SmartMed vs Keystrokes

Thanks for answering.  It's nice to hear positive things about someone who actually works there (Keystrokes). 


Never heard of TSI, Inc. either (SmartMed).  Any other information would be greatly appreciated. 


Keystrokes/Smartmed
Anyone have any information on the two?  A preference?  I have read conflicting reports on the boards, but a lot of the information on Smartmed is from last year.  Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Keystrokes versus Smartmed

Any opinions.  Keystrokes sounds insanely good, but with everybody going there to work, I am afraid they will be overbooked.  I heard Smartmed was hard dictation. Is this possibly truth?


 


 


Any info on SmartMed? sm
Considering applying for company.  Any information on their health care coverage, if it is good coverage or not.  How are the supervisors? Is pay on time?  Any equipment to rent or anything?  Thanks.

Need current info about SmartMed....

How is the platform for Radiology...anyone know?  Posting on Job Seekers board is for $1.139 per report....is this good or low?  Any other information would be wonderful....thanks!


SmartMed info please? I think out of Texas

Any new info on editing for SmartMed out of Humble, TX? sm
Do they offshore?  Is pay on time?  Good, bad or ugly?  TIA.
If you check archives there is info there on SmartMed, don't know about
other company.  I tested for SmartMed (they went by a different name though) and was offered an MT position, which I turned down.  They called about a month later to offer me a QA position because they had started offshoring work.  Not much nice to say about them from recent posts. 
Any current info on SmartMed? I saw something about the platform not being sm
user friendly, but otherwise not too much.  Their pay scale seems to be good, but she did say it is for a teaching hospital, so that probably means 95% ESLs.  Anyway, any insight is appreciated.  Thanks!
Can anyone give me current info on SmartMed?

I want to know how flexible they are with their IC positions and how easy the platform is.  Do they really work IC or are they just employees without the benefits?


I just Googled SmartMed and immediately got info on Summit..(sm)
Good luck!
Can I get some info on Keystrokes
Rad MTs are able to get on a daily basis? Please. TIA.
Keystrokes info, please
You are paid by report, right?Could you tell me if the short reports/long reports equal out. Can you use your own expander program?  To have plenty of work and not be bothered all the time, that sounds good to me!
Info on Keystrokes please. TIA

Keystrokes Info
Okay, let's see. Yes, I had to test for this position. I have a strictly cardiology account. There are two ESLs who speak better English than some of the other dictators in the practice! We are about to get new, cheaper health insurance coverage, in March, I believe. The benefits appear reasonable to me. I am not in a typing pool. There is just me and another Transcriptionist on this one office account. By the way, I think you get health insurance benefits after 90 days, which is typical. Hope I answered everything!
Info on Keystrokes sm
Can anyone give me any information about Keystrokes? I'm having trouble finding any recent information on them. Thanks!
Some More Keystrokes Info
Well, J, I'll take some of your questions. The pay was higher than what was offered to me by other companies by a full cent per line. We are paid on the 1st and 15th, direct deposit, and check is in the bank by 10:00 that day. I love my primary and secondary accounts. I have plenty of work. Hope this helps - we'd love to have you!

Any new info on Keystrokes?
I have checked the archives and haven't found much recent info.  I would really appreciate the good, bad, and ugly.  Pay on time, benefits, flexible, etc.... Thanks in advance!
Keystrokes, need info. Good? Bad?
Any info would be appreciated.
Any recent info on Keystrokes
Does anyone have any experience with Keystrokes? I am getting kind of fed up with my company that I have been with for a year, and I just got an e-mail Keystrokes saying that my resume meets their requirements and sent me a questionnaire to fill out. I was wondering how the pay is, how the accounts are, the managers, and how easy their platform is to learn. Any info, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated!
Keystrokes and Meditech info please
I am going to work for Keystrokes on the Meditech platform and now I read horrid things about the platform.  I DON'T do well with donating my time to set up reports or to send them, and this appears to be the premise of Meditech...  Can somebody enlighten me?  Please tell me there is not a lot of wasted time (aka... DONATED TIME) on the meditech platform.  Thanks

