Shorthand works for Radnet. I love Radnet BTW! nm

I hear Radnet won't work with Word autoentries and stuff.
And I never worked out of Word before, so what are good and cheap word Expanders - will any import my Word shortcuts and expanders?
RE: I hear Radnet won't work with Word autoentries and stuff.
I currently use RadNet at my in-house job, and it has its own shortcut Expander pre-programmed. You create the expansion and use F9 to launch the expansion.
I work for a hospital that has Cerner Classic Radnet and a service that sm
uses Cerner Millenium Radnet. The two are completely different. The Classic version does EXACTLY what you described with ShortHand but they found a solution at the hospital. I will look at it on Wednesday when I go to work. I'm embarassed to say that I have used it for so long that I don't pay attention anymore and can't remember the name of the program.


I just work with ShortHand minimized. Smarttype doesn't work the same way? nm

I used Shorthand in CS.net - it should work

How did you get Shorthand to work with Medrite?
nm
Shorthand will work with Cerner, but... SM

your hospital IT department will probably tell you it won't work and you will probably also be told you cannot load personal software on hospital-owned equipment.  There is a way around this, however.  If you have a jump/flash drive you can download the SH program for their website when asked where to save the download file, choose your jump drive (it is drive F: on my PC, maybe different on yours). 


Once the file is downloaded, open up your jump drive and double click on the install icon.  When you get to the step of the installation that asks where you want to install the program (usually defaults to C:programs) change that to your jump drive.  Then install the program.  Now, the program is installed on your jump drive.  You can take your jump drive and plug it in to any PC, open up your drive, double click on the SH icon to run the program, and the SH program will run in the background on whatever PC you are using (you will see the SH icon in your right lower corner with your clock).  It is not installed on the PC, so you are not breaking any "rules" that the hospital may have.  Once you are done for the day, double click the SH icon and shut down the program and unplug your dive.  No one will ever know.  It'll be your little secret.


I did this for years.  I worked on Cerner RadNet and got the same run around about Expander programs.  I just did it myself and nobody ever knew.


Good Luck!


Does Shorthand work with Chartnet?

Does ShortHand for windows work with plantform Charnet?  Thanks.


Shorthand does not work well with Emdat.

Need to find an Expander that will expand properly in any platform being that the right working situation for me is so hard to find.


Any suggestions?


TIA


I work for transcend and use shorthand. nm

Tryign to use ShortHand with Bayscribe and cannot get it to work - has anyone done this and how did

Does Shorthand work with Medical Spellcheckers?

Just getting to know the Expander program "Shorthand", and saw that it says to shut off all spell-checkers.  Does that mean that I cannot run Spellex or another Medical Spell Check program with it?  Has anyone any suggestions as to what they use?   Or any "work-arounds" 


I am just getting started and trying to decide if I like "As-U-Type" or "Shorthand" better as my word expander.  It seems that "Shorthand" does not act like a spell-checker like "As-u-Type" does, so need to add one.....preferrably a medical one.


 


PC Shorthand...Does it work in Emdat and Chartscript??
If so how do I go about setting up to work?
Yes, it is called ESP. Instant Text and Shorthand work
x
Shorthand 10 and Instant Text V both work on Vista sm
Don't know what you consider "not too much money," but this is a piece of your arsenal you don't want to skimp on. You should get the absolute best you can afford -- if you put the time and energy into making the software work for you, it will for itself in no time.
Does PC ShortHand work on Emdat or Word Client?
And if so how do I get it to work when using these platforms?
How do you get the shorthand word expander to work in 'word client'?
nt
I totally agree, the company I work for is switching from IT to Shorthand :( yuck!

SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.
.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and

;yo = -year-old


;py= -pack-year


etc...


Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
Anyone use RadNet?

EZ platform? Type in Word? TIA


Radnet/IDX
Very easy platform, you do type in word and can get hourly or daily accurate line counts
radnet
Anyone familiar with this platform for x-rays?? 
radnet
I don't have any idea; this company pays per line. I have to do a little more investigating of it.
radnet
There is a company out of Michigan called mwp services looking for a radiology Transcriptionist and they use radnet. Good luck!
radnet
email me please for information

What can you tell me about radnet? Why do you like it?
SH and RadNet
I hear conflicting reports on this.  Does ShortHand 8 or 9 work with RadNet?  I am on a Cerner (which is some kind of RadNet program) account now and it has been a real headache:(  SH freezes the program.   Try taking away SH after years of using and straight typing.  Not FUN!  It is like we are going backwards.  I find myself going back and correcting my typing because I have typed in my shorthand letters.  I am so used to it.  Any ideas?
RadNet
I use RadNet and SH version 8.70b with it and Cerner, no problem, no freezing up.
RadNet

Would someone who works in RadNet please let me know how production-friendly it is?


