Usually you click on their name and e-mail SM
box will open up. You fill it out and click send. You won't know what the e-mail address is as MTStars keeps is confidential....so it might behoove you to use an anonymous e-mail of your own if you have one.
Hope this helps!

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.
Could you e-mail the company you work for? sm
I need to start trying this. Been an MT over 28 years and now seriously thinking about this. Need a change and my hands could use a change too.
I have 2 questions for people who own their own company
I started a company up and have a few clients; however, 2 of them insist on using my SS# instead of my EIN. Will I still be able to claim this as income for the business? Also, I have someone working for me and I am wondering if when I pay taxes on my business do I do it on the money before or after I pay her? I'm not sure if you have to pay taxes on EVERYTHING you make or if you can count a salary off and just pay taxes on what is left.
I hear the company helps with this. E-mail or

LOL, we just had this discussion thru e-mail at my company yesterday!...sm
Sometimes they get so confused down thru the list, that I am no longer sure what number we are on. Number next would be great, we can count! I always thought they said the numbers to keep track of what diagnosis, medication, etc they were on. Guess not?? 
When applying for an MTSO company....(2 unrelated questions LOL)
Do you just assume they have templates and word expanders? As I was doing my current job (which is now almost completely dried up of work), I realized how good I have it with the word expanders. That is one of the reasons I am so fast! So it is safe to assume they usually offer this kind of thing? I can only imagine they have to, but have never applied to one so dont mean to sound silly. I've been an IC for 10 years!
The other unrelated part is if the company is paying you 7, 8, 9 CPL... what are they likely charging their client? That is just my curiosity getting the best of me.
Thanks

the little white piece of paper icon to bring up the window where you ADD your new entries to, type your abbreviation in the Keyword box, then drop down to the Text to Type box and put in what you need it to say, then click Okay. You're done! If you want to delete your entry, arrow down to it, then click on the Trash Can icon. It'll ask if you want to put it on the clipboard, say yes and hit okay. If you want to modify it, use the little hand on the piece of paper icon. I like to click on the Disk icon to save stuff once I enter it, too, as a backup. If you're working and want to enter a paragraph or a page, you'll hightlight your stuff, bring up the ADD window, copy and paste it into the Text to Type area using the commands on the bottom of that box, name it, and hit okay. To use hot keys and stuff, you'll have to read the instructions in the help file. Good luck! ..nm
Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.
Be firm and be persistent.
My friend who works for them is having her mail go to her own account. She hates this new mail prog

Meditech questions and Cerner questions. Any input is appreciated. SM
I just recently went back to work in the office at a local hospital. We type in both Meditech and Cerner, depending on what you are typing, i.e. Medical Records reports versus Radiology. We are currently typing blindly in Meditech, meaning we do not have access to our line counts and must depend on management to give us our totals. In Cerner, we are able to run a line count report and print out a hard copy of our line counts at the end of the day.
We are finding that 800 lines in Cerner equals about 500 lines in Meditech. We are not paid per line nor do we have an incentive plan, but we have a new HIM Director who would like to institute an incentive plan and the administrator over our department has laid down the law and decreed that all transcriptionists not making minimum in the department will be written up. Problem is according to Meditech line totals that we have been given, that would be about half the department.
The transcription supervisor has taken our concerns to the new director who told the MT Supervisor to hold off on writing people and has taken home all the line counts from the last month and she is going over them with a fine tooth comb this weekend.
I am not a very trusting soul by nature, so I am doing a little research on my own. I've been in this business for about 15 years. I started out in a hospital and have worked for a few services at home and am now back in the hospital setting. So I know a few things about line count and I consider myself to be pretty well informed on trends and technology in the industry. I would like to walk into our next department meeting armed with as much knowledge as possible. So I have come up with some questions that I would like some fellow MTs to answer, give opinions, and maybe even direct me to websites or individuals who could give me a better understanding of Meditech and Cerner. Here are my questions:
- Is it possible for an MT to have access to her line count in Meditech or is strictly a management function? Any MTs that work in Meditech on this board, do you currently have access to your line counts and if so, how do you check them? Is it an option on the main menu after you log into Meditech?
- How is a line defined in Meditech? (i.e. 65 cpl, with spaces, without spaces)
- How is a line defined in Cerner?
- What abbreviation Expanders work with both Meditech and Cerner?
- Examples of incentive plans (if anyone would like to share that with me that would be great, if not I completely understand).
- Measuring productivity by minutes of dictation versus typed lines.
- What would be the minimum minutes required for an 8-hour day?
- How would one structure an incentive program based on minutes?
I was thinking of presenting the idea that we keep track of productivity using minutes instead of lines since there is such a discrepancy in Meditech. I also worry that if an incentive plan is put into place and we are still typing blind into Meditech, what's to keep management from shaving off a few lines here and there?
Feel free to email me or post here any responses. Either is fine. I really appreciate any input, comments, or just plain old supportive posts would be nice too! 
My mail carrier just informed me that the mail is sorted by
prisoners as part of their work. Now do you feel safer and more secure?
Block her E-mail, return mail unopened
On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not -- and if they are blocked they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable". If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted. But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone. If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.
I'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits. What's up with MQ? Any speculation? My mail is general and not specific to my office. Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?

