Any time you're adding formatting like bold or italics you need to tick the formatted text option to save that formatting.

What makes ICs tick?

I have heard the following soooo many times, and I have been very guilty of this in the past myself, namely:


Fear of booting out one client and going after new clients who are professional - ones who are amenable to actually working with an MTSO/IC as a partnership so to speak, realizing that it takes the individual dictator AND the MT to produce an accurate report, and both will mutually benefit in ways too numerous to count?


Why is it that some ICs will continue to work with a client that they know is a gigantic pain in the tush and will never give them heave-ho, no matter how how bad they become and how good the IC is and no matter how many hoops she jumps through versus just going out and getting a new account?


I have had this fear myself, but thankfully, my self-confidence has taken over this fear and my common sense has directed me in the right path, and do not think I'm slamming anyone because I'm not.  I'd just like to know.  What makes us - ICs - tick in this regard?


All replies welcome............................ 


As editor, MT like the OP tick me off. So

That used to tick me off, too. I would just get livid when the doctor would say...sm
"Typist, take a letter."  This was way back when I first started at my first job and I thought I knew everything there was to know!  Eventually I got over it.  I am sorry you lost your job.  There are really good companies out there.  Good luck and keep your chin up. 
Hit alt F9 to show the codes. Did you tick the
formatted text radio button when you added to autocorrect?
Only your formatted AutoCorrect entries are in the normal.dot. sm
The rest of them are in your acl file. See the link below.

You've confused people here by calling your text expansion entries "macros."

AutoText and formatted AutoCorrect entries are
saved in the normal.dot file. Unformatted AutoCorrect entries are saved in the .acl file.
AutoFormat is not going to bring back your formatted
AutoCorrect entries.

AutoFormat and AutoFormat as You Type are options only, not entries.

Do you have a backup of your normal.dot that you can copy over? When you were asked if you wanted to replace your normal.dot, what did you name the file? Or were you asked if you wanted to save changes to the normal.dot?

Do a search for "*.dot" files (without quotes) and see how many normal.dot files you have. It's possible that your old file is still there. You might have to change your view in the Search dialog box to Details so you can see the dates of the files. Make sure the normal.dot is in the correct Template folder. If you have more than one normal.dot, Word uses the first file it finds.

in the future, there will be no more dictation...only formatted templates...see inside
it is called point-of-service, or something similar - where a doctor sits next to you, and enters all your info into a palm-size computer. No need for dictation, eventually no need for billing. it will all be done at the time of service.

Yes DIRECTLY FROM THE ......nm

What I would tell you directly sm
I know you want a better job and for whatever reason, it just has not happened...YET.

Anything worth having is worth waiting for. Up to a point, the longer you wait the better it will be. Though, after a while it seems useless, it really isn't.

I had a wonderful job up until summer of 2007. Like a fool, I had $$ in my eyes and I took a job at 10 cpl. It was hard work and the line counts weren't great, but then they started to regularly run out of work. That was year ago this month. I started actively looking for work and I had offers, but I didn't take them because the grass is usually greener over the septic tank, rather than on the other side of the fence. I have been burned and didn't want to be so again. I sent out one last resume just before Christmas, but didn't think anything would come of it. I was wrong. My gift for Christmas turned out to be my dream job, so I quit the one I had.

In June, the one I quit in December begged me to come back and I accepted, because as a PT job, it would be perfect, and it has been. The boss I disliked is gone and a great gal is in her place. There is also a great deal of work.

I have the same time in you do, 15 years. I have waited much of that time for a full time job and a part time job to come together in a way that meshes as perfectly as these two do. All good and wonderful things come to those who wait.

I am wishing YOU all good things and soon. There is a company out there wishing for a hard worker, looking for their needle in a haystack and that needle is YOU. Best wishes and good luck!
structured text from free text...
eventually just templates filled in.  being that I am near 50, I will probably be okay, but I feel bad for all the younger MTs just now in school.  according to this article, we will all have to be willing to learn the new ways. 

no more 'blind faith'
I was not meaning you directly at all
guess I was just trying to get across the point that in other parts of the states southerns are protrayed as such. I am white, my husband is black and my mixed daughter was an English major in college here in the south and an accountant now, She, along with me, shutter when we hear ebonics. Like where you live and where I live outsiders would probably not believe with all the diversity, huh?
Jan -- I type directly into the EMR
Your doctor can still dictate but you will type directly into the EMR but you need to do it in house unless they allow you access from home -- which they might.  But it is hard to charge per line as there will be some "normals" that they put in.  So I do it hourly at the clinic.  Have done this twice now for clinics.  The first one, only one doc did the dictation, then another started and pretty soon all five were doing it and I had to quit as they needed someone full-time and I have my other own accounts.  I did it just to help them out at first and get out of the house.  But they did not like the hours they spent after seeing the patient doing the charting.  So one never knows.   Good luck but don't burn your bridges.   Charge them reasonably but not out of anger.  
Please see the post directly above yours.
While you are right that SSDI is different than SS, you forget that there are hundreds of children out there who have lost one or both parents and receive SS until age 18. They are certainly not retired so you're argument that it is SUPPOSED to be an account that helps people after they retired is inaccurate. It is, as originally stated, a program that was meant to help people who fell on hard times (not retirement).

As far as judging someone else, I'm just stating facts.

