me too -- it was well researched/designed...

I've thoroughly researched it, thank you.
Go type "Ameriplan Scam" into Google to see what comes up. Then go type in Ameriplan lawsuit to see what comes up. I don't care who signed you up. It's an MLM. The discount cards are NOT accepted at your local physician or pharmacy. My former employer filed a lawsuit against them as well for false advertising as an "insurance" provider.
Researched on Google
I found nitropatch, not capitalized, one word
I've researched this some, but
It seems that from what I've seen no one wants to actually define what is required under HIPAA.
My understanding is that a strong encryption is required, what type is a little unclear. When I've googled HIPAA compliant encryption, I find that the encryption strength required by HIPAA is symmetric key of 128 bits or asymmetric key of 1024 bits. Any type of encryption that meets this should be okay.
Rijndael AES encryption fits that standard and is fast and reliable, and is the NIST-approved Advanced Encryption Standard. That's what our government sets as approved encryption for their use, so I figure they can't ding me if I use it too!
Personally, I use DESlock. It seems to work quite well, has a free trial, free licensing for personal use, and is reasonably priced for business use. It is also the only "all-in-one" I've found that handles file encryption, ftp, volume encryption, and email encryption.
Hope that helps! The whole thing is sort of clear as mud. :-)
I was in teh same boat as you. I researched
and found Humana One, $193 a month for myself and 2 children. Covers rx, and 2 office visits. You can find inexpensive coverage out there until your insurance kicks in.
I designed my own site using register.com
.
If we've researched our brains out, and STILL
is also unwilling to help, then the learning of that particular term stops there. I hate to tell you this, but MTs learn new things a MULTITUDE of different ways. And believe me, QA is not only just a small fraction of where our information comes from, but it's also the LAST place most of us turn, for the same reasons stated in multiple posts above.
PS: If you're paid LESS, and yet you know so much more than the rest of us lowly MTs, why do you sell yourselves so cheaply?
Aria is not designed to have transcription
I used this garbage briefly when I worked in house for an oncology practice last year. The transcription manager spent $5k on Stedman's only to find that it wasn't compatible. She probably should have checked that out before she spent the money, huh? I worked there for four months typing every single character of every word. Fortunately we were paid hourly. Theoretically it is not compatible with Word, but we all had "normals" that we had created for the doctors that we would cut and paste into it, so I'm not sure where the incompatibility comes from. Maybe from the fact that the transcription manager wasn't that computer literate.
I had many of the same issues you do with the lag on the text. We would type and then literally have to wait a full minute for it to get onto the screen. One of the ways I found around that was to turn my computer off every night. IT told us to just log off and leave them on and when I did that I would get the lag. If I turned it off, no problems. I quite frankly didn't care what IT thought at that point.
The nice part about it is you can put some decent templates in - or whoever has access to that can. They can insert the vitals and lab work automatically if it's set up for it.
I looked at the Aria website when I was using the program and didn't see anything about transcription, so I think it's designed to truly be a point and click system with no transcription whatsoever. Some doctors are always going to want narrative reports, so a true point and click is never going to exist, imo. It's expensive, and I didn't think it was that great, at least from my viewpoint of using it. When I was at the clinic last year, they were supposedly one of the first ones to have it and they had spent some horrible amount of millions to get it.
There were ways to work around it so that we could be sort of productive - primarily with saving the normals for each individual doctor - and I don't know if they managed to get any kind of Expander or dictionary program that worked with it. The clinic I was at also didn't do their research on the sound files, which I don't think came with Aria. They had to get a separate voice recording system, and then the Transcription manager and her pseudo-assistant had to actually move the work over to each transcriptonist every day. It was horribly inefficient.
Good luck. It has a few good points, but the bad points far outweighed them from what I saw from the transcription end. I think from the practice management end it's a decent program. It was just designed by someone who had never worked with the medical records division before, imo.
Positively! When I designed the specs for this pc a few months ago, I made sure it would be...
VISTA READY.
Who designed the cover for Guide to HIPAA Privacy Rule published by Stedman's?

These keyboards are designed after the original IBM keyboards that
have the "clicky, audible sound" when pressing the keys - not the hushed, soft, nonexistent touch & feel of the newer keyboards.
Think it depends on what you've learned on & "typed" on as to your preference regarding touch, sound feedback, etc.
When my original IBM keyboard was going on the blitz(1995),I searched far & wide for a company to repair such and/or replace it. This company has repaired such - several times. This company does offer clones of the original IBM that are very comparable to the original. They also have other keyboards available made by their company, but I have no personal knowledge as to their touch, etc.
As a side note, this company will repair most model keyboards for a very nomimal fee if you have a favorite you don't want to part with - ask for Jim Owens - he's a doll-babe !!
I know this company makes several of their own keyboards, but what I believe mdlfcrs is referring to is not known to the newer transcriptionists. In other words, the keyboard she/he and I are talking about is not ergonomic, soft-touch or mushy feeling. It goes back to the days of the typewriter - you heard it, you felt the keys - a totally different feeling compared to most "computer keyboards" -
