is the difference between Fusion and MediTech?


Air card, Meditech, Fusion, boonies

Yes, I know there are lots of questions and answers about one or more of these issues most of which I've read, but I need to make sure before I end up signing something that I can't deliver.


I have a Sierra air card in the middle of nowhere.  Will I be able to link to Meditech specifically and receive Fusion voice files through a VPN in a timely manner or will one or the other or both be so slow as to be inoperative?  I've worked with it doing FTPs and photo downloads and it's slow but not glacial.


Has anyone had specific Meditech related problems going over the 5 gig limit with their carrier?


Thanks and lots of hugs in advance. f


It's the way our system is set up..
We can search to see what work is out there, and we can also search by author and see what work each author has, and even look at completed reports, which is nice when you're stuck. I love my platform.
everyone on DQS (DEP) system
not all accounts are on it yet, but most are
Can you say what system it was? nm
xx
I think it is what system you are using,
that is why I asked you to tell me more. I use eScription and 1 can believe or not but I am amazed at how the ESLs are picked up better than the English. You are using Dictaphone- I have read other posts who are on different VR system and they are not satisfied. I have loads of ESLs on my account but am happy VR is picking up instead of my having to listen to them all and trying to muddle through.
Your system allows this?
The system I work on does not allow me to 'pick' my work. I have a pool of work and it loads into my computer 3 records at a time. I have to take what I get and do what I get. Your system allows you to choose what dictations you want to do? In my opinion, that is not fair to anyone. It should be what pops up gets done by whoever reaches it first.

I would say one last thing to my boss about it, if I were you. I would just tell her that you can sit there and watch what is happening, that this one person is taking the gravy jobs, and for your boss to sit and observe it herself and do something about it. I don't see why any person feels they are better than another, to get an easy income while others struggle. I sure hope it is resolved soon for you.
For every system set up, there is a way around it..
our system recently changed to allow only ONE job to be seen and worked on at a time, which they thought would stop the cherry picking, but it has not. There is a web site where we can still view what is coming next and down the line. The cherry pickers just wait, PERHAPs doing a little job here and there, and then as soon as a very large one comes up, snap. it is gone! I hate this way of things. I certainly wish that all accounts were "assigned" accounts. Much more fair to all transcriptionists. but that is just my opinion!!!
EMR System
I just got back from a meeting at my employer's office. They've been implementing EMR and expect most of it to be up and running by March. They haven't come right out and told us (the other transcriptionis), but we may be without a job, although they haven't really said too much. Supposedly they may still need us because there are some doctors that are set in their ways and won't use it.
What system do you use? NM

The problem is with our system.
As a Caucasion I do feel shame for what my ancestors have done to people of other races, especially to Native Americans.  However, I cannot go back in time and fix that.  The problem now is not that people want to come here, the problem is the gravy train our government allows outsiders that do come here.  This is in no way good for the citizens of this country, no matter their original nationality.  If I wanted to become a citizen of another country, the first thing I would expect to have to do is to learn the language.  The powers that be have had a global economy as part of the agenda, and now we have it.  This did not start with the current administration.  I do not know if there is anything that can be done to help the situation at this point.  The powers that be have what they want.  If you are big business, then you can trade with anyone in any country who has the money.  If this is what they wanted, at least they could level the playing field so that we could financially compete with those who are being given a free ride.
Then she'd get back on the system with
This is so-and-so, and I got disconnected AGAIN.
Call-in system
I have an internet based digital call in system with 4 ports.  It is very simple to use. The doctor calls in and then the work is on the server, you load it with Express Scribe and do your work........If you want another transcriptionist to get work, then you just put in their e-mail address along with your doctor's key and it will automatically forward to the transcriptionist, while you still have a copy of the voice file to be able to double check the work.   I bought mine through RT King.
abcdz system
Could you please explain?
Yep, but its the Dictaphone system...
My hospital rad account decided to "upgrade" their system which supposedly would take half an hour - its now 6 hours and counting - and the docs haven't been able to dictate since noon - boy R we in for a backlog tomorrow!
Can't you log onto MQ's system and find that out?
I don't know about anyone else, but I would never stay with a company that didn't have enough work to keep me busy.
To sm, don't do it! Someone will call you and ask why you are off the system!

DOS based system
Has anyone ever worked for a company that is DOS based? I started a new job today, and their system is in DOS. To me it is really old-school, but I guess I will just have to learn.
Can you use the DOS system with Windows XP?nm
x
You can't explain it. Our system we have
set up, like I said before, does not help the people who really need it half the time. The people who can afford to build on the beach and build mansions at that, should have to rebuild themselves.

My point though is that not everyone can get out. Not everyone has that opportunity. I got so tired of hearing about it was the people's fault in New Orleans because they should have left. What do people not understand about not being able to leave if you have no vehicle? It is their local government's fault for not using the buses they had on hand.
Cerner is a pie system for MTs...(sm)
A hospital I used to work for went to Cerner about a year before I left.  It was very nice for the MTs compared to the dinosaur system we had before it.  The front office and billing I cannot say were so happy about it..and expect alot of headaches throughout your department until they get used to it.  But as far as the MT side of it..it was great.  LOVED the lil "sticky notes" you could enter on a document to bring something to the rad's attention before they could sign it off. 
About system restore, sorry about that