Like many other hardworking people on this board, I am not especially fond of watching my tax money be spent in a wasteful manner (I am not calling SS wasteful), and I certainly do not appreciate the people out there who are looking for ways around the system.

I could go on in this vein for a while but I've got to get back to my work. :)
Wow, this must be directly for a facility. Sm msg

Very hard to imagine an MTSO paying that type of money, although it is well worth every penny!  Good luck!  Grab it quick!


Even though IC directly for the hospital,
it sounds like you do not handle all of their transcription needs (in other words, providing the staffing, with the hospital being your account). For MTSOs who do have hospital accounts, I have seen the rates varying between about 18 cpl and 25 cpl (I imagine this is dependent on several factors, such as how the lines are counted, volume of dictation, and geographical location, among other things). For clinic accounts it also varies, but usually at a lower rate, about 12 cpl to 18 cpl, again depending on several factors.

working directly for rad office

If you took a position working from home directly for a small doctors' office (5 docs) with no ESL and you supplied your own computer and internet, what is the lowest line rate you would accept?   There is a good chance they may provide benefits too, including medical insurance.  This would be for radiology only with mammos, x-rays, CTs, diagnostics, ultrasounds and no MRIs. 


Thanks in advance for comments. 


 


I work directly for a hospital in the NE,
the list is provided to me by the hospital.
Hi, Paul. Appreciate hearing from you/him directly.) SM
Anon, I also love this product; Paul and Ben did a great thing producing it and I'm grateful. I can't say why I like the platform so much except that it pretty much doesn't make me think about it. The work's in the reports, not fussing with the system. With one big exception as far as I'm concerned--it really needs a wild card or at least a better search feature for practitioner's names. That's often a major time waster.

I also like it so much because I find I'm faster on VR. It turns out I have a knack for editing, while I'm just a mediocre typist; others are obviously discovering the opposite. I certainly don't feel the disconnect from the dictator's meaning described by another editor. I confess, although many "hearing-it-wrong" mistakes are made by eScription (enough to make me needed), I've come to have a very healthy respect for its ear and listen very very carefully before overriding its reading.

That said, I'm unfortunately soon moving on to another, untried platform. My old account was offshored, like other eScription accounts with my employer before. I've heard the profit margin with eScription is just too low to compete with local editors. Sad reality???
I have my headphones plugged directly into

I plug my headset directly...

...into the computer in the jack that you plug speakers into.


You might need to bypass the USB hub and plug directly in. sm
I have had this problem with other USB devices.  I just switch around until I find one that will work in hub.  I don't use EMDAT so don't know if that's the problem.  Maybe someone else can shed some light on this. 
Is the post you replied to directly above this one?
If not, the one you replied to may have been deleted. They can't control that. They delete one part and everything in response to it automatically goes with it. They can't leave responses hanging there when the one it was tacked onto was deleted.
That cpl is for contractors working directly with doc.
I made 14 cpl (65 char including spaces) when I had my own account.

My DD is a social worker and says that she dictates directly into VR
and the report is on her desk when she gets back to the office. She said everyone in her department loves it!
Anyone else have the family pet who has to sit directly on your foot pedal? My dog (who is an 80-lb
black lab) has done this all week and will not come out from under my desk.  Don't know if it's the weather or what, but it is making me crazy!
I take it you've also been lied to directly by supervisor?

I'd go directly to college, which I've done and I'm in my late 40's too.
A high school diploma these days will buy a cup of coffee and a donut, unfortunately.
You need to email me directly to admin@mtstars.com

Do a search of your C drive for it. I have mine placed directly - sm
in my C drive but usually it is in some obscure place within a file, within a file, etc. Look for "autorecovery" and see what comes up. Then the file will not be named "Smith ltr" or whatever but with letters and numbers, go by the date modified column (list details) for the date and time of the file. Hope this helps.
Since when does the child support go directly to the kids? lol!

Was told working directly in MS Word...sm
when I asked what the platform was, that's what she said.

Now I see why I have to have unlimited long distance, and a second phone line!
I work for doctors directly, no QA, so I always proof.

You can have Express Scribe download directly for you.
Under Settings, Automatic Incoming, click Add and use the FTP info you've been given to set up. Make sure your file type is checked. Also, one complaint with this program is that it does not download .dss files.
You can call Mr. L directly. I just did and left a message.
Go to this link and call the number directly. He is at this office and they will put you right through to him/his voice mail:

Nah, I work directly for a a hospital in Missouri.

there are NOT plenty of companies who don't outsource, directly or indirectly.
as for you calling others "idiots" your credibility is gone.  hope you are careful where you shop and what you buy regarding your loyalty to not participating in companies who offshore.  good luck.  hope you have plenty of time and plenty of money.
I mean "If you don't pay in timely fashion, I will bill directly".To have to beg for you pa
unprofessional.
Yeah, but medical personnel who actually work directly with
patients are a bit "different" like that. They think nothing of taking a look or having a touch here and there. And the morbid senses of humor many of them have. My friends from high school are both RNs now, but they're like that.
If it is from Ebay it will also have your login identified and will be sent directly to mailbox.

JMO, but you are better off just applying directly to a company and skipping them altogether...

they basically try to fit your experience with a company and you can do that yourself...


See my posting at top, got directly from my social security paperwork

i asked you directly who hired the MT and do you want to hire the recruiter, tester or
manager who gives you this MT. they OBVIOUSLY aren't doing their job.
Look for like inside directly from Microsoft about how to print mailing labels
