Does Flashtype work in all Meditech versions?
nm
There is also no guarantee the work will be there.
I have not had a hard time getting paid, I have had a hard time knowing my contracted lines will be there. However, of course, I am expected to live up to my promised lines. Catch-22. As an IC you of course can and should get more than 1 account or company to work with. That is my advice. Make sure to do your homework too.
Does Meditech work with
I am not sure what version of Meditech, but I connect to a VPN/Citrix to get to it and type in word that is on the system. Another one I can't use Smartype with *sigh*, just really not liking ShortHand and I'm afraid I will be stuck with it!
Can someone tell me kinda what it's like to work on Meditech? nm

Meditech - Enter key will not work. Help!! sm
My enter key will not work with Meditech. I have changed out keyboards, tried wireless, wired, et cetera. I have had someone log in with my password and it works for them. I have logged in with other passwords and it will not work. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Does Smartype work with Meditech?
Does anyone know if Smartype will work with Meditech??
I work in Meditech and love it. Like anything else, you have to get used to it. There are two vers
is awesome. The other is OK but it depends on the hospital. I worked at home for a hospital that used it and it was slow. I work for a service now that uses it and there is no lag time at all. It is radiology, so that might make a difference, not sure.
Spellcheck is shift F9 in Meditech. SH should work also. nm

MEDITECH Version 5.61 Spellchecker work?
RAD MT new to Meditech Version 5.61 doing radiology - anyone know how to activate spellchecker?? Any infor appreciated.
Thanks.
Does satellite internet work to type into Meditech?
I can't get cable or DSL, and wonder if satellite will work.
I work in Meditech for a radiology account and have no lag time. sm
There are a few things to try that might help. The first is to try to go through an NT connection if possible through their Citrix. Another is: Disable your virus protection, log in and re-enable the virus protection. I have found this solved my problem.
I am also answering your cut and paste question from your other post: It is HIPPA as the possibility of putting the wrong report on the wrong patient exists. However, I would go above or beyond your company's IS dept (they tend to be the most paranoid) and go to a production person such a Lead or Coordinator or even MTSO. If they are MTs, they tend to be more sympathetic and will often allow cut and paste when IS will not. If you are the only person experiencing this, IS is not going to be too diligent in helping. Worst case scenario? Ask for another account. Sometimes it is an account-specific, computer-specific problem, almost like putting the wrong size tape in a tape player.
Will Meditech work with cable based phone?
Hi all,
I have been offered a MT job with another company that requires me to call into the hospital's Meditech system. I have never worked on Meditech so I don't have the slightest idea how to use it. I am used to signing onto my computer and getting right into the system, not having to dial in anywhere. I'm sure I would get used to it but my phone may be the problem. I have my phone bundled in with my cable/high speed internet through Time Warner and the MTSO thinks this won't work, that I need something like Fair Point as a dedicated phone line. Does anyone out there in MT land know anything about this? The MTSO is anxious to hire and I'm anxious to start a job where I can finally make $ again and I don't want to miss out on this all because of the wrong phone!
I used to work for a hospital that used Meditech and we found the line counts to be inconsistent. SM
I used to be a supervisor and was trying to find a way to monitor productivity on Meditech and found that line counts fluctuated greatly! I did all kinds of comparisons - typed reports in word and counted the lines in word with MP Count and then compared it with Meditech and there was sometimes near a 200 line discrepancy at the end of the day. Then we found that running a line count twice in Meditech on the same MT and same reports would get us two different numbers with about 20 lines difference.
Meditech is just not MT friendly, but unfortunately MTs are at the bottom of the list of considerations when choosing an EMR system. I gave up and started keeping track of minutes of dictation.
CMT NOT A GUARANTEE
I do not think that CMT is necessarily an "investment in your future". I am not certified and am making a crazy salary. I get paid "salaried" as an editor. It is great money and I am earning it not on the basis of certification, but based on my experience and what I have put into my career. You get back what you put in. I have never even been asked if I am certified or not.
As far as offshoring, I think it's a travesty, BUT, other major American business are doing it, so it would stand to reason so would the medical profession.
If you are willing to learn, learn, learn, and perfect our "craft" then you do not need to be certified to have a great career.
not a guarantee either
I've been with two companies who had DD and was still paid late. The last one I quit I told her I would finish out the month to give her a chance to find someone else. My DD was 2-1/2 weeks late for that pay period. It hosed me financially and she had the gall to tell me she wasn't responsible for my financial situation. When you are the one holding my paycheck, you are.
Don't know you can get a guarantee of
number of reports -- that would totally depend on the patient load, whether or not anyone actually needed x-rays, whether the doctor is working FT or PT, etc.
CMT does not guarantee a qualified MT, maybe
just someone with enough money to play the game and take a test. I personally have worked with and hired MTs with and without the CMT at the end of their name and I really see no difference overall the CMT makes as far as quality of work or fund of knowledge, and there are some with CMTs that make me wonder how they even passed the test. Experience alone is the tell all. I would hire someone with years of experience over someone with only a few with some silly credential behind their name. If you have been in this business for 15+ years, you do not need some credential to prove yourself. Some just need to have somthing to make them feel superior when they actually may not even be that good. Passing a test for CMT looks good on paper, but in my experience does not mean you can actually decipher dictation or produce quality reports in the real world. JMO 
You are correct. There is no guarantee of
They'd need a crystal ball. All is a guestimate when it comes to workload, etc.
Try www.medword.com and search contracts. You can find some templates there.
i GUARANTEE she won't be hired back
maybe its some kind of a TEST, like the service owner ASKED the doc to try to lure her away, and once she did it, THEY would BOTH fire her.
IT comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee
Please see the link below for more information.
Correct spelling would be a guarantee.
differential.
I can almost guarantee that the MTSO is making more than
0.05 cpl profit. I think you have to look at each potential account individually. Do you had equipment that they can use to call-in, do they use tapes, do you have to print and deliver work, etc.
I also think you need to look at where you live. If you live in a metropolitan area you could get away with charging more. It you live in a very small town with no much in the area you would probably need to charge less.
You could offer to do the work for a couple of days and then come up with a rate. Maybe they have tons of normals, very easy dictators and it you could really be productive you might charge a little less versus if you have to pickup tapes, print and deliver work, etc.
I've never had my own accounts or even worked as an IC so I have no personal experience.

