Congrats on getting the docs to move to digital! 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!

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.

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.

Where exactly is your documentation
I say keep documentation from your
boss stating you are to leave this off your log. Otherwise, you might be fired for putting it even when she/he told you to. Doctor's are the biggest babies!!
Really?! Is there some sort of documentation...
we can access to confirm that? That's just far out. Ever been in the lunch line in the hospital cafeteria with doctors discussing cases while waiting for the fricassee to be dished out? What about these third-world countries where the work is being outsourced...they have 2 generations living in the same abode--think there's any privacy screening or dedicated office there?! Sounds like bureaucratic bull poopie to me. Kind of like asking "how old are you and do you have kids" without asking. I'd take a picture of me at a nice fancy-pants office set up at Staples just out of spite if I was asked such a thing. How the heck do you prove something like that unless you make a home visit?! Somethin' just don't jive there is all I'm sayin'.
Please provide documentation. Thanks
Feedback on SPI Healthcare Documentation
Does anybody know anything good or bad about this company? I am looking for a good MT employment position, and I have been burned before (by Voice Systems--they don't pay!).

be armed with knowledge and documentation
Along with sending all employees W2s, a copy of every employee's W2 is transmitted along with a W3 with the totals of FICA/MED and Fed taxes.
The problem probably arises from what was sent in to IRS and Social Security that raised a flag. I really don't think that the SE part set off the flag. MQ might have tried to do a switch-a-roo and sent in a 1099 with the transmission. After you go in for the examination, this will probably clear it up. When I was with MQ, they sent me a W2 and a 1099, and was always leery of this but never had a problem. I left them in 2000 because of lack of work but always wondered about the dual reporting.
Just fax Admin proof, your documentation, that

"As a patient, I worry less about WHERE my records are being transcribed, and more about WHO is doing the transcription. I would opt for a qualified CMT in India handling my records over an unqualified individual transcribing from their dining room table with little experience and no security - where anyone could walk into their "home office" and access my information."
That's a laugh. She'd rather have a "qualified CMT in India" (where there is no HIPAA or anything like it) than an "unqualified individual transcribing from their dining room table..." Why am I supposed to assume that this picture of a dining room slacker is the opposite of an Indian MT?
How about another option, Ms. Fox: (Lemme guess: Karen Fox???) How about entrusting your records to a highly qualified American MT with professional standards & work ethic & who would do her/his best to protect the confidentiality of your records even if there were no laws against doing so, whose native language is American English, but who hasn't bothered to take some bogus test thought up by the chicks in Modesto to fund themselves, self-appointed guardians of all things MT? Now there's a novel idea.
Apparently she hasn't read the publication
http://mtindia.info/news/latest/heartland-information-services-spryance-inc.-merge.html
which would beg to differ with her contention that Indian MTs don't get any special pricing.
Well heck. My workload was cut to less than half after the hospital I work for began offshoring to people AHDI credentialed, people who have a cost of living that is a small fraction of mine & who can do the work I do for a small fraction of what I can do it for. I feel so much better knowing that at least they don't get a lapel pin.
Worker's Comp can be so complicated, and documentation is everything.....
The other complicated issue with this situation is the fact that many physicians are no longer taking on Worker's Comp cases, in new or well established patients, because of the complicated criteria for correct documentation and the long wait on overdue payment from BWC. In my area, several physicians have thrown in the towel with WC cases and no longer handle them. The patients are referred to Occupational Health Services in most cases, or told to go to Fast Track (ER service) for immediate treatment and documentation that is relevant to the injury. It is good if your family physician does accept WC cases. It is also good that he has decided to return the money to his employer and return to the doctor's office and treat the injury as it is, as a work related injury. In a situation like this, Documentation is everything, so the sooner he gets back to the doctor- the Better! Hope all goes well for him.
additionally, ask, as well as receive, written documentation.

Good for you for helping her make an INFORMED decision before taking the CMT exam. I can't imagine anyone knowing the full scope of AHDI's nefarious practices still wanting to take their exam.

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.
with such great documentation, it sounds to me like you should be able to call the labor board
or at least unemployment...it is something you really should consider. there are civil service jobs, if you do not want to work at home, and you can get help finding a job that way.
this is what is needed when going to the labor board so they get a clear-cut look at what is happening in this business.
just because it saves a buck, should not mean employees should be able to be treated like dirt...
you have been pushed out of your job, sounds like, and that at least qualifies for unemployment.
believe me, any other job you find out there will be almost the same, but you could collect some money while you look for something with the same pay, am I correct?
SE or not, too, you have lost YOUR LIVELIHOOD. what do people think, like okay you have no way to make a living now...
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.
Your information is probably more secure than ever before.

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.
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.
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.

MQ transfer
Don't bother - they are now transferring those "wonderful" Birmingham employees elsewhere and the company is going to the dogs.
MQ Transfer
Would you mind telling us where you were transferred to?? One o f the MT's in our office is ruuning into the same problem you had--she works 7 days a week and runs out of work in all of her 4 accts but yet they (Foxboro) will call her on monday morning to tell her that they are out of TAT in her primary act. She did exactly what you did and used another ID number and lo and behold there was all the work, being held for someone else
Transfer
I was transferred from Old Bridge, N.J. to Warminster, PA. Old Bridge closed March 31. Another MT, who is an email friend of mine, also works out of Foxboro and she is out of work a lot lately, too.
How do you transfer
AutoText from Word to a disk or flash drive. I can't figure out how to get it on there. TIA
office transfer
I have heard of employees changing offices. I agree about DocQScribe and line count issues, but after trying a couple other companies out I decided it wasn't so bad after all. Good Luck!!
MQ transfer ? for Buffey
Buffey,
On the company board you mentioned you work for the Columbus Ohio office, now your saying someone in your office (Foxboro) had some problems. Do you work out of both Columbus AND Foxboro? I'm confused
Is there a way to transfer shortcuts...
from Word and Wordperfect to Shorthand. I sure hope, it would save SO much time.
Thanks all!

Need HELP to transfer expansions
I want to transfer my shortcuts (expansions) from DocQScribe to Microsoft office word. Is it possible to do this? Can anyone tell me where to go for instructions/guidelines on doing this? Please help!
transfer autocorrect
If you are using the same version of MS Word you can just replace the ".acl" file with the one you have. It does not need to be converted. This "may" work even if not the same version.
You should be able to find the correct location by doing a Windows search for "*.acl"; however, if there are files in multiple locations, start Word and add or delete something from Autocorrect, then close Word. Repeat the search and find the most recently modified .acl file and rename it. Then copy your old file into that same folder. Open Word back up and your old Autocorrect things should be there.
If this does not work and/or you still need a text file, let me know and I will try to help further.
AutoCorrect transfer...sm
Hi,
What would be the easiest way to transfer AutoCorrect entries from one computer to another?
