My experience with Medrite

Medrite is real easy to learn and to use. Where I work we can look at all old reports, not just the ones we transcribed. Entering the demographics is real easy especially if you have a patient list you can copy and paste from. My company also supplies templates, which are easy to pull up and insert. The built-in Expander is easy to use, and you can also use Auto Correct. I believe you can use other expander software with Medrite, but that depends on whether your company lets you or not. I believe Medrite is a great platform to work on, especially for a newbie, because you will learn it real fast and can spend your time concentrating on transcribing rather than having to remember how to use Medrite. At any time you can check your production, too. There is nothing complicated about Medrite that I know of. I really like it.

I LOVED Medrite-- easy to use, could check back on reports that you typed if you needed to make corrections, and made LOTS of line on it.

I use Medrite and have for years. What do you need to know exactly? It takes a little getting used to but once you do, it's simple. It's a little archaic compared to EXText for example but I guess I'm just so used to it that I don't mind it.

Are you using MedRite XL? When in TES you can view Masterview by clicking on the Transcribe tab on the tool bar near the top of the screen. Choose Masterview. Under "Search For" enter the patient's last name. Next is a drop down box for "Field"....chose to search by the patient's last name or by patient number. When you see the info you want, click on the DOS you want to view. And, yes, you can cut and paste....I do this quite often.
In the main screen the Masterview is at the bottom and you can do essentially the same things as above....check doctor's reports, patient's reports. You can also view all of the jobs you've done. Where I work we go by Transcription ID.
In the old Medrite...I believe you use F9 or F3 to view the repots. And, yes, I did cut and paste. I think I highlighted the area I wanted then right clicked on the top of the Medrite screen to bring up the cut and paste feature. It's been a long time since I used the old Medrite.
Sorry if this is confusing....trying to view eamils at lunch time.

Anyone familiar with the Medrite platform? I am a fairly new MT and a prospective employer uses Medrite.
Shorthand and Medrite-XL
Does anyone know if Shorthand will work with MedRite-XL?
Thanks
When I used to use Medrite I loved it.
I'm not sure what that person does not like about it. It was extremely easy to use.
Isn't that the pre-MedRite program
That Medquist tried to change people to and it was so awful?? There are much better programs than that one! I do see jobs now and then that use MedRite. Much less old-fashioned maintenance, and a decent spellchecker.
Shorthand and MedRite XL?
Hi!
Would anyone know if ShortHand can be used with MedRite XL? Thanks for any info!
Medrite questions -sm
I used this program once before a long time ago. I will be starting soon using Medrite. Refresh my memory please. Is it MT friendly? How can I brush up on it while I am waiting to start with my new company? Or is that even possible? thank you.
MEDRITE question
Can someone explain the master view function to me. How can I bring up old dictations and can I cut and paste into shortcuts from there? TIA
MedRite-XL question
Hit a wrong button and now I have a split screen. I can get a full screen by hitting view, normal. Can anyone help me? TIA
Medrite XL question
For those who use Medrite XL ... I have noticed that the work/break hours are often not accurate on the counter, so I am wondering if the line count is likely off then as well.
Does anyone out there have any information on this? - Thank you. 
The Medrite system I used
had the best shortcut system built into it that I've ever used. Of course, it was also the first one I ever used, and you know how you tend to fall in love with one that you're used to.
Is that Medrite windows based or DOS? nm

Transolutions has Medrite-they are hiring.
Lots of new openings.
How did you get Shorthand to work with Medrite?
nm
CANCEL THAT-- It was MedRite that was not very good. SM
I worked on MedRite by Crescendo. Not Meditech. I don't have experience on Meditech. Sorry, I had the name wrong.
Medrite .... whats wrong with it?
A new account uses Medrite; was going to learn it possibly. Please tell me what's wrong with it. Thanks guys !
'Splain to me Lucy...what do you want to do to MedRite? sm
The other question well...too much information.
MedRite XL versus Bayscribe
Has anybody used both platforms? I have two job offers and I have the impression that I will make more lines using Bayscribe. Also do either of these support Shorthand? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Don't care about Medrite, but loved your photo! LOL!!!!

