cut apart chart notes
Told you I was an old timer.  I print on sticky paper so that they can stick the chart note into the chart one after another on a piece of paper.  It is an 8.5 x 11 label.   I print sometimes up to 3 to 4 patients  on one sheet as I can and  I cut apart the different patient chart notes so the gals in the office don't have to do them and they can be filed right onto the charts.   Just an extra service I provide.   Takes me 5 minutes to do about 20 pages for all my accounts. 
Fast Chart, Inc.
Anyone work for Fast Chart or know anything about them?
why not? it's just key points of the chart ---
or chart condensed. anyone needing to know anything will go into the chart itself, including the courts.

Does anyone have any information about Fast Chart? I applied for a position there and am curious to know if it is a good company.

It could be better, but could be worse.  Pay is low, but there seems to be plenty of work and pay is on time.  They seem very friendly and tend to leave you alone to do your job.


QA may or may not be "friendly" but do not tell the QA anything that you don't want repeated to the owner.  Pay attention to details and always confirm, in writing by email or otherwise, your understanding of anything important that is discussed in a phone call, especially with regards to the account assignment, pay and contract.  For instance, you may be told that an account with XXX specialty is not available and then find them advertising within just a few days for that same specialty.


They seem to be a bit disorganized, with account specs being rather vague and incomplete.


They are very flexible and allow you to determine your own schedule monthly; however, they do require weekend work.


IMHO, Fast Chart is a pretty good company compared to some of the other choices in the industry right now.

I have been at Fast Chart for a little over 2 years.  I did start off at 6 cent typing 3 cent editing and worked my way up quickly.  They pay headers, footers and spaces.  The accounts are easy and the people are always available to answer questions.  I know they do not send anything to india.  The owner is adamant about keeping work in the US.  The edit script platform I am on is so user friendly.  I am so glad to have a job with consistent work and receive my money on time.  I say go for it.

Actually, I understood it a little differently.  Fast Chart seems to have two fees.  The $7.50 per pay period is if you do not commit to at least 13,000 lines per pay period.  There's another larger fee if you do not reach your promised line count, based on the percent of your promised lines that you DO produce.


As an IC, wouldn't these fees be somehow tax deductible?


Fast Chart
Yep.  And a friend of mine told me that she was chastised by the company President for communicating too much with the QA and other administrators by email.  She asked too many questions.  I guess they prefer her to figure it all out by herself and not bother them.
Power Chart

Is anyone familiar with this platform? Is it compatible with MS Word and Instant Text?


Thanks.


According to the line count chart - sm
at http://www.medicalese.org/line_count.html

.09 cents for a 65-character line = $138.46 per 100,000 characters typed, and .10 for a 75-character line = $133.33 per 100,000 characters.

So .09 and 65 characters is the better deal, benefits are icing on the cake.
Does I-chart have a good expander?
Anyone familiar with Dictaphone I-chart.  I'm thinking of working for a company that uses this.  Is it good for productivity.  I have Word 2000.  Is it compatible?  Thanks in advance!

Question on transcription by chart...

I have a doc I have been typing for for years.  He HATES dictating lol  Rt now he has stacks of patients on his desk and I am getting ready to go on vacation, but there is no way he will dictate before I leave.  These would just be short orthopedic FUs,  Im wondering if any of you have gone by the chart or the diagnosis and the prior note and typed a note for the patient.  Does this make sense?  lol  Anyway any suggestions would be great. 


Thanks!


Same here. I tell them specifically and have them write it in my chart that I do not wany any of my

Here's a funny typo for you. I saw this at work today on a chart.

When they set you up, just make a little chart of what all the Ctl keys do and you'll be fine. Th

I hate chart notes so that is a simple choice for me.

Wow, 600 lines from 30 minutes of clinic/chart notes - sm
The most I would squeeze out of that would be 350 probably. You must have one fast talking doctor. You are also very fast if you can do 600 lines in one hour, or else you have it macroed/expanded to death and there is very little actual typing so that is why you can do so much in such a small amount of time.
OK, chart didn't post correctly, but link will nm
