XMTSO doesnt care where you are going to work or what they
;
a different room doesnt matter to a dirty old man "Been there done that" they dont care where
They still try. As long as they think they are "alone". Privacy is not a good thing in dealing with a pervert. Even if there are people in another room. You could scream but it would still be a situation I dont think she wants to be in.
You know, I dont think people care anymore what MQ offers or doesnt offer, I think everyone is just
sick of all the confusion, dishonesty, sneakiness, etc. You never know what is around the corner so after this there will be something else no doubt. I think I and most other MQ MTs just want a company that they can respect and trust. MQ can offer this package and turn right around and change that. Leopards dont change their spots. It seems like they are intent on running this company into the ground and they are doing a good job of it. I dont see how they ever will stand up against the money they owe all of these hospitals. You still have to wonder what prompted them to send checks out to the DQS MTs for mistakes in calculation of lines. Give me a break. Maybe they are trying to settle lawsuits to get out of the MT business and focus on just technology. They sure dont know what they are doing with the MT side for sure. I think they felt they had everyone up against a brick wall but as accounts leave so will MTs or MTs will just move on to another business as the wages get lower and lower so then all the work can go to India. Older MTs will cut back or retire and younger ones will leave for something else when they see what they have to battle with the work left over from ASR or VR for the small amount of money not to mention EMRs coming quickly.
How would an online MTSO know(or care) if

MTSO needs to staff appropriately, not IC take care of staffing issues.
 Why should the IC give up her staffing solutions to the MTSO? The IC only makes may be 9 cpl if she's lucky, and the MTSO probably makes 13-15 cpl. I think my friends would rather make the 13-15 cpl to keep the account happy, than make only 9 cpl and make the MTSO happy. The MTSO is wrong to take an account they can't staff properly, and then in turn blame the typist for TAT, etc. It is just not fair! Lowering the boom on the typist is my big concern, not so much "client stealing". "Client stealing" has been around longer than we think it has. The MTSO had to begin the "stealing" process from the get go, and then in turn cannot staff. It all boils down to staffing. I say, hire per diem employees. Most transcriptionists are able to pick up a little extra now and again to accomodate the MTSO in a "tough spot", but this work should be paid a little extra as an incentive. Tit for tat, though, in all fairness!
There has always been a consistent
work flow since I have been at Amphion. I was told at the time of hire that there were several accounts waiting to come on board, but they hadn't been accepted because there weren't enought MTs to cover them. This makes more sense to me than taking the accounts and then working the MTs to death. BTW, I'm a part-time MT (not management)with 15 years of experience. I don't miss working nights and weekends either.
I have mostly remained on the same account, but have had some training on a second one. I took the test on July 3, and was interviewed and hired on July 5 after my references were checked. They offered to send the computer that week, but I asked them to wait a few days while I tied up some loose ends. Nice equipment, good support and a very decent account. They pay on time as agreed with direct deposit. They took me off proofing in two weeks. Most of all, I'm left in peace during my shift to do the work, and am not constantly interrupted with e-mails. So far, quite good.
No, just consistent...
The 3 days are 13-hour days. Keep about 265-275 line/hour average. Get 9 cpl base plus incentive.
Be consistent. sm
If you type it out the long way, do so throughout the report and vice versa.
Yes, so it will be consistent.
Yes, the dangerous-abbreviations requirement applies to handwritten and documents entered by hand into a computer. (Which sounds like MT to me!)
It does not apply to orders written in a CPOE (computerized provider order entry) or something similar.
However, whether it's applicable to transcription or not, most facilities will apply the rule across the board for consistency. That way, you don't end up with half the professional staff insisting that they can so use the abbreviation because it's all over transcribe documents.
does anyone work for a co that has you on consistent
I'm talking over a couple years, where you know the docs and get your lines in a short time, macros, normals, etc.
possible, but not on a consistent basis, I don't think
I have done it, but it is not possible to do that for 4 hours straight, and definitely not for 8. There are so many factors that affect your work.... how many times you stop to look up things, ESLs, wasted time with doctors who don't have their thoughts organized, etc. I have done 350-400 lines an hour rarely... usually it is 275-300 if I have a very familiar doctor, no terms to look up, and my fingers and mind are communicating that day. :o) So long answer short, it is 'doable', but doubtful that you could keep it up for 8 hours.
We are told to be consistent, so
I would go with 15,600 and 18,000, or 15.6 and 18.0. We do not write out "thousand" in that situation.
It's always best to try to maintain a consistent system throughout, but - sm
in this case I personally would probably go with first 3 plus last letter:
lapy
lape
lapc
arte
arty
artc
...
Actually being on the same account for four months I would take as consistent primary! nm
:)
I agree - be consistent WHICHEVER way you use. No mixing. NM

It is for a consistent production lph over the pay period. All lines.

how do you stay consistent and productive working at home?
Just wondering. I have a hard time lately with being disciplined enough to sit and do what I am supposed to. What do you guys do if that happens to you?
Actually being on the same acct for four years would be considered a consistent primary.
nm
I think I would look for another job. Doesnt seem right
asdf
No doesnt sound harsh
I agree with you to an extent about threatening with that, and I have informed family members that could be done if he does not get help and endangers them in some way. They of course say they know, I think they are trying to handle it without hurting the kids any further. He has not physically hurt them just scared them which is bad enough! Thanks
High IQ doesnt = good MT.

Link doesnt say if this can be done at home.

