Not very organized. Had more than 1 platform to work on

I had 3 accounts and had to learn new platform for each.  I didn't stay with them very long.  Found a better place.

Transhealth is very organized, great benefits..horrible platform
Maybe it was just me but i never made it through training. It certainly could have been a lot easier than having to open up 3-4 programs to get going. I found it to be time-consuming and in a production-based atmosphere, this did not cut it. On the other hand, maybe others think the program is wonderful, but I sure did not. I have used Dictaphone EXText and that is way easier.
not organized enough
I have to agree with In My Opinion. I have dealt with Linda Kelley in the past, and my experience was not a pretty one. She was great in the beginning, but then she left the company she was originally contracting from and everything went downhill from there. We hardly ever got paid on time, and I have a real hard time believing that it has changed, especially since I have heard otherwise from current people within the last few weeks.

I will agree that if you get your production requirements and were there when expected she left you alone, but IMO I need to get paid to show up on time, first and foremost. If she ever gets that corrected than I would consider working for her, but at this point I haven't heard that it is corrected.
they are not that organized
and do not respond or reply very well
Not so organized...
I applied, did all the testing, was sent all the hire paperwork, faxed it back and never heard another word back. I tried emailing numerous times and all I got was that they were really busy.. Busy?? I just faxed my personal information, social security information etc..testing, got set up for the FTP file transfer and then no one called me back. That always give me a bad first impression and disorganization is my pet peeve. I wouldn't apply again with them if they were the last transcription company left. But...to each his own, maybe you'll have better luck
Just get all your stuff organized while
you wait to get set up. I like to have a ring binder to keep all the account specifics and company phone numbers in, etc. Use tab sheets and label them. If they send me a list of dictators, I print it out and tab that alphabetically too. It's just quicker for me and I can write in notes, like, sounds like Phillips, see Filipp or whatever. Plus new ones. Look on line for address lookups for the state of the account or accounts you get (whenever you find out). I use the State of __ Board of Medical Examiners' sites.


Never worked for them but they don't seem organized at all..sm
I had applied and spoken with a recruiter multiple times.  They just don't seem organized or very professional in a sense that I would not trust them.  Their benefits seemed great but I had that aching nag in the back of my mind that something wouldn't be right with them - that it would be a disaster.  So I turned them down.  You may have a different feeling and it may work out but with all of the confusion and problems that I had BEFORE working for them, I just said No.  And, it seems like they can be a bit grumpy and not for ya.  You know what I mean?  Best of luck to you.  I know it is scary switching jobs when you are an MT.
Personally, I think TT is more organized than SG.
I applied for SG, got an immediate response because I had been on the Escription platform for over 3 years and 15 years of MT experience. They told me they needed someone ASAP and asked me to the do testing that day, which I did....and then NOTHING.  No response. My emails to them went unanswered, which I found rude. If for some reason, I did not pass the test (which was extremely easy), then out of common courtesy, they could have contacted me with a Dear John email even. I wasted my time immediately doing the testing only to be blown off. Very unprofessional in my opinion. That right there says a lot about a company. A few years ago, I did apply with TT, got offered the job and did work with them for a few months. I ended having to quit for personal reasons, nothing on their side as they were very organized and nice to work for. So, they get my vote. 
MW also uses their own software, Merit, which is very easy and organized. nm

500 emails in two months?!?! Not my idea of an organized company. No thanks. LOL

Very heavy ESL on my acct, needed a Cphone, other things. They were very organized in their
s
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts.  Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others.  Overall, wonderful company.
I believe it depends on what platform u work on. I work on
Extext and I love it!!!!! I have not transcribed even part time in years. First night in less than 2 hours hit 300+ lines. Second night a little over 2 hours hit 350+ lines. This is all learning a new system so I find it interesting and fun.
How is this platform to work on?