You have to click . . .(sm)
on the "eye" and then the foot pedal tab. Then you can input 2 or 3. But it will not take effect until to download the next job.
Click on history
It states that in Nov. 2004 Warburg Pincus and Soros Private Equity Partners acquired Spheris. It is right on their history page.
I use GearPlayer and when I click (sm)
"start," "programs" and find "GearPlayer", when I highlight Gearplayer I'm given the option of "tools" and then I can test my footpedal. Just wondering if perhaps your footpedal will be controlled by whatever program you are using to run it? Try checking under your programs listed and see if there are any options there. Or try rebooting your computer, maybe and see if that resets something??? I hope these suggestions help you!!
Right click on your desktop (sm)
and select Arrange Icons and uncheck Auto Arrange.

This one seems to only do the mouse click
part, and doesn't let you move the mouse. It says you can use one pedal for the mouse click, one instead of the ALT key, and one for the CTRL key. So you would still have to take your hand off the keyboard to move the darned mouse. At least that's the way I read it.
You have to right click the file and
save it to your computer. Then open express scribe and load the files from wherever you saved them.
When you click on the C: drive,
'Documents and Settings'? That is the folder that I would double click on in the C: drive folder, and then 'Owner'. My 'My Documents' folder is inside the 'Owner' folder.
Did you try with a right mouse click instead
xx
I don't think it works that way. Usually you right click and tell it
what directory to save to. Once it saves the file then you open it and do the test. This is the way I've tested several times. If you are testing using and MTTest test this is the way it is done.
If you click on "posted by", you get a -
"send an email" form that pops up, where you have to put YOUR email info, but it doesn't disclose theirs.
Still.... I'm always wary!
In your post click on the FTP
and it will give you a definition of an FTP. Any words underlined and in purple in your posts if you click them, a definition appears. This may help explain it. Also, you can look under Wikipedia if you Google FTP.
CLICK ON FORMAT,
Then the arrow at the bottom to bring up more choices. Pick "background", then choose the color you want.
click settings then...sm
under Playback tab, adjust the Auto Backstep on Stop (0-5000ms). 1000ms = 1 second.
Click on Subscriptions above.
Choose daily digest from the options.
You can't just right click on the file itself?
That's what I understood you could do. Again, I don't have any dss files to try it on, so I'm shooting in the dark. Sorry about that.
Click on View and ..... sm
see if Thumbnail view is selected. If so, just click on it again and the "print preview/thumbnail view" will disappear.
WIth mine, all I have to do is click in the
box where the actual word is and type over it, then click change.
WE, the MTs, do not do EMR, EMR is point and click
done by doctors or nurses.
If the doctor of your son is 'typing' into her computer, she is probably doing her own MTing.
How can people be pro or con EMR if they do not even know how and what it is doing and by whom (not who!)
Some people, even MTs think that VR equals EMR, it does NOT.
it works, just click on it.........nm

What did you click so that you received the
copy of the test? If you clcked the 'send' button and afterwards you received the completed copy of your test unedited) what's the problem, as your test was already gone. How could you have cheated if your test was already sent?
They immediately sent you a copy of your submitted test, unedited. for your files, as one cannot save testfiles.
I do not understand where your problem is?
Just wait for their response and I hope you get hired!
P.S. You should be able to just double click on the header.

When I click Careers and try to get to job back
Am I overlooking something? Having an operator error? Or do we not have a job bank anymore? Thank you!
Click on the MT News board here
You will see two articles posted that Spheris has hired another 300 Indian workers with plans for 700 more in southern India. They outsource big-time. I checked with them 6 months ago and told them no thanks.
