Hi, I have always used plain computer paper for my reports but have a new doctor who prefers me to use the "sticky" paper. I was wondering if I should charge for the paper, since it is an added cost, and also if anyone knows where to purchase this paper. Thanks.

Sticky paper
Like I said below I buy my sticky paper through a place that prints up forms. You will need to do some calling to see. It is a little expensive but I provide that in my price. Just do not buy the boxed stuff from Viking or Office Depot or Office Max as they do not not have the perforations on the sides so that when they peel the note it is smaller than the paper and fits on a piece of paper. E-mail me if you have any questions. But if you are in the Seattle area, there are a lot of paper places up there. If you are doing overflow then the main MT should be able to tell you where to get the paper. Also they might provide it as some accounts do. Everyone is different. But CONGRATS -- the first step is the hardest. Knew you could do it. Be sure to ask for lots of examples when you start. Keep me informed. Any questions you can e-mail me.

You can get Sticky paper
You can get sticky paper from Medical Arts Press, get the quick peel that has perforations on the side so it fits on your regular sized paper. It is expensive though, I used to buy the large box, approx $90.00, so if you can get your client to supply it, that would be great. I always had to supply my own.
Sticky Paper
Does any one have any suggestions on a type of paper that can be printed on and then stuck into a patient's chart? I would like to find a lable type to fit in a certain space. Brand names would be helpful. Thank you in advance
Sticky paper
I use an 8 1/2 x 11 label size paper that has about 1/8" inch that peels back on each side so that it is smaller than the paper you place it on. The clinics use it to put the chart notes in the charts. I get it at a form place that makes it. Avery makes 8 1/2 x 11 labels but you have to cut down the sides before you peel back the sheet to place it on the paper and it doesn't have great peel backs either. Call local form places and sometimes they will have perforations 1" or so but I don't like that as you waste a lot when you have to begin another chart note and you have to be sure it is below one of the perforations. Have been using this for 15 years now. Did go with some national companies but the shipping got to be too much. Again, call local paper and form places in your area and see if theymake it. E-mail me wiht specific questions.

sticky paper
I have a great supplier Forms & Filing Systems 800-472-0171. Costs about $120 for 1000 sheets. I pass this cost on to my docs.
sticky paper
I'm not sure about the colors. But it is laser quality. It comes in different label sizes. I use a full sheet lable.
Sticky paper
I get mine from a local form company and it comes with 1/4" inch strips on the sides so that when they peel it off to put into the chart the note is smaller than the paper and fits better. I pay $28 per 300 sheets.
I detest that sticky paper.
IF you want to do it, raise your rate, charge them an extra fee to do so. If you don't, tell her that is not part of the service that you provide.
that would be stickY (sorry)

Sticky
My local company is the cheapiest that I have found and never once have I had them separate in the laser printer and I have been using this for 15+ years. I have very little waste as I just do continuous notes on the 8 1/2 sheets and cut apart before I deliver to the offices. I pay $28.70 for 250 sheets and that is with 2 slits along the side so it is easy for the girls to file into the charts. True I go and pick up but it is only 10 miles from me. I have searched and searched and found no place cheaper. And like I said it has never peeled apart and I have had Avery, Viking, many nationals that have jammed in my laser printer before and never once have these. And I like giving locals the business. As for the perforated ones, it is $33 per 250 but I wasted too much for that and when it comes in a roll and you have to cut apart and it curls, too much work for me. My 2 cents for the day.

sticky strips
We went through this at the hospital I worked for a couple of years ago and I can't quite remember why it turned out to be okay to register patients like this, but supposedly it was okay. My doctor's office has you write your name on a sticky strip which they immediately take off so it does not stay on the record there, but they still do call your name, so you can't travel incognito if you wanted to. It does seem like a violation of some sort. My drug store won't even tell my husband my Rx is ready for pick up, even though I've told them it's okay.
sticky strips, RXs
Thanks for reminding me what they're called! As for the RX thing, my pharmacy is the same way. You know it's just a huge CYA thing, and creates many inconveniences for "us," but they don't want to fool with a lawsuit.
Anyway, from what I've read here, either some places are okay, and others are in violation. Fortunately it hasn't affected my life. It's been interesting to read the different posts, though.
Sticky situation/IRS/IC status
I just had my taxes done (extension) and was told that if the company that I do IC work with dictates my hours that my home office deductions may be disallowed. This company asks you up front or tells you up front what "shifts" they have available for you and then they expect you to work those hours. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach them about this - I have skirted the issue by working a few hours different every day - but usually staying within a block of time - and they have not said anything to me - but I think that is only a matter of time. I like my job and the work is great - I just don't want to owe more taxes than necessary because the company is not willing to work with ICs but expect us to work a set schedule. Hope someone has had this come up and will have some good information or at least tell me how to tactfully address this situation without losing my work. Of course, i don't guess that any job is worth it if the company is not willing to comply with the IRS rules.
MPLite and Sticky Notes
Thanks for your question about MPLite's built-in handling of sticky notes.
While in a session, click Tools | With Selected Files, Sticky Notes. A screen will ask you whether you want the program to separate them with Hard Returns, or page breaks. It also asks you to select the files you want to include in the Sticky Notes. The assembled notes will be in the TransMP StickyNotes folder, with a filename comprised of the the client's initials, the date, and the MT initials.
The Sticky Note function does not preserve any header/footers. If you need those included, use the PDF function, which also allows you to password protects the assembled PDF file.
If you have more question about MPLite, pls ask.

