how horrible but Acusis/DRC outsources to India, just what Spheris will do with that easy account. n

very easy to learn - good platform
I have worked on a few different platforms and this one works well. Very explicit account specifics as well so it makes it much easier to do your job.
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

Pay is good, platform very easy. Got line count within days. (sm)
The people you work with/for are extremely helpful. There is an incentive plan which they will explain to you during interview process. No 401 match - that is a bummer. First year PTO only a few days, but picks up the next year.

Apply and have the recruiter go over it all with you. It is well worth the time.

Good luck.
I am not afraid of VR, as I learned it many years ago on a very good platform, but they did not cut

my line rate, but instead paid me for my knowledge in the medical field.  By the way, I made very good money back then, too.  Cannot allow my skills to be sold at one-half my current line rate.  I have more pride in myself and confidence in myself than to be paid that cut-rate by any MTSO out there.


I don't do clinic, but it is very easy
to make money with clinic dictation.  You usually have a limited number of dictators and can make lots of macros/normals and really produce a ton of lines. 
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)
.
I have very few applicants who can even do easy clinic notes,
Hiring is can be a total nightmare.
Yes they can put them to work on easy stuff, such as clinic

Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm

clinic for Spheris
pays 6.5; on the low side. I was on the same account, large multispeciality clinic with few ESL, for 4 years. They pay on time, my supervisor and QA were good. They have incentives. They do offshore. Their insurance is not good.
Easy platform...sm
Basically, I have several accounts that I work on, but for the most part all that you have to enter in is the patient's name, DOB, DOS...the rest is usually filled in for you, click Enter or something like that, one button, and then it sends you to the report...when you are finished with that, you just click one button, check mark for QA or not, and send it through..SIMPLE and GREAT platform...not difficult at all...
The platform is NOT easy to use, sm
They do bother you and I just was not treated the way I expected to be.  I am happy you are happy with them but it did not work that way for me!!!!
Very easy platform, but I won't say it can't be tweaked a certain way. Don't think anything

Tell us more about why you like it. Benefits? PTO? Easy Platform?

Their platform is easy to learn...
Softscript's work interface is three-fold: a proprietary report client which downloads, uploads, and retrieves ADT; an audio player in the background; and MS Word which automatically opens the report for you--all you do in Word is type and save. I don't see why Instant Text wouldn't work; MS Word itself has a similar auto-replace function as well.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm

The platform is Scribe. EASY to learn and use.
The line count is straight 65 characters with spaces and you can see your count which is important to me.

Today is supposed to be my day off. I needed to do a bunch of errands and catch up and do closets. So far, it's almost 10:30 and I have been on here all morning! I need to scoot!
Anyone know of a company that uses a very easy platform with templates...
and lots of fill in the blanks? I am trying to find part-time work that doesn't require a whole lot of typing because I have pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome. I still have several months of pregnancy left and I still need to work, so my only option is to find work that requires a lot less typing! I am just happy that this CTS is usually only temporary! I do wear wrist splints and take frequent breaks during my shift but this provides little relief. If you know of companies that use easy platforms with templates, fill in the blanks, cut and paste, etc - please let me know! Thanks in Advance!
What kind of platform does Diskriter use? Is it easy
nm
Platform is fairly easy to learn, pay is

low/average, trainers/supervisor are helpful (at least the ones I've dealt with have been), bennies 35+ weeks.


Platform super easy to learn
I had heard horror stories about SoftScript before I accepted the job (realized you can't believe everything and took a chance). I gave them a shot and have been thrilled. The platform is super easy compared to some of the other Nationals I have worked for. Pay is a about 8 cpl, but that seems standard for Nationals. Tons of work.

I would recommend SoftScript to anyone and I have worked for the worst, MQ, Transcend, Medsribe, etc.
You obviously are on an easy account sm
Not everyone is quite that lucky. Some really have to struggle to make their lines due to tough dictators and voice quality issues.
An easy account; I see, you don't

have to put any effort or pride into your work. Typical of those who bite the hand that feeds them. B**ch and complain, moan and groan, oh poor me, I'm taken advantage of, boo hoo. You have to come here and be anonymous to do your complaining. You have probably never had the guts to talk to your account manager or lead about your concerns with the company. Go back to the easy as pie work and stay stagnant, like a moldy pond.


The new multispecialty clinic account
.
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. 
The platform is super easy and user friendly. I have never had sm
any problems getting my lines...plus!
I make that on an easy rad account
NM
Medware has a big clinic account on dictaphone
You might try them.  It had few ESLs.  Not sure if they are hiring or not but it would be worth a try.  Some of it is in speech though but most of it is straight transcription. 
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.
if easy platform and few ESLs, you'll do okay with same doctors daily.
nm
Pay always on time, platform is easy, they've always been nice to me, do have several accounts to
avoid running out of work.  I do MT and QA.
I agree. I am only part time so far, but I love it. The platform is easy, and sm

the people are great.  I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto them.



I was down about the account last week but now love it. It was easy to get used to. The first sm
day was really rough, the second was a just as bad but 2 weeks into it and I really like it. My counts are good too, averaging right around 1400 lines a day, which is good for these old fingers. Docuscribe is great, but I have worked on it before for the big Q.
Agree about Oncology, not easy account . sm
to learn, especially the medications, about half of which are experimental and not on the FDA-approved marked yet - thus, limited lookup and references on them.  I did Oncology FT for 3.5 years at the Q for MD Anderson and was quite a challenging account/specialty that had to be slowly learned.
Unbelievable! So you have an easy account and make a

decent living, yet you come on this board and trash TT all the time! That really is two-faced. You don't deserve to work for TT!


 


it's a clinic account; if I use initials, post will be deleted.
nm
That account has now added clinic and there are 2 other accounts moving to it. Not sure why they
want the experience, except maybe they need to get them started quickly, and that is easier if they know it in advance.

BTW: The account did get easier as they added work types.
Not true - been doing clinic work for 8 years
and while yes, there are things such as px and other things you can make macros for, my docs say a lot of different things based on who the dictation is going to and what the problem is, also personal things pertaining to that patient. I have found OP notes have more of the same things in them than clinic notes and can make you more money.
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.
I love it here; easy platform, plenty of work, great communication
@@@
I agree that it is an easy platform, but compared to other platforms I have used, lines are harder
to get, probably counted or weighted differently.
depends; can make more $ on easy platform/7 than hard platofrm/8-9 cents
nm
I have an easy account and make a decent living.

And while you are at it, TT Management,


BITE ME!!!  You were fools to file this lawsuit.  $294.50 to lose all credibility in the MT World.  Sad, truly sad...


And many thought you were one of the good guys.


Easy platform, assigned accounts, always plenty of work. Great OM and boss. nm

It depends if clinic or acute care, years of experience, can you do
ESLs.   They pay about the same as most companies. 
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
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.
spheris platform
Does anyone work for Spheris and work on something called TA WebClient?
What platform does Spheris use? nm

Spheris platform
I've been with them 8 years, all the time on their TWS platform, which was very manageable. Now I'm on their new platform Cornerstone this past month(which everybody will be sooner or later). I absolutely hate it. Very slow, keystroke lag, too many extra Keystrokes to accomplish what you need to do. I really hate it. Since being on Cornerstone, I've been doing 200-300 lines less per day than on the other platform. It freezes up all the time I think because I am typing faster than it can accommodate me and my ShortHand macros. Never had that problem before. Like I said, I hate it.