Experience on top, current experience first. Education second. Leave out ALL fluff.
Recruiters don't need your life story. They need to know if you can do the job. If you want, put your current employer, then state "I have 20 years in the profession doing....." Keep it simple; keep it clean. If you want to go into more detail, do it during the interview. A HUGE red flag is to see that you've worked for 10 different companies, for months at a time. I know that someone who has worked for the same company for 2 years or more is going to have some degree of loyalty and will work through issues rather than cut and run.
How is one going to get experience, when no one will hire without experience????
 I constantly see all these job openings asking for experience. How can I get experience, when no one will hire me without experience???
Do you need to have 2 years full time experience or just 2 years' experience? nm
..
In my experience,
ratio is about 3 to 4 on a large hospital account doing all specialities and report types. I think it would be closer to 2 or 3 with clinic work.
In my experience, I had to (sm)
allow the company to access my computer by clicking on an icon on my desktop. After they were done, I had to click "out" of the program, thus they cannot access my computer unless I give them my "permission" by accessing the program on my end! Does that make sense?
in my experience, (sm)
work always slows down in the summer, especially after a holiday. Hang in there, it gets better! 
I had such an experience
It was years ago but I woke up laying on my stomach with head turned to the side and arm up by my head, couldn't move then saw a transparent arm coming back down into my arm and when it was completely fused with my arm I could suddenly move. It was very weird, scared the crap out of me, but in later years read about what actually happened and like you said, my spirit body wasn't quite back into me yet when I woke up - astral travel, yes. We all do that when we sleep.
My experience...
I personally found many of the Texas hospitals had a lot of ESLs. My two primary accounts were in Missouri and Washington State and there were very few ESLs. The platform I was on was not difficult (TWS I believe it was called).
experience
I had a very hard time trying to understand the guy trying to train me. He would tell me he would call at a certain time and he wouldn't. It would be the next day or 2 hours later than what he said. Told me you have to work until the jobs are cleaned out of system. I don't think so!!!!!
My experience (sm)
The most I have made working for another service was 11 cents per gross line. That was 3 years ago and that company sold, I couldn't work for them anymore anyway.
Now I am ALWAYS offered 8 cents per line when looking for part-time. I think this is low, considering they charge 14 or so and want to see perfect documents and never proofread. Truly, I think that is a total ripoff. No benefits either.
Never in my experience. - nm

