You don't enter the minutes that you type, just the lines for the day.

what is their daily lines requirement
I use to work for Spheris which I loved I just got tired of working the Sa-Tu for two years and they would not change from schedule. 
I'm about 300 lines short daily. I've had some
dictators that were absolutely horrendous and the my reports come back from QA with blanks too, but then I have some really good dictators.   The changes are driving me crazy.   I wish they could explain things one time in a way that the MTs could understand.  I'm sure there are more changes to come, though they have had at least part of the account for a long time so I don't understand all the changes now. 
SGS require 2400 daily lines?
Does anyone know if it is true that Superior Global Solutions out of Texas requires 2400 daily lines to qualify for full time and receive benefits?  If so, is there enough work to actually make that many daily lines?  Are they a good company to work for?  Thanks in advance, all responses appreciated.

How many lines do you average daily on eScription?
Doesn't matter where you work, how many lines do you average daily on eScription?
Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?

think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour

1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
The intranet is now back up!
Yay!
W2 were mailed 01/21 according to the intranet
Check the Keystrokes intranet!!!!

Lee has posted info on what you should do if you have not received you W2.

Keystrokes Rocks!!!!


The Intranet is down but being reset. Try again in the morning if you do not get in.
I just called my lead in a panic, but she said not to worry as long as they are in by the 31st at midnight we are OK and if it were down then, they would take them manually. Has not happened to me in the 2 years I have been with them!
Any other Keystrokers not able to access the intranet again?
It has been having a lot of problems this past week with going down. Has been down all day today.
The intranet will be down until Monday morning. sm
The upgrade pulled the system down but it will be back up by Monday morning.
There is a note on the intranet stating they are working on changes and that all of them should be c
If I were you I would email Lee directly and let her know that you havent heard anything back.

In the past week I have been added to two accounts.

THANK YOU KEYSTROKES/LEE
Intranet is only thing universal, otherwise ask your lead
We all have to enter our lines on the intranet each day (unless it's down!), but other than that it's account-specific. Better touch base with your lead.
I have had to enter them, as there
were barely any.  But once I put them in I have no problem.  Just click on tooks and auto correct, type it in, click add and okay.  That is all I have had to do.
But I would have to enter it all in under another
instead of two separate ones in shorthand.  Either way I had to replicate my entire list of abbreviations.  And I'd rather be able to type in the same thing and get the heading - bolded or not bolded - in both instances instead of having to remember to put an x after it for one and not the other.
I would say enter at own risk...
They are great at first but run out of work very easily...emails go unanswered..switching from account to account...
a hard return is when you must hit the enter key
x
Ah....the voices of intelligence enter
You are so right-on!!!  There are those who complain that they couldn't get any work at TT.  I'm not going to call them liars or anything else but that has NOT been my experience.  But then.....I will type on ANY account, do any type report, any ESL no matter how bad and even if after all these years some of them look like Swiss cheese, and a few of them still do, I'll do them anyhow.  I can work for any company, even now, and my money will be about the same.  I paid my dues.  I started doing MT at 50-freakin-cents per hour!!!!  The problem these days, IMHO, is that people believe those ads that say, take our course and immediately make $35,000/year while you rock your baby.  LOL  There are dues to pay in every career.  I've paid mine, reaped the rewards and now............I'm painting gourds.
Enter phrases by using the first letter of each word.
Resize your platform window so you can use Shorthand's suggestion window. Having up to 9 shorcut choices and using a consistent system for abbreviation will make it almost impossible for you to forget an abbreviation.
I have to enter an extensive amount of information in the headers and

footers and look up doctors' names, patient info, etc., and not getting paid for that work.  I work for the Ohio office.  You're lucky to have the correct line count.  From what I've read, others on this board aren't as fortunate as you.


It is an expander, so it is up to the user to enter the words and phrases. nm

C-phone, yes you dial into the hospital system, enter

your code and the work comes off.  You sign off one report and the next report comes up.


I don't work on Meditech, so I can't speak for that.  Some love it, some hate it depending on what version it is. 


Remember that new "graduates" enter the field every day, so lots of "companies" will

My Virus Protector would not let me go onto InHealth's webpage. Enter at your own risk!

Is do you do a daily log. I currently do, but

I know different accounts do things differently.  The work is submitted to the client differently. 