Word ZPressed or Keystrokes? Any info on either company? I have heard both are reputable

Smartmed? I think they used to be TSI in TX?
I have searched the archives and see a lot of positive feedback about TSI, but nothing really as Smartmed.  I believe that these two companies are one in the same.  Anyone have any recent information that they can share?  Thanks!
SmartMed
Care to share?
SmartMed
Thanks for the info. I had no idea they were offshoring. Are you sure you have the right company? Transcription Solutions now SmartMed. Was it an acute care account?
SmartMed
Interesting! You learn something new everyday in this business.
SMARTMED pay
They really do not pay well. Very chaotic. Would not recommend it.
SmartMed, LP is the best!
This is a great company to work for.  The believe in teamwork.  Not many companies can say they still employ their first 2-3 employees since starting the business 24 years ago.  Too many employees to count  have been with the company for over 10 years.  I would say that speaks very highly of management.  With the owner and managers being  medical transcriptionists themselves, this has made a difference in how they handle their own employees.  Their pay is average or higher than many other nationwide transcription services.  Only those with superb work ethics and produce quality transcription can appreciate SmartMed, LP.  With what I've experienced in working for other companies in the past, I wouldn't work for anyone else. 
SmartMed
I work for SmartMed part-time doing radiology.  This is easy work for a fair price.  I have worked on and off for them over the past 20 years.  They are honest and fair and have never cheated me out of a dime. 
SmartMed is TSI
The company changed how it is structured in January and with that came a new name. Nothing more exciting than that. If you get on when you are supposed to and do your work, this company is great. They have excellent 3rd shift incentives.
SMARTMED
Run - don't walk away from this one. Very disorganized. Low pay. Not on par with national rates.
SmartMed

Does anyone have any information on editing for SmartMed? Is this a good company to work for?


SmartMed
Yes, the people were very nice, but the account that I was on was totally screwed up. Very unorganized. They may have gotten better after they lost the account that I was on, but the short time I was there, I did not have good experience. Yes, the pay was on time.
SmartMed
Awful company for me. Very disorganized. I would not recommend working for them at all!!! When I was there they didn't even have QA editors. So much work was going to the client wrong without any proofing from a QA editor. Pretty frightening in my opinion.
SmartMed, LLP/TSI
I have had nothing but positive interaction w/ this company. Pay rate is comparable; management is very helpful and keeps close watch on all accounts; very fair and trustworthy--not many companies can I say that about. Good benefits, too. Good luck.
SmartMed
Hello ~ Anyone have any info on SmartMed? I'm debating on taking a new position with them (transcription) but have some doubts. They're based out of Houston (I'm from Wisconsin)and was told there are quite a few ESL's which I'm not too experienced with. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
SmartMed

I am interested in Smart Med.  Does anyone have any information to offer?


smartmed
anyone have any info on smartmed?  I have a test to take for a position but I just thought I would ask here first if its worth my time.  Thank you in advance!
SmartMed
Anyone working/worked for SmartMed?  Pros and cons please.  Thanks.
smartmed
Worked for them for 4 days, hated it!! Never looked back.
smartmed
Several things why I quit. The editing was not voice but QA editing and you had to turn on track changes so you're correcting someone's transcription fresh off the farm so you pretty much have to change everything and add words they either didn't understand or just plain left out. Smartmed also said I was leaving out dictation after I got done editing, which after I finished editing, it went to yet another editor. Yeah right, I have only been doing this for 15 years and just randomly leave out words. Whatever! Also you had to log in on one site to download work, then log off and log onto another site to retrieve the work, then after 5 jobs you send the work in. A lot of toggling back and forth nonsense. Cannot make money doing that all day long. I just didn't like the QA editing aspect of the job, I'm used to voice editing so moved on to greener pastures. Good luck.
SmartMed

I almost did not accept their offer because of 2 reasons: the negative comments I found on the boards, and the generous pay. I thought to myself A company would not offer that much per line unless they are truly desperate.  I am glad I overcame my reluctance. They are the secret jewel of the MT companies. I have only worked on one account so my experience is limited. The account is challenging, but in good way. I have zero bad things to say about them - nothing but praise.
