secure
Hi. Don't get freaked out. This happens all the time. As long as you are online, someone somewhere is going to try to invade you. As long as you have a firewall, you are safe. Don't worry. It was just a notification by Norton that they are doing their job. Rest easy.
Secure FTP...(sm)
To enable secure FTP, there must be a secure FTP server somewhere, as well as a secure FTP client on your local system (and on the system of anyone else who is uploading or downloading files to or from the server).
You could, technically speaking, run your own secure FTP server but most likely you'll want to use a secure FTP hosting provider. Google the phrase "secure FTP hosting", including the quotes, and browse the results to check out pricing.
For the secure FTP client, there are a number of choices ranging from free to $$. Before choosing one, though, I would get the hosting issue above settled and ask whether they recommend any particular client. If not, you can Google "secure FTP client" and browse the results, looking for two things:
1. An easy to use graphical interface that will let you "drag and drop" files to effect transfers to/from the server.
2. The price range you want. This, to me, would be secondary to item #1 above though.
A secure FTP would be the best way - sm
I would love to know how to get one myself/set one up too. I know how to use a FTP program to upload/download to my jobs to a FTP site, but have no clue how to go about setting one up for myself so I can have my one account send me their voice files that way. So I use mydocsonline.com for that purpose right now which is not expensive--$99 a year, price goes up with the number of users though. Very easy to use too. But I am sure if I could get my own secure FTP site it would be cheaper (I hope) though some appear to be a bit pricy from what I recall when I have looked into this before.
I don't believe this is a secure server.
Having said that, if you encrypt any files BEFORE uploading to their server, you should be OK. There is a webpage where you can ask specific questions--the link is below.
A cell phone is not secure, so using it to
listen to dictation is not viable. I have downloaded digital files via cell phone in a pinch, like during storms when I lose land-line. If you got dictation via cell, you would have to re-record because there is no way to start/stop the dictation to transcribe live. The quality of the dictation would not be as good as a land line or digital or whatever. When you have unlimited service, it usually doesn't include unlimited data transfer so would not be feasible for downloading consistently.
Just not a good idea any way you look at it, especially if this is your primary source of obtaining work.
But I didn't think wireless was secure?
Just a long cable to my modem strung through the kitchen window. LOL Hubby wants to put a phone jack outside for me, but this is fine.
f-secure is also free and good....nm

I have a secure wireless router and
broadband service. I use wav files so I'm not connected to a phone line. being wireless, you're going to still be restricted to the signal strength anywhere you go kind of like using a cell phone but if you have a broadband connection on that mountain top with a wireless router connected to it, then your signal is coming from the router and not a tower that will have interference from trees, mountains etc.
Good secure FTP site.... sm
I just got overflow work from a local hospital and I am trying to get started as soon as possible. I have done searches on this site, but wanted to know if anybody could recommended a secure, HIPAA-compliant FTP site that won't charge much as this is my first account and I have almost no start-up cash. Any information would be helpful to me. TIA.
Satellite isn't secure I think is the main
reason companies don't allow it and another is because the download speed is not consistent. It can be as slow as dial-up at times. There are also a lot of factors that can knock out your service, at least temporarily. I had satellite for a year and overall it was okay, but if it snowed or rain hard I either had decreased signal or no signal, if the wind blew hard I might get tree limbs in the way of the signal or the signal was so sporadic that I couldn't download.
You can secure wireless networks,
Making it necessary to put in a password to access it. That'll take care of the moochers!
Are you talking about a Secure Certificate?
I'm not sure if that is the same thing as an e-signature? Perhaps you mean encryption. I'm not sure why you would need to supply a secure certificate to send files to a client; encryption 128-bit encryption should be find; 256-bit even better.
Secure documentation transfer
Hi, I'm a medical transcriptionist/medical information technologist of a small MTSO called ScriptExcellence. I use "ScriptWave" for my workflow management/secure data transmission between the clients and myself and my subcontracted transcriptionists. The program was designed by my program developer brother, and my service has used it for two years with great success and low cost. If you'd like more information, check out the site at www.scriptwave.net. Best wishes to you!

VPN or secure file transfer
Are all VPN's secure? If not, which ones are? I need to purchase one soon.
Secure file transfer......(sm)
I've heard of several people using FilePhile for secure file transfers, although I have no personal experience with it. It's supposed to be free, easy, and HIPAA compliant.
http://www.filephile.net/index.php
Satellite is not secure so there may be concern for HIPAA
violation. Also satellite downloads are not dependable, sometimes they can be just as slow as dial-up, depends on the weather and how many others are on the server.
Need names of good, secure, FTP sites - sm
that are easy to use and access. Have a doctor's office that will be sending me digital voice files in the next couple of weeks and need to switch them over easily to a new "system". I prefer FTP though since I only have dial-up and I am used to using it with another job. Any preferences out there? Thanks. 
The gov. doesn't care one jot about secure records!
.
Use a secure method of transferring files.
Encrypted email for delivery of completed documents works, but voice files may be too large for that method. A secure FTP site, either your own or through a commerical provider such as mydoconline.com or ftptogo.com, would work for both documents and voice files. You may need an FTP program, but there are lots of free ones out there, like filezilla.com, which is what I use.
secure documentation transfer without an MTSO
Hi, I'm a medical transcriptionist/medical information technologist of a small MTSO called ScriptExcellence. I use "ScriptWave" for my workflow management/secure data transmission between the clients and myself and my subcontracted transcriptionists. The program was designed by my program developer brother, and my service has used it for two years with great success and low cost. It would be an easy way for you to securely transfer audio files/transcribed reports without using an MTSO. If you'd like more information, check out the site at www.scriptwave.net.

