Our hospital implemented the application and the radiologists are using it 100%. No transcription intervention.  The reports are available with 2 hours of the patient having their test performed. 

At least I know now that there is a way to reassign it (or something) in PS. Thanks.

I don't even want to know anymore. I think I hate PS.

Is anyone out there familiar with DR-PACS integrated dictation system?   Powerscribe tells me it is run by Powerscribe (or uses their SDK?)

Hi,

Just read your post.  Our hospital just started powerscribe.  I have been editing for a couple of weeks now.  Are you still needing to know the function keys?

and liked it. But I was also paid hourly at that time, so I don't know how much money I would have made cpl. It does come out very messy, especially with marble-mouth dictator types. It'll probably get better with time... Sure hope so!

Hello,

I have a couple of questions on Powerscribe for Radiology.

(1) How is performance of radiology powerscribe editors measured? Is it by length of reports edited? or by number of reports? or by time spent on editing?

(2) Will someone with no prior transcription experience be able to train directly on Powerscribe editing or will he/she need to learn to transcribe using traditional systems first?

Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone has used these two together.  Thanks!

Trying to stay around not more than 275,000.  Would like 3 bedrooms, and 2 to 2.5 baths with an office or fourth bedroom for work.  A pool would be nice.  When we were there about three weeks ago all the new tracts were on lotteries or about a one year wait to build.  Don't really wanna hassle with the lottery since I don't live local.  How about Palm Valley?  Is that a nice place?  What would you say is the community with the best schools.  My priority is location, schools, price, community amenities, not too far from everything so hubby does not have a monstrous commute, etc. 

Thanks so much for answering, it is really nice to get opinions from people who actually live there.

The 2-year assistant degree salary starts at around $30,000 here (the same as a beginning teacher).  The PT master's degree starts at around $60,000 per year here; other areas of the country, of course, are likely to vary.   I already have a bachelor's degree; I'm going for the master's, but I don't know how long the waiting list is.  

I think you would be very ambitious and over-reaching if you charged 15 cents a line to think that you were competing with the nationals.  It sounds like she is new to transcription and has no way to gauge what she should charge.  If she is by herself, she is not going to be able to handle a clinic account or a hospital account by herself.  They will give her over 5000 lines a day.  She needs to be realistic on what she can handle before she thinks about what she can charge them.

I think he is referring to range of motion when he says 5,0,8,0,3,8,2????

Nice to have at least a range as a starting point.  The cpl you gave is close to what I was guessing the rate would be.  Thanks for your reply!

and MT?  Just trying to get a feel if our pay rates are in line with the norm, too high or too low (have a feeling too low). 

Working on making positive changes.  Any input appreciated.

As background ... small national, 150 MTs, all work kept in U.S.A.  Work types:  Clinic, HIM, ortho, cardiology, radiology.  All ICs, might be looking to hire employees. 

With everyone complaining about companies, it can't hurt to ask what the norm is - the good norm :)

for their apple pies. We were thrilled at the notion. Nobody had ever heard of a microwave before.

The biggest treat to us was getting to go out for a burger, the Radar Range was just a bonus!

Just think about what you are willing to work for and go from there.  Or you can just be honest and tell them flat out what you expect.  I did that with the full-time job I have.  I decided that if I were going to go back to being an employee, I was just going to be totally honest about what I wanted.  They pay hourly where I'm at.  When the HR girl made the offer, I countered and told her what I had hoped to make.  And in the end, I got it which was pretty exciting.  Just be professional and honest.

But I'm not sure myself. Would also cover OP notes more extensively and ER reports. Maybe someone will tell us both!