Vinyl sticky letters...sm
www.goldviolin.com sells sticky Vinyl letters. I have bought many, many sets and always keep one on hand. They are also very large letters, for those of us with failing eyesight. Lol
solution for sticky keyboard
I found the solution for my keyboard keys sticking intermittently; I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. Very simple, I could believe that it works, but it does. Thought I'd pass that along.
I made a sticky post at the top of the forum. I am not going
to get into specific debate over various belief systems and people's rights. If you haven't read the sticky post, please do so.
STICKY NOTES!!! parameter of my screen is ...sm
covered with them! Seriously though, someone else here said the same as I do which is "think first letter of each word." That way, there is no memorizing. If it's a single word, just use the first few letters of that word. If I run into duplications, I just add an extra letter at the end. I have a terrible memory too, but this works for me.
NOTE: Regarding the sticky above about inexpensive banner ads
I thought that some of you who sell art, crafts, or other items like candles, Avon, scrapbooking, etc. might like to jump on this opportunity. I had thought it would be an affordable opportunity for you to make some extra money with Christmas coming up. However, so far no one appears to be interested. Therefore, if I don't have at least 10 people interested by Nov. 20, I will scrap the idea.
Outlook reminders and sticky notes, can't function without them.....nm

Moved from Sticky Post. Christmas IS celebrated on this site
Moved from Sticky post...
Christmas IS celebrated on this website. If you do not celebrate Christmas, that is your prerogative. However, if posts celebrating Christmas offends you, you might consider another site as we celebrate Christmas on this website and will do so every single year. As the owner of this website, I am proud to say MERRY CHRISTMAS in celebration of Christ's birth. I will not fall in line with others who are being politically correct and I do not expect others who celebrate Christmas to be forced to conform either. Since over 95% of Americans celebrate Christmas, I do not see what the big deal is anyway. For those who do not celebrate Christmas, I offer respect for whatever you do celebrate though I may not agree with your belief system. In turn, I also would hope that you would respect what I celebrate.
Merry Christmas,

Put it on paper
I was drowning in debt a couple of years ago. I finally bought a book by Dave Ramsey about getting out of debt and I must say, this man is a genius! He also does a radio program daily where he takes calls and gives advice. I now do a budget on paper where EVERY penny is accounted for. It is amazing how much of a difference this has made in my life. No, I don't reuse foil or sandwich bags ... LOL! I have paid off my credit card debt and installment debt. At this point, I'm working on the mortgage. I highly recommend the plan Dave Ramsey pushes for "financial peace" as he refers to it.
I have seen ads in the paper where...
Radiology MTs are paid that per hour. Maybe some of the others are too. I applied at a temp agency to work as an MT and asked for a minimum of $12/hr. I didn't get the job. I was not tested or anything, so I felt maybe they didn't want to pay me the $12/hr.
If you get on with the hospital, not sure if you will eventually be sent home or not, but most hospitals where I live send the MTs home to work. So, maybe try at a hospital near you? However, even though they pay hourly, they have a line count they want you to maintain. I think when they pay hourly, they really stick to the line count minimum to make sure they aren't paying you to do nothing. The minimum line count depends on the hospital.
good luck.
It also says on my paper...
…You may decide to continue working beyond your full retirement age without choosing to receive benefits. If so your benefits will be increased by a certain % between your full retirement age AND age 70. If I did not draw before age 70, I would have an 8% increase in the amount I would get at age 66- whatever that would be, don’t do math.
maybe you put too much paper into it, so that
the printer cannot 'grasp' it, or you put the paper too far away.
Hmm, I have a paper here that I signed that says
they will deduct FICA taxes, pay the employer part of FICA equaling 7.65%, and federal income taxes. It says I will receive a W-2, not a 1099.
FICA is the SS tax. So, if they are holding out federal taxes, FICA, employer part of FICA, then all that is left is state tax...??
Does anyone else get overwhelmed with all the paper
that's constantly thrown at them? I just spent an hour and a half cleaning off my desk. It was covered with mail, books, bills, school papers for all the kids, papers I have to fill out for DH and our oldest, papers to be shredded, stuff I have to do for other people, account specs. This was all just from the past week. I always thought I was a pretty organized person, but this place is a mess.....
What about scrapbook paper?
I know Joann has a big scrapbook paper notebook. It would look cute with a lot of different design/similar color paper hands. We actually did this with a turkey projected and covered the turkey with fall paper. I don't know what your budget is but the notebook is about $10 and you'd probably have a lot left over for other stuff.
I think I missed the ad in the paper that says you must
paint your house a funky color. I'm thinking I missed a huge sale at Home Depot on paint because my neighbors are going crazy with the colors. Yes, I understand home depot and Lowe's screws up paint and you can get the mixed up colors very cheap but geez. My neighborhood is going crazy with weird paint colors on their houses. Two months ago someone painted their house bright green with bright pink trim, then came the peach house with green trim, bright yellow house followed by bright blue house with the leftover yellow trim. New house being built across the street is all burnt orange including the fence. They even painted the driveway burnt orange and not UT vols orange. Now my neighbor is painting hers bright green. It's not a bad neighborhood here in Central Florida and the houses here run from 150s to 300s but these colors are horrendous. I think if I put my house up for sale I won't get an offer because the peach house, green and pink house, and orange house are all on the dead end street I'm on.
Paper version
I don't like having all that "stuck" on one PC just in case they crash. Good luck!
the paper shuffles and
the conversatons chatting to the nurse or, to me even worse, the minutes of absolute DEAD time when there is NOTHING! Although actually it all adds up to the same thing. Wasted time and mney for the MT.
Yes, but TELL him you need paper. Employer