Need to set up FTP - Secure site recommendations / cost ??
I need to use a secure FTP to transfer medical files. Is anyone using a particular FTP that they like. What is cost associated with this. Any info appreciated. Thanks.
Not a problem if working on secure server
My company uploads/downloads work from a secure server, not an open Internet connection (as in web browser). Work does not travel over Internet, but directly from me to server to client and vice versa. Records are not kept on my computer, but the server. If that is the case with your setup, I'd think it would not matter if you are typing in New York or Timbuktu.
Yes, Yes! Sue the OWNER of the plastic pool because they did not secure it properly. Now it was a
deadly object due to THEIR negligence! Just think of the $$$.
Trusting the other side was his biggest mistake. He should have kept himself secure.

I use Filezilla FTP software to send via secure FTP site.
There are lots of free FTP programs available.
Thank you. I appreciate the information ...
sounds like a way to reward those whose production and quality are at the top.
Thanks.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
but, with a much better company and I smell management. Take that and smoke it.
Perhaps this information might help:
If you would post a clear statement of the change that is happening and what its expected results will be BEFORE you make such changes, then it wouldn't be viewed so suspiciously.
rec'd no such information
and my count has been 'below production' different times and my benefits didn't change. My supe told me way back when that only if a person "consistently" didn't make production would it affect their benefits.
Where did you get your information? nm.

information
i mentioned something to my supervisor a couple of weeks ago that I "heard" that MQ was offering extra on the line rates to new hires, which upset me, and of course, her response was you can't trust what you hear or see and I know that, but it seems like what i'm seeing on this website seems to be more reliable in some respects than what i get from MQ and like you said, that's really sad. I'm not signed up for IPay so i can't check to see if there's anything there -- guess i could check my bank to see if there's more there.
For your information,
I am not at all overweight. I would really like to know why someone who is as beautiful as you say you are is a transcriptionist?
Information (SM)
If you want to know why your posts are deleted, leave a valid e-mail address. I e-mail the poster why and a copy of their deleted post.
It is not because you have "MQ" in your moniker as a name. Otherwise, take this gripe over your posts being removed to e-mail or it will be deleted.
Don't know where you got your information-
Although a CMA is definitely not a PA, I do not know anywhere you get get what you need in 4-6 weeks. I took the CMA exam after years working in a physician's office, but the programs that I know about in this area are 1-2 years.
Any information on this anyone?
My husband came home from work hearing about something called EDTA (Ethylene~Diamine~Tetra-acetic~Acid). It is suppose to break down the minerals and heavy metals out of your body and make your risk of heart disease a lot lower. Does anyone have an information on this. He would like to take it if it true because of heart disease in his family, although I am not certain he should, as I always worry about the things they don't tell you about the stuff your taking.
Any information would be great.
Thanks!!
Thanks for the information!!!
Thanks to all for the information.
Thanks for the information.
Thanks so much for the information...sm
Final question - I checked out the website that you told me about and that explains it all. One final question - do you have connection problems with this and I guess one more question, and the true final question is the quality of the voice good on the file? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate the information. nm

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the information
Thanks to all of you for the helpful information!
Thanks for that information
That is very interesting about the files not being there at all. May be I am not getting the files downloaded correctly. Thanks so much for your help!
Thanks so much for the information!!
:)
where does that information come from?
please give links. I found nothing to substantiate that on my search
Thanks, that is quite useful information, but
you do not continue to believe that air conditioning will kill mold . . . it will not, and nowhere in the document you linked to does it even suggest that. It does provide information about air conditioning lowering the relative humidity of a home, and also that it aids in drying out wet areas (because it lowers the relative humidity).
You are not only misinformed, but also are misinforming others by posting segments of the document that are not connected in any other way than being a part of the same document.
For anyone who is interested, and perhaps does not want to go to the link or read the full text, this is what it actually says.
PREVENTING MOLD GROWTH (begins on page 2)
Page 3, paragraphs 4 and 5
Increase the air flow in problem areas. Move furniture
a few inches away from outside walls so that air
flow will decrease the problem of condensation on
the walls.
If mold is growing in closets, keep closet doors
open to promote air flow. Closets should not be overfilled,as this will reduce air circulation in the closet. Louvered closet doors aid in ventilation. Circulating fans may help with air flow in problem areas.
STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING OR
REMOVING MOLD GROWTH AFTER CONTAMINATION (begins on page 3)
Page 4, paragraph 3
For many hard surfaces, disinfecting with a solution
of one cup of bleach to one gallon of water is effective.
The area must be kept wet with the bleach for 10 to 15
minutes to kill the mold. If the surface is porous like
wood, the bleach solution may need to be reapplied to
keep the surface wet for the required time. If large areas
of a basement need to be disinfected, a garden sprayer
can be used to apply the bleach solution to the walls. If the walls have been contaminated with sewage, increase the proportion of bleach to water.
MT Information
Hello, I am looking to start working as an MT in order to enable me to homeschool. Can you please share any tips, job openings etc?? I would really appreciate it. I am newly relocated to Lawrenceville GA from NJ. Thanks!!
Need som information..
I would like to start doing things in my own area, get my accounts, etc. I just do not know where to start. Do I type up an "introductory" letter and send them to doc offices? What kind of equipment is the easiest to do this "internet based?" I have A LOT of questions. If someone could email me, I would really appreciate it!!
Thanks
More information....SM
I don't mean a financial deduction. I'm just trying to figure out a percentage score. Here's the details.
The document is 40,178 characters.
There were two critical errors (word left out and wrong dose) and seven noncritical errors (like his instead of has, a instead of an, etc.)
How could I figure a percentage?
thank you for this information
I have been struggling with this decision and your info makes it easier for me to stick with XP. Why mess with a good thing?
Too much information
The doctor just dictated the patient became pregnant on her wedding night. Not something I really needed to know. LOL.
