Millinium RadNet? My Hosp is switching...any help? SM
Posted By: Indiana MT on 2005-11-11
In Reply to:
We currently transcribe in Word from Lanier VoiceWrite and send via VPN. I've been informed we're switching to Cerner Millinium RadNet the first of January. The people inside don't seem too worried and don't know much about this system. Does anyone have a clue for me? I need to know what I'm getting into here. Any and all help will be appreciated ! !

Hosp/Clinic - University teaching hosp
Shorthand works for Radnet. I love Radnet BTW! nm

hosp
Alot of time the hospitals have their own at home people. I don't think they would have a list as i worked at one and the girls that actually worked at the hospital picked up the docs on the side.
sorry for your troubles but...every VA Hosp..s/m
every VA hospital and every veteran here in the USA will tell you the same, 6 months to get seen, to get a CAT scan, et al......in THIS country, they treat our vets TERRIBLY!! Not just the vets either - the people who helped during 9/11 and down at Ground Zero are being refused treatment in this country.........
Again, see SICKO........by Michael Moore...whether you like him, his movies, or not.........this one is important!
Just 1 in 12 yrs. 1 other was teaching hosp, I was
one department's Transcriptionist for 2 years.
Yes, came from hosp. If was co. policy, they

A hosp I worked for did that and I loved it.
Let me know it was possible to reach for more.
Use it as a learning tool and, as another poster states, to help you be more competitive.
Had one like that at Bakerfield Hosp. just awful nm

I think they will have no idea where the dictation goes. Hosp.

My hosp. kept assuring the MTs they were NOT offshoring
:(
Usually not Dr. who pays, but facility/hosp that

Have heard hosp.pay people to sit with pts.

I think if MT went back to each individual hosp, and NOT MT co's,
Is this Kaiser nationwide or a particular hosp?

Hosp perdiem interview tomorrow! SM
I'm hoping someone will be able to advise me about some good questions to ask of the HR person of a hospital in my hometown; it's really hard for me to be objective about this decision because I want so much to leave the city where I'm living right now. I go back and forth trying to decide if I should even try this. First of all, this job was advertised as "per diem" -- forgive my ignorance, but would that be the same as a contract position? I had trouble once before making a living doing at-home MTing as an IC and paying my own health and life insurance, as I'm 100% supporting myself. It was certainly a shock after employee status--but I was so burned out at that inhouse job--transcription force cut in half, pay reduced, phasing out dictation in favor of computer templates! I took a chance even though I had an unrealistic belief in my own abilities, I'm afraid, and tried IC for a national company. I'm not working at all right now and am currently living on my savings.
I feel like something, anything would be better than nothing. Some foot/ankle problems also, related to standing at the last clerical job I tried, so a lot of even part-time jobs are out of the question at the present.
I do have some family at home and this hospital has a very good reputation as a good place to work, good (happy) employees...but, of course, don't want to move and still risk getting in an impossible position again! Please let me know of some good questions to ask during the "assessment" and interview Friday AM (tomorrow)! Sorry; realize this is rambling--many thanks--
Same hosp since 1987; changed MTSOs and I followed. nm

Ours do - hosp. is considering having our x-rays done here, but READ in India! (nm)

hosp acute care dictations..please sm
Are hospital dictations difficult to type? I have always typed various specialities for clinics. The company I just started working for lost the account I was hired for. They did offer me a position to type for the hospital dictations. Do you think it will be a rough transition for me? Any advice please! Thanks. 
Also, I work a set schedule w/the hosp but the online co
hours are more flexible (because I'm IC status). I took out my own health insurance, so I'm not bound to any company, just in case.
Hosp not right but bottom line was with CIGNA.

That's ok, you now have a new hosp oppty and closer to home too -nm
Many local hosp and agencies are starting to pay attention
The hospital I work at has started classes and counseling and support groups for adult children who are primary caregivers for elderly adults. If you can find some local social service agencies who have these kinds of programs, many of them can put your mom on some kind of state aid for her health care, help you with paperwork, and provide an occasional "atta girl" and some smiling, supportive faces. Sounds like your sibs aren't there for you. You mom could even qualify for some adult day care, which opens up SO much communication about resources and help. Please think about searching this out. I'm sure your husband and child need you terribly, and you should not bear this financial burden alone. Check with a social services department at a local hospital, and KEEP PUSHING IF YOU DON'T GET IMMEDIATE RESPONSE> Some of these places are so busy. But find and knock and push to find some answers to take the strain off you, and your mom. There are resources out there for you! You aren't alone, but it doesn't get better for you, till you FIND them.
You'll just have to ignore your siblings. They don't sound like they're worth much.
I use ASS for Assessment, and wimp for Impression for one hosp that starts with a "w".