Paper Trail
True True. I have the papertrail and the pay receipts and trail of if it was cashed that go together. Each earning invoice for ICs have pay stub and proof stapled together.
gas, time away from PC, ink, paper
I think 15 is good. When you are away from your desk and delivering, you are essentially not generating income, so. Plus don't forget the INK, it is costly. Better include a notation of extra costs for:
Hunt up reports and reprints (that can really be abused)
If they want a faxed copy stat
if they cannot locate a report and you need to research (TIME) and reprint & INK & PAPER and deliver. No this is not piddly things, it is time, lost income, cost of supplies.
Just like if a patient came back and ask for a quicky relook, they forgot something, after they just left, this is reset up of exam room, find the chart, chart notation, staff time, physician time and they want it for the same price. See what I mean.
If they want a stat report (you are stopping what you are working on to do their STAT report. Indicate the quicker Turn Around Time charges in writing so they don't forget .....(other than the agreed to time)
sounds good on paper.
but absolutely makes no sense in applying it in the real world.
Oh, I do exactly the same as you, but I hate all the wasted paper. nm

Yep, it all sounds so good on paper
either way I look at it, the problem is, there is nothing to rent here. If my #1 lender falls through and I have to go with #2, it may be possible the seller MAY let me rent for a year, maybe even rent to own. If lender #1 fails, I will be asking. All they can say is no. Originally seller purchased home to rent it and changed their mind, it has been for sale for 2 years, sold twice but financing fell through for other parties.
I'm am going to try for 50/50 with the father of the children as I will need him nights, and he will need me days so we don't have to pay daycare. I will be covering insurance for the kids so yes I will need him to pay some extra to me.
Paper mache lanterns...
On this morning's second episode of the the Carol Duvall show on HGTV they had some cute stuff including some paper mache lanterns that would be inexpensive and simple to make. I always prefer homemade stuff, 'cause kids learn how to make things rather than buying everything at the store.

why need see if you can make a header on your paper sm
to put their preprinted info on there rather than having to worry about a new printer, different type papers, etc. this sounds like it would solve all if agreed upon and aren't that hard to set up in word. then you could have that set in your template when you pull open your work.

What is a 1013 paper in psychiatry? Thanks! nm

I only use paper towels so I can pitch them.
I forgot about those pieces of paper sm
but we used those in high-school and when I got my first job as a senior in HS, we used those. I worked high school "office co-op", we got credit and worked tooa ND I worked in the personnel department of a hospital. I remember the pink and yellow also.
Is that why their Bounty paper towels
than in the grocery store? Because they are trying to save me money. HA HA HA! I don't THINK so! They used to sell Bounty for $1.38 a roll. Now they are charging almost $2.00 a roll. The grocery store price went up too, but not as much as Walmart! Puhleeze!
But the paper would be stuck to the floor. . .
because someone spilled Kool Aid and didn't bother to wipe it up.