Above poster doesnt know how to use antibark
My dogs quickly learned when they had collar on and what that meant. They didn't bark. Take collar off when you want them to alert you. Believe me, they know the difference between collar on and collar off. Mine even knew the difference between dead battery and charged battery. When they would bark with collar on, I knew it was tiime for recharge.
Then hope your boss here doesnt end up

There are issues with it stopping and starting. The USB works best in V8. I work in V8 and V6 still so I have both pedals :(
Kinship care versus foster care/adoption
Having been placed in a position where I now have custody of my 3 YO granddaughter and going through the legal system, I sought an online network of relative caregivers for children. I would encourage you, especially since you are in Georgia, that if you take any children into foster care with the idea of adopting them, there is federal law that requires the state to take certain actions in a specific time frame. When a child is removed from it's bio parent(s), the state is required to investigate any possible relatives who can take the child before foster care is considered, but even before that, reunification with the parents is the priority. Once a child enters the system and is in the system for 15 out of any 22 months, the state is required to find permanent placement for the child.
The problem with this is that there are case workers who may favor a foster family and do not seek out relative care. I have a good friend in Georgia who had to fight all the way to the state level to get custody of her grandson after the child was placed from the hospital into a foster care home with the promise that the foster parents would be allowed to adopt. She has now adopted her grandson, but it was a long, hard battle to get the state to admit their own interests were placed above those of the child and/or family.
If you get a child placed through the state, please make certain there is not a relative who wants that child before you get your hopes up. The courts are now favoring return of children to relatives even after a child has spent years with a foster family who hoped to adopt them.
States get bonus federal funds by complying with the time lines and being able to close the case, so some states place children in foster care because it is easier than trying to locate relatives.
Didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but I can't imagine my sweet bella going to someone outside her family.
I still use 2. It looks better and doesnt get confused with abbr. periods.
I wouldnt change to 1 unless the AAMT Book of Style rules on it and I dont believe they have. I could be wrong on that. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Another thing I have noticed people doing is not putting a comma before the and in a list. I was always taught to use the comma but some people dont.
advil doesnt touch mine
I used to get this all the time it drove me crazy. It felt like a constant burning band. I was hold my arms up by my neck and shoulder. Is there anyway you can find something to support your arms while you type? I bought a chair with arms, and i put a 2 x 4 board across the arms and rest my elbows on that and let my fingers do the work, not my neck. I also have a split keyboard. When the pain was severe, like yours, I would get up and put a warm wash cloth and sort of massage it into my neck every couple of hours while stretching, and then apply some icy hot so it really penetrated into it. As a poster stated, xanax works and anything that relaxes the muscles, Soma, or Flexeril, ativan, buspar (antianxiety), on top of the massage, heat n stretches. I also cut out the coffee and sugar because i'm an anxious person and I clench constantly. That should get you through until you find away to rest the arms while working. I know with this job, one part of our body will suffer, either arms, wrists or hand joints, even neck and shoulder. I wish they'd invent something to take the strain off of every muscle for us gals who have to sit here day after day! Anyways, I feel your pain, hang in there.
Is there any spyware you can use that doesnt interfere with all your other programs at all. I have
XP and service pack 2 etc etc just about all the programs you can have and Norton so dont know if they have Spyware in them or not. I have office also.
I wouldnt go get him. Just treat him tonight even if he doesnt have it
That may keep him from getting it. Head lice is a nuisance but not hard to get rid of. I wouldnt sweat it. You should change their sheets, etc...
I disagree...just because you are in a certain profession doesnt mean you cant have time off..sm
My mom has been an RN for over 40 years now and I have several family members in some of the other professions you mentioned above. A certain profession does not mean you have to work certain days/holidays. If you have vacation time you are entitled to use it whenever you wish. I used to work in a physicians office for 10 years and I always put my vacation time in for my two weeks in December in January. Other employees put their time in for summer. So while they are out having fun with their time off in July I am not crying and moaning because they are having fun in the sun while I work to cover them. It is the same thing no matter when your time off is scheduled. It has nothing to do with what field you work in. If you want time off at Christmas be a little more organized and schedule your time off way in advance. And no I dont think I am the only one with a family who would like to be off for the holidays. I just make it a priority to take my vacation at that time. You enjoy your time when you want and I will enjoy my time when I want.
What would be fair line rate if co. doesnt pay
Does it really make a ton of difference in your pay?

if you have benefits, doesnt that make you an employee?

that doesnt sound right. I have downloaded mine I know 5 times
Maybe you should talk to a different person.
You should be able to download the player again with your password. I have had mine for 5 years and never had any problem reinstalling it. I know I have installed mine 5 times.
I think they will see these newbies run faster and harder than we ever did if something doesnt suit.

Do you honestly think MQ doesnt send work to India, etc.

I guess it depends on which office you get switched to now doesnt it.

Why dont you stick your $1.18 where the sun doesnt shine lady.

I think it is a 65 character line without spaces but doesnt that mean you have to type a lot more to
get your lines in so you really arent making 9.5 cpl in fact right. I am not sure I understand when you dont get paid for spaces how much you really lose from that. Is it 20% a report or what percentage do you lose. If a report is 100 lines with spaces then what do you really get paid for on those 100 lines without spaces. I think that is what I mean. I am just tring to figure out how much longer you have to work to get your lines in at 1000 lines a day without spaces versus 1000 lines a day with spaces. Seems it would take quite a bit longer.
If it was a clinic, it might have been urgent care, but it was NOT acute care. sm
Acute care refers to work in an acute care setting, a hospital, doing at least History and Physicals, Discharge Summaries, Consultations, Surgery notes, Emergency Department notes, and much more, including GI procedures, Cardiology procedures, Neurological procedures, Pulmonary Function Studies. It goes on and on and it means and acute care hospital setting, not a clinic.