Anyone use RadNet?
EZ platform? Type in Word? TIA
Radnet/IDX
Very easy platform, you do type in word and can get hourly or daily accurate line counts
radnet
Anyone familiar with this platform for x-rays?? 
radnet
I don't have any idea; this company pays per line. I have to do a little more investigating of it.
radnet
There is a company out of Michigan called mwp services looking for a radiology Transcriptionist and they use radnet. Good luck!
radnet
email me please for information

radnet
What can you tell me about radnet? Why do you like it?
SH and RadNet
I hear conflicting reports on this. Does ShortHand 8 or 9 work with RadNet? I am on a Cerner (which is some kind of RadNet program) account now and it has been a real headache:( SH freezes the program. Try taking away SH after years of using and straight typing. Not FUN! It is like we are going backwards. I find myself going back and correcting my typing because I have typed in my shorthand letters. I am so used to it. Any ideas?
RadNet
I use RadNet and SH version 8.70b with it and Cerner, no problem, no freezing up.
RadNet
Would someone who works in RadNet please let me know how production-friendly it is?
Radnet
Personally, I'm not nuts about it, I have worked on better, but I am also told the version I am working on is an old one, so that could be the problem. I am hoping they update it as I like the job.
I really like radnet
..
RadNet
Don't like transcribing in RadNet, but do like using it if I can type in Word then cut and paste. Much, much better that way. Shortcuts are harder to use in RadNet, at least with the setup I'm using, and keyboard/screen time is seldom in sinc.
RadNet
Is there a way to add words to your dictionary in radnet? There is an option for it on the screen but it will not allow you to access anything. Thanks.
RadNet
I use RadNet and in the tool bar there is a question mark for wood processing templates tool, which is a ? on my tool bar, and you click on that and you can enter a word, phrase, sentence. I would ask your team lead/coordinator for directions on how to use this function. It does work as I have word Expanders in mine.
RadNet
For all RadNet users!!! I hope this can help anyone with any questions... I am a sub-contractor (1099) for a radiology account for a major hospital in Michigan. We recently switched over to RadNet, and believe me, I was afraid... I went 6 weeks without a paycheck during the change-over due to problems and bugs in the system, and about 4 of those weeks was simply getting the correct security level just so I could work! And to make matters worse, I have dial-up (Ahh, the country...Well water and dial-up!!), so needless to say I was skeptical. However, in working this weekend, I have found that RadNet does work with dial-up (although there is a very slight delay in typing and a longer delay when using your mouse). It also DOES work with windows FLASH word Expander (Yes, I have said my shares of Hallelujahs/thank the Lord!!). So anybody looking for short-cuts in RadNet, my advice would be to download any free trials of word Expanders (I used a free trial of FLASH) and see what you like best. Hope this helps some of ya'll!! Annie
radnet - sm
I only worked for KS on RadNet for a short while but worked for another company and used it. I absolutely love Radnet - it is so easy to use - it is a word-based program and you should be up and producing in no time.
RADNET
Can anyone tell me places that use RadNet as their platform.
RadNet
Keystrokes for sure uses RadNet for some radiology accounts, not all.
RadNet
I think lots of hospitals do. We used Cerner for medical reports and RadNets for radiology.
radnet
It is horrible especially if you are getting paid by the report. It is so slow and slows you way down!!!!
Radnet - Does anyone know how
to change the size and color of the screen in Radnet? Changing the settings in Word doesn't work for the RadNet screen. Please help.
Switching to DSL
I'm moving and the new place has DSL. I have always used cable high-speed. For those of you who have experience with both, can you tell me if DSL is a downgrade? I'm concerned about my production going down because of a slower connection. I know DSL and cable have comparable connection speeds, but I think DSL is significanly slower in transfer rate.
If I'm wrong, straighten me out. Tks for all input.
Math whiz needed on hosp/clinic board
ty
Yes, it does. My hosp is typing in MOX, we lost Word many years ago due to cost.
Good luck!
RadNet - Good or bad?
Easy to learn, operate, etc?
Any opinions on Radnet? nm
