HITS platform.... sm

Posted By: ex-Spheris II on 2005-08-14
In Reply to: Just received computer for Spheris - Can some explain what HIT platform is?

Didn't you get a HITS manual with your computer?  You should have.  It's a very user friendly program, "if" you get to use it.  I was trained on HITS and then ended up working on two accounts that didn't use it.  I was there a month and all I did was train, train and train.  Not for me.  I'm not saying that happens to everyone.  I'm pretty sure most of their accounts use HITS.

I am and have been on the HITS platform......sm
since I was hired by Healthscribe.  I love the HITS platform, and I am being told that Cornerstone is going to be a combination of both HITS/TWS, but as my TL puts on, on steroids.  She seems to think it is going to be a great thing.  I hope it is as good as she says, because I am really quite comfortable working in HITS.
Thanks. I have noticed some hits on the job board have over 1000 hits and I am thinking oh my!
:
No, but they had 342 hits on their ad, so I'd expect
they took the weekend off and won't contact anyone until later this week.
Hits just mean people looking. I always look,

I tell ya, when it all hits you the fall sm
is going to be much harder! I only hope folks won't be as unfeeling to you as you have been.

Folks do what they have to do to stretch a dollar my dear. It just hasn't hit you yet but it could and it a much bigger way.
I know personally that when DD hits the bank, I can take it out right then and thus withdrawals can
It does not take 3-5 days. That just is not so.

As far as it being the MT's fault, it is the MT's fault only for relying on their DD to be there! Sorry, but when DD is supposed to be in there, it is supposed to be in there. I have two bank accounts, one is for bills only and that is the one where the DD hits. If my DD were late, I would incur charges. Luckily I work for a company that pays on time and you can always rely on them to have that money in the bank on time.

Unfortunately, some of you work for the MTSO who apparently cannot do that and apparently there are more than one of them.

They should offer to pay your late charges due to their lack of responsibility. However, when the MT has had this happen once, I would hope they would learn their lesson than to rely on doing it again because apparently the MTSOs that do this have no conscience.
I think it's when a post keeps getting hits after it's already reached a certain # of viewings

Have to agree. Tax time hits companies, too.

EHR Deinstallation Trend Hits Phoenix

Publish Date: 7/30/09 - By Allison Tsai


Source: Medical Economics


Though the Phoenix area has seen a high adoption rate for electronic health records, it also is the first region to experience a “deinstallation” trend, according to a HealthLeaders-InterStudy report.


The trend to cancel EHR contracts, especially prevalent among smaller physician groups, is a result of training, functionality or affordability issues, and highlights the need for an affordable solution, according to the Phoenix Market Overview report.


The rapid adoption of EHR technology in Arizona stems from a 2005 executive order by then-Gov. Janet Napolitano, requiring that all healthcare providers install an EHR by 2010. The top hospital systems in the area, Banner Health and Catholic Healthcare West, along with several others, have installed EHRs, but are struggling with the same financial constraints as the small physician groups. EHRs require a significant financial investment in addition to expensive upgrades, according to the report. 


Long-term benefits of the technology include reduced transcription costs, lower chart and file storage expenses and the potential for reduced premiums on malpractice insurance, but in areas like Miami, where the recession is threatening the profitability of hospitals, EHR installation has been slow due to lack of funding for such projects.


Chris Clancy, a market analyst with HealthLeaders-InterStudy, says Phoenix may be the first area to experience the deinstallation trend due to its aggressive adoption of the technology, but will likely not be the last. In addition, physician shortages in Phoenix make it difficult for doctors and staff to carve out time for EHR training, Clancy says.


Ex-Spheris MT, HITS is a windows-based application...

you will type in.  It is very, very user friendly.  Frankly, it is the only aspect I miss about working for Healthscribe/Spheris.  Good luck!!


good, let them do all the India work, and take all the hits for law suits...
I wish they would monopolize the India market and totally stick with that...

I also posted an article about this a few weeks back, even with pictures of the offices in India (lot nicer than here).

hope they put all their money into it and then when technology takes all our jobs, they will have nothing.

Medquist, hate it or not, has invested rather in the technology, thereby will be the leaders in that. if I worked there I would train and learn everything I could about working with that technology because that eventually, in my opinion, will drive even Indian MTs into unemployment.
With over 5 million hits per month to this site, it is quite cumbersome to just pick out the bad
posts, so the entire thread goes. Besides that, generally there are a LOT of posts within a thread that are inappropriate.  Please don't think for a moment that I'm only referring to OSI.  I am referring to ANY company.  I am only asking that posters back up what they are saying with FACTS not innuendo.
There are so many hits on the job board for jobs that I wonder if people are qualified that respond
or just send in a resume if they are not.  Would be interesting to hear from some of these companies what type of response they are getting. 
And furthermore, you can see this hits a sore spot, this giving people backup accounts and then
you run out of them is also ridiculous. There you sit making less and less money and trying to learn multiple dictators and then guess what, that dries up.  Once you know that is what a company is doing, then you go to your alternate plans and never look back.  Sooner or later when MTs either decide no more or they get multiple jobs and they have to keep hiring and hiring which impacts their quality I am sure it will settle down.  At least, I would hope so although it doesnt seem to be right now.  Could be because of sending work offshore not sure.  All multiple backup accounts do is make it harder to make money and you have more problems with QA and your own quality because you just keep popping in and out of all these accounts that you really dont get to know that well.  Knowing an account well is the best way to go for quality and line count for sure, NOT multiple accounts.  All that does is help the MTSO keep the work caught up to the exact MINUTE. 
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL

On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly -  its a nightmare to work in. 


Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

Bad Platform. I personally know of 3 MTs who left because of the platform.
If you are like me, the bottom line is wages and what I get in my check. I have never worked for Amphion, but I personally know of 3 MTs who worked part-time at Amphion before quitting their other service to see what Amphion had to offer before it was too late. All 3 quit Amphion and stayed with their other service because of the Amphion platform. Too hard to make any decent lines.

Something to think about.

Here is one post from a couple days back:

Posted By: Amphion on 2005-12-02

To all of us trying our hardest to grab our work when it is available, and then still only make 24 bucks a day because of the garbage platform.

To each his/her own! I was on a different VR platform sm

and ran out of work constantly.  I have worked on several VR platforms and BeyondText is not the best, but it is not the worst either. 


Every company has good and bad.  Transcend was just not a good fit for me; however, it may be a good fit for you or the next person who comes along.


I love new technology and work on state-of-the-art platforms, the newer the better, so that typewriter theory of yours really does not jive here.


Every company has good and bad, it all depends on the individual MT and what that MT is looking for in a company. 


Good luck to you and if you choose Transcend, I hope it is a good fit for you! 


 


 


Platform
Any info at all on CareFlow platform?  Is is productive?  Any info appreciated. 
MDI-MD's pay & platform

1.  How do they pay in comparison to other companies?


2.  Can you access reports typed by other people or review the patient's old reports in Bayscribe?


3.  Do they furnish PC and/or charge a fee?


Thanks


Could you tell me what platform they use?

Platform???
DQS??
new platform
I really like the new platform, but it's always running out of work.  When there is work, I can get pretty good lines.
what is the best platform out there?
what is the best platform and what kind of money is "good money" in transcription?
What platform do they use? sm
Do they consider full-time to be 40 hours a week?
What platform do they use?
Any idea on the payscale?  Can you provide any other information?
platform
Okay, that is good to know. The account I would be on is on Medrite, which I have used before and like.

Thanks.
What platform do you use? nm

And if they don't get you with a bad platform,

then they overstaff your account.  I used to get over 20,000 lines before they overstaffed mine and started playing favorites, with cherry picking taking place.  (And don't say it can't happen, because it can and does right before my eyes all the time.)  I've been struggling to make the minimum to keep my benefits. 


And then they try to tell you how you're going to be making such great money when you go to voice recognition, which is a JOKE for someone who typically transcribes 250-300 lines an hour.


To read this board and find that now the incentive program is discontinued for new employees (who are now hired at a higher rate and given instant PTO) while the rest of us who were hired before November 1 have to scramble to get a higher line count in order to make what the newbies are making and have to wait a year before earning one minute of PTO only provides yet another example of the inequitable way this company operates.


I'm tired of all the games, the insulting of my intelligence with the fiction they invent, and the terrible, terrible program. 


And to all the cheerleaders out there:  Write down all the good things you have to say now, save it in a file, put it on your calendar for 6 months from now and THEN let us all know how you're making out.


As for me, I've found another job.


About which platform.......sm
Is your account still on the H platform? Is the the bo account? That's what I was on, and I am the one thinking of going back with the post above yours. If so, this is interesting to know ahead of time.
I believe you can use IT with the platform.

What platform do they use...
and are they employee only status or do they have IC also? Thanks!!
Both IC/SE, their own platform (sm)
which they are constantly upgrading in response to MT feedback, works much like Word, compatible with Instant Text, Shorthand, and Wordpad-based normals.
Could you tell me what platform

they use and if they are employee only? Do you have to be full time? Thanks much!!


Platform: their own (sm)
which works a lot like Word, accepts Instant Text, which the company will help you buy (they also have free IT classes and glossaries for many accounts). I like that they upgrade the platform based on MT feedback. Owner is known for hiring top tech staff and programmers. I'm an SE; they also hire employees. I don't think you have to be full time, but it's so easy to make the full time lines that you might want to be. I've done overflow work for probably 10 services in the last 5 years (in addition to working long term for 1 service), and I've never piled up the line count as easily as with ProScript nor been treated as well.
It is just a platform.
I worked on Softmed when I was in-house.  You are basically working in Word superimposed on Softmed.  I liked it when I used it.  If you are proficient in Word, you will do fine.   
What platform does - sm
TransHealth use?
platform
I work for them also and have found the TT/webtop platform to be slow with too many demos to search for and enter in. You must be on Vscript, would that be correct? And you don't enter any demos?
Platform
That would be fine. I just need to invest in something better for my MT's and for the company itself since we are growing tremendously. Thanks for the reply.
Do they use a platform or is it
ftp? What other software is needed? TIA!
OSI--platform?
anyone know what platform OSi (outsourcing solutions inc) uses and/or have any comments about how productive it is?
DSG platform?
Got an email from them about an interview tomorrow; what platform do they use-anyone know? Thank you
TRS platform?
I head it is word based - is this correct? Would like to be able to use my Stedman's spellcheck and ShortHand for windows.
TRS Platform
It is the Lanier CMT system and is a Word-based system.
It was NOT you, it was their platform, UGH

The BEST platform ever
I have worked for Cymed (now SPI) for almost a year now and I LOVE their platform! It is called Chartnet. It took me less than a day to learn how to use it and it almost never crashes. It is the most efficient platform that I have ever used and I plan on staying with them because of it.
SPI platform
I am thinking about testing with SPI for onocology work.  Does anyone know what platform they use?  Is it Word based?  Do you run out of work there?  Are you happy with the company?  Thanks!!!!
Platform
Does the platform allow you to see previous transcribed reports? Also wondering if they do any radiology.
Platform
Meditech
Can anyone tell me the platform for