I guarantee you it's NOT the software that is making this person
$30/hr, it's knowledge that comes from years of studying at a good school. I wouldn't expect to make $30 right from the start, either. It is possible to work up to that over a couple of years. BTW, I don't know of ANY type of software that costs 5K. Maybe this person meant computer, software, reference materials, etc.
At least they have a full money-back guarantee. No stocking charge.

Is there a way to print out a list of the shortcuts you have installed in the FlashType program? If there is, I can figure it out. Please help!
FlashType
Does anyone have any info on Flashtype? I have the software but no instructions. If anyone has any info on it, I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
Flashtype
I use flashtype and it works great for me.
FlashType
In looking over all the things that FlashType does, it appears that MS Word's auto-text and word expansion program does the same thing. The only thing different that I can see that FlashType does is enables you to create special templates that can be inserted but you could also do this in MS Word with a macro. Am I way off base here?
Shorthand vs FlashType
I downloaded the Shorthand Expander trial for 30 days. I like it a lot and am thinking seriously about buying it, but now I wonder about FlashType. Is it really just like Shorthand? (if so, I could save $30 with FlashType). Can I convert my Autocorrect terms to FlashType like I can in Shorthand? I tried to download FlashType several times to try it out, but I can't open it (something about "proper license not found."
I have about 20 days left on my Shorthand trial, so I'd appreciate your opinions about both programs. Thanks!
Question about FlashType
Can you download your existing word list from Shortcut into FlashType?
Flashtype users?
I recently downloaded Flashtype expander. I like the set up of being able to put in what I want but I am having trouble with capitalization. I work in Meditech and the CAPS status sometimes changes for no reason. This program is also suppose to print in all CAPS if wanted but this does not happen either except only occasionally. It also does not capitalize the word at the beginning of a sentence if it is typed so such as Copd, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It does all lower case. Is there something I can do or is just a program error or is it just using it with certain programs such as Meditech?
Flashtype trial
where is link??? didn't see
MTStars FlashType
see link
Anybody use Flashtype Expander
If so how do you like it?
Flashtype vs shorthand
I downloaded the trial of ShortHand and have looked at flashtype and saw that it was cheaper, but wondered how they compared to each other. Anybody use Shorthand and Flashtype and like one over the other.
Question re Flashtype
I just had my hard drive work on and for some reason they added Flashtype. What exactly is this for? TIA
I use Flashtype too. I think it's like $60 and works for me
Flashtype feedback
I didn't see any information on converting my current list of Expanders (for Shorthand) to Flashtype. As I have close to 3000 entries, I'm afraid there's no way I'm going to spend the time to copy those individually and so uninstalled the trial.
Other than that, the template variables looked promising.
Isn't this MTStars FlashType under a different name?
???
You can demo MTStars FlashType and if you want to buy it, it is only $59.95
Shorthand. Click on the link below.
FlashType works just the same and is quite a bit cheaper.

FLASHTYPE QUESTION FOR NEW COMPUTER
I have a new computer! Yea!. Now I need to get all my Flashtype information to it. What do I need to do? Do I need to purchase another program for this computer and if so how do I get my stored information from the other computer? I can't imagine that I would have to retype all my information again.
Thanks
try FlashType offered on this site--sm
great littel program and not expensive. They have a demo version to try.
Neither. I just know these people and saw the post about FlashType
when something is stolen from another.
Flashtype isn't working. What am I doing wrong? sm
I downloaded the demo version of flashtype, added some basics into a new dictionary, and opened my MS word 2003. It's not working. Is there something I'm doing wrong? A step I missed somehow?