Radnet
Personally, I'm not nuts about it, I have worked on better, but I am also told the version I am working on is an old one, so that could be the problem. I am hoping they update it as I like the job.
I really like radnet
..
RadNet
Don't like transcribing in RadNet, but do like using it if I can type in Word then cut and paste. Much, much better that way. Shortcuts are harder to use in RadNet, at least with the setup I'm using, and keyboard/screen time is seldom in sinc.
RadNet
Is there a way to add words to your dictionary in radnet?  There is an option for it on the screen but it will not allow you to access anything. Thanks.
RadNet
I use RadNet and in the tool bar there is a question mark for wood processing templates tool, which is a ? on my tool bar, and you click on that and you can enter a word, phrase, sentence. I would ask your team lead/coordinator for directions on how to use this function. It does work as I have word Expanders in mine.
RadNet

For all RadNet users!!!  I hope this can help anyone with any questions...  I am a sub-contractor (1099) for a radiology account for a major hospital in Michigan.  We recently switched over to RadNet, and believe me, I was afraid...  I went 6 weeks without a paycheck during the change-over due to problems and bugs in the system, and about 4 of those weeks was simply getting the correct security level just so I could work!  And to make matters worse, I have dial-up (Ahh, the country...Well water and dial-up!!), so needless to say I was skeptical.  However, in working this weekend, I have found that RadNet does work with dial-up (although there is a very slight delay in typing and a longer delay when using your mouse).  It also DOES work with windows FLASH word Expander (Yes, I have said my shares of Hallelujahs/thank the Lord!!).  So anybody looking for short-cuts in RadNet, my advice would be to download any free trials of word Expanders (I used a free trial of FLASH) and see what you like best.  Hope this helps some of ya'll!!  Annie


radnet - sm
I only worked for KS on RadNet for a short while but worked for another company and used it. I absolutely love Radnet - it is so easy to use - it is a word-based program and you should be up and producing in no time.
RADNET
Can anyone tell me places that use RadNet as their platform.
RadNet
Keystrokes for sure uses RadNet for some radiology accounts, not all.
RadNet
I think lots of hospitals do. We used Cerner for medical reports and RadNets for radiology.
radnet
It is horrible especially if you are getting paid by the report. It is so slow and slows you way down!!!!
Radnet - Does anyone know how

to change the size and color of the screen in Radnet?  Changing the settings in Word doesn't work for the RadNet screen.  Please help.


I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for
i did use shorthand once in a job but i was so nervous the "boss" took pity and dictated the report on dictaphone.
RadNet - Good or bad?
Easy to learn, operate, etc?
Any opinions on Radnet? nm

Cut and paste in Radnet
That is exactly what I did. I used a macro program (Macro Express) to make the "Page Up" key highlight and cut the text from Word and the "Page Down" key paste it into RadNet. I couldn't see any other way of doing it, since I hate typing online with the delayed keystrokes, etc. I used Dragon Naturally Speaking until we upgraded to XP, then it wouldn't work anymore without upgrading, but Word/AutoCorrect saved the day.
I have one radnet account

Pain in the buttocks, because RadNet is full of glitches, and so is Webmedx's software, and they don't always get along.  Combine them, have something go wrong, and you are stuck in the middle, because Wmx techs blames radnet, and the client blames our software, and since nobody will "own" the problem, nobody will fix it.  I'd say 50% of what I send to QA on that account is due to Radnet refusing to save a report, so it has to be stashed elsewhere until Radnet is in the mood to accept it.


Radnet F9 shortcuts

Does anyone know how to add to the shortcuts in RadNet F9. 


Not true at all. I have been on a RadNet account for sm
four years. The hospital has no intentions of going to voice recognition as they tried it several years ago (too soon) and were very unhappy with the results. They also will not send work offshore because of several reasons.

PACS is not geared towards offshore. It is a method in which an area of a film can be enlarged, turned, etc. resulting in better reading.

It also allows films to be seen at hospitals within the same healthcare system, which results in better patient care. It also saves on costs related to films, developing, storing, etc.

Radnet is very, very, very easy to learn and use. It is VERY transcription friendly.