I don't know enough about the accounts to offer any help, but if she is already working then her lead should have provided this information. 


Oh my GOD.... no wonder they have ads up daily. THANK YOU! NM

Emailing daily log........ sm

Do yourself a huge favor.  If you don't have a scanner, buy one!  I keep a handwritten log and at the end of the day I just scan it into an email.  You certainly don't need another screen to contend with. 


...rather than on a daily basis? Thanks.

Daily Work and TAT sm
I just started a new IC position last Monday.  I had one day with some work last week (due to holiday) and yesterday there was nothing and today a 2 minute job.  The company says they do not know when or who will dump the jobs.  The TAT is 24 hours and work could be dumped any time of day.  I report for work at about 7 a.m.  Do you just sit around all day waiting for work?  Should there be a cut-off time when it's too late to start?  We do have lives too.  What would you do?  No other job expects you to wait around without being paid.  I must be thick or something.  Thanks for the input.
Daily Work and TAT............
It is probably just the holidays. Just hang in there. I have a very flexible schedule, so I know what you mean about waiting all day. I am home all day (homebody) and like the fact that I can check in, work when needed and get my house clean, take care of my kids and cook, etc in between time. I work for a GREAT MTSO and have never had an out of work situation until the holidays. It will pick up. :)
I have never seen this in the news, which I keep up on daily.

The Daily Transcription

Does anyone know anything about this company? I am going to be testing with them, but I just wanted some opinions first.


Thanks!


I saw the daily report
yesterday that said nothing was nefarious and that this is supposedly normal. I can tell you, I do not remember it being slow at this time of year either. Part of me wonders if like someone else had posted that some of the accounts are not starting to give their work to other vendors. Another part of me wonders if they are doing this to get people to quit so they can hire on people at lower rates. I mean it would stay in line with their value of money.
It is done on the computer daily
though intranet.  They should give you instructions on how to do it after they have set you up in the system. 
so why are they hiring on mt daily?? nm
nm
They want you to meet your daily
lines counts. I don't think that is asking for too much.
They used to have a job board ad almost daily
...now you never see anything from them. Wonder if they are losing accounts.
Daily changes make me . . .
want to commit myself to a psych hospital. Driving me crazy. Acid tongue supervisor makes everything worse.
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

whats the $$$ on that daily incentive?

How high does the daily incentive go? Please.
Thanks.

I used to get 2000+ daily with one hospital

oh my god that work rocked!  It was 95% normals and work was plentiful.  Imagine, ortho reports that were 2 pages long and all you had to do was type in your little Expander shortcut and poof there was the whole report whenever the dictator said Please use my _____ report.  Ka-ching! 


Ahhhh...the salad days.  I remember them with such a sad fondness...it was the kind of thing that was just so good you just knew it wouldn't last.


Now I'm all bummed again.  Where did I put that cheesecake....


 


Running out of work daily
We have started running out daily, a lot of the time when I sign on in the morning there is no work on my primary, maybe not even secondary. Our supervisor has asked many to switch shifts, to work the night shift and I know 10 or so have done so. It seems we were getting out of TAT in the evenings, so NOW it is over compensated and there is not much during the day, before noon, anyway. Used to work 8-10 hours OT every week, now that is down to 5-6 or less hours OT. I don't know what to do. I need my hours and some OT, too. Can't work nights.
What is their daily line count?
xx
can anyone tell me about sending daily report and how
you keep track of that? You can e-mail me if you'd rather. Just started and curious if you have to write down all your jobs at the end of shift of is there an easier way of sending this info?
MDI-MD, but you set the daily line count
x
Yes it is QA's job - and they send feedback daily

Every day, hand typed, sent to the supervisor, who then passes it onto the MT.


Of course, many of the errors are seen time and time again because the MTs either:


A) don't read the feedback 


B) don't care


C) both of the above


 


WHAT??? I talk to the office almost daily. sm
I lead a few accounts and have been training on a new one that starts in a few days. The phone number has not changed in 5 years and it should still forward from the old one. This site takes off phone numbers if we post them, so please email me.

Not only are they still in business, but still growing. I spoke with someone there today that said that they doubled in size last year and will this year too.

I am just excited about the new insurance!!!!!