My experience with IT
I found it to be a difficult program to use unless you have a lot of time to spend reading and playing with it first. I used it for 7 months but would not recommend it. I do not know about MT schools although in my 12 years of transcribing, I have yet to work where they go into much detail about these programs. Good Luck!
My experience as QA
I've found that when I'm dealing with someone new to the company, I find myself more picky as far as punctuation, etc. Trying to show them the correct way or the preferred way at first. Show them a few times but don't hound them on the little things that won't matter in the long run. I always try to teach the preferred way in the beginning but eventually you focus completely on demographics and terminology.
Our experience...
My husband had a small lump about the size of a pea not in his cheek, but on the inside of his lip near the gum. We went to ENT and it was just a plugged duct. They lanced it, and it was fine. He developed another one a couple of years later that just eventually went away on its on. Prayers are with you!!
From my experience
They do not ask you. They recommend certain MTs.
You DO want to do ASR because if you don't, you will be left with what's left. Nuff said
Same experience with the big "S"
It did not get any better. I left after numerous account changes, disorganization, etc. Some thought it was their way to save money. It really put the brakes on. As far as learning new accounts every couple of weeks, it requires taking a LOT of your own time to do it. I have a family and a life after work.
my experience....
When my 12-year old son went from absolutely loving to play soccer (having played from age 4 up) to being in tears when I dropped him off at practices, I began to wonder what was going on. He was on a traveling select soccer team. The coach was a screamer and I thought maybe it was just that my son did not respond to that kind of coaching. He had been playing on this team for 2 years and the coach put a LOT of pressure on the kids. However, I felt thinking it was too much, but others would tell me how it would teach him discipline, etc. I knew in my heart that something was wrong if he was so adamant and upset about me dropping him off at practice. Finally after a lot of talking and trying to come to the bottom of why he absolutely hated to be on that team, I let him quit. Never another word was said about playing soccer again. Come to find out 3-4 years later, the coach was gay. My son would never tell me that he tried anything with him, but I learned later that he had with other players, so I've always wondered. Sometimes there is more there than meets the eye when a players decides to quit. I wished I had first listened to my son.
my experience
Well, a prominent man in our town (bigwig at newspaper) took him in and let him stay in his spare room while he worked here in town and coached our kids. Like I said, my son finally quit the team and it was several years later before it came out that he was gay. He had gone on to coach our local high school soccer team and it came out at that point. I guess older guys are not nearly as likely to keep this a secret as the younger guys. And to be honest, I'm not sure what all happened with the high school, but there was some trouble. He left town and I'm not sure what happened from that point. I was just glad that I had let my son quit after all. To this day, though, my son will clam up when I ask him about it. He has said he never tried anything with him, but I'm still not sure.
What experience do you have? nm
:
experience
I have three years psych transcription experience in/outpt and disability, etc. notes. Do you know of anything?
Different experience
Maybe I have been lucky but I have worked on three different accounts for them and there has always seemed to be plenty of work. Rarely have I run into NJA, except for a few times there were system problems and then, of course, on Mondays (if you work clinic accounts) you may have to wait until the docs start working before the dictation is available obviously.
Personally, I don't feel I have been misled in any way. I try to meet my minimum line requirements and keep my quality up and I have had no problems. I don't get moved from account to account and when I have asked to try a different account they have tried to accommodate me if at all possible.
There always seems to be someone available to answer questions with normally fast responses and you get several updates a day on what the job stats are.
I have worked for them for close to a year and pay has always been on time and accurate.
I feel they are a very organized company unlike some others I have had brief encounters with (brief due to that very reason - so unorganized) and any contacts I have had with supervision, account liaisons, etc., has been very positive.
That's been my experience a lot lately.
I'm tired of it. I took on my third IC job last week until I can find a company that I can make half decent money with.
No Experience
Alll the jobs state they need expereince. How do you get hired with no experience. Very frustrated. Appreciate any help. Want to do transcription from home. What is the best way to get started. 
If you don't have that much experience SM
and you get hired by a company, they expect you to do your part by researching and looking up words and spelling them correctly as well as other aspects of the reports such as grammar and punctuation.
Companies do not have the time or resources to teach people what they are supposed to know. That's what schools get paid for.
Considering the fact that you had less than two years' experience, you were lucky they hired you in the first place.
Instead of being angry, try to make yourself a better MT and go to the table with a little more to offer. It worked for me.
And just how much experience do you have?
There are $.09 and $.10 jobs out there with decent bosses, on time pay, and easy work that isn't all ESL.
My experience
I make a little over $20 an hour QA, salary not production, and not CMT. I get the same amount every invoice whether I was twiddling my thumbs or busting my butt. No typing unless an MT misses a report and there isn't enough time to have them do it, so maybe 2-3 reports every six months. No production typing.
for someone with a lot of experience sm
that would be the norm but a newbie? Could be dictators are talking slow. I do 30 minutes per hour, so that would be a couple hours or less for 60 minutes of dictation, but there are variables.
In my experience...
Radiology usually gets a higher rate - if you are doing radiology you should be getting more for that and preferably paid by the report.
Has anyone had any experience using sm
Monster.com or Career builder in their job searches?