Is it productive for MTs? Can ShortHand work with it. Thanks for any info


New platform and new work
The new software is just awesome and I hear we have a large hospital starting next week.  Give them a call if you are looking for work.  I can not help you with the other two you mentioned but can wish you good luck with your search.  L.
What platform do you work on?
I really love ExText and I know they do have accounts on that platform.  I did apply and got to the interview stage but then decided to back out because of the bad remarks on this site. I certainly hope I won't be sorry.  How is their cpl rate compared to others? Thanks.
How is Vianeta platform like to work on?
zz
Which platform do you work on at Medware?

nm


Super platform to work in.
Emdat is by far one of the most user friendly and productive platforms I have used.  MTs working with me have commented on the ease of learning and a great manual coupled with a wonderful tutorial to get you started.  Additionally, it has many features that include automatic log which shows you where you are at any point in the day .. email me if you have any specific questions.
How fast is the platform you work on?
Because the platform I am on is slower than the snail in my backyard.
Does anyone work for ProScript? I'd like to know about the platform, please sm
What Expanders does it support? It is difficult to maneuver in and get lines? I have an offer...
Work for them, they use Shorthand and platform sm

is Acuity at least on my particular account.


2003 does not work with their platform
Only 2000 and 2002.
What companies have a decent platform to work on, .

have employee status, lots of work, and minimal confusion and disorganization?   Can do the big 4 for acute care.


I'd like to know the bad platform and which accounts run out of work. I'm supposed to have bac
accounts to work on...Please email me.. I cant afford to work on the Mojave Desert LOL
Ortho MTs? Can I ask which platform you work on and is it productive??
Thanks..
I work on the Scribe platform but there are many other platforms..
just depends on what account you get hired in for. On this particular account, you can look up old reports. We do have part-time employees but I believe they are slowly going away from part-time into full-time.
Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.
:
Staff is great-no work and too many platform issues.

Medware, good platform, plenty of work
I have worked for them almost 3 years now, they are a better than average company and pay on time every other Friday.  Check them out, you will be happy you did.  Kim.
Yet, second company thinks it should work and not mess up other platform (sm)
I will feel better when the actual technician sees about loading it. Not that the recruiters don't know their job, just nervous.

I had others report they are using 1 computer for 2 different companies and maybe having to use a second pedal. Let's hope we are lucky.


Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  Good luck on whatever you decide. 
Same experience...awesome to work for, horrible platform..sm
I've been an MT for close to 20 years and am most productive on ER accounts where I can create my own templates and Expanders out the ying yang. After 2 months and the worst line counts of my entire career, I had to move on. I do want to point out that PM does have some of the nicest, most helpful staff I've ever worked for! The platform is the ONLY reason I left.
Does JLG have nice accounts to work on and is their platform user friendly.
:
TT has plenty of work. The platform is super easy to learn and
I'm not having any trouble at all making good line counts doing ESL discharge summaries. Super nice people as well.
great friendly people, IC work, pay so-so (9-1/2 cpl), clumsy platform. nm

Current information on WordZXpressed, how they are to work for, accounts, platform etc.. anyone??

Thanks for any input you may have.


Northeast Transcription, any info? Platform? Work flow? Anything?

I work on a great platform, have good QA support and make

a lot more than 8 cpl.  I even have GREAT benefits, which are more than affordable.  There are good companies out there that pays for experience!!!!


I currently work at JLG and love it. Great, user friendly platform.
They leave you alone to type.  Pay on time, never late.  Pretty well organized and good communication.  And they do not offshore!  I be sticking around.   Cubicles 






Transhealth editors? Anyone with information on pay, work schedule, benefits, platform
I would appreciate any information before taking their test without knowing the scoop.  Thanks!
They use Dictaphone EX Text platform. Very user friendly and easy to work on.
It is all strictly internet based. No extra phone lines required. They do reimburse your high speed internet up to I think $40 a month, too.
What in your experience is the most efficient Word-based radiology platform to work on? nm

RadNet
I love it here; easy platform, plenty of work, great communication
@@@
Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
I finally found a home.
Easy platform, assigned accounts, always plenty of work. Great OM and boss. nm

RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
Easy platform, PTO if you are employee, production incentive, direct deposit, work flow varies on
different accounts, but usually have enough to keep busy, lots of QA feedback.
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
