Also use Meditech, but you need a Cphone (she'll lend it) and pay for a 2nd line. nm

    Any RAD MT at MDI-MD using Meditech and Cphone?
    I use a c-phone on current hospital account - no problems with it and make good money using it.  I have never used Meditech platform and would love to hear from any MDI-MD rad MT who has used this combination (Meditech with Cphone)  on the pros and cons.  They offered me a good per report rate so I am considering employment. Thanks.

    Meditech line count

    Would appreciate anyone out there letting me know if they get a good line count with Meditech. Have never used this before but last platform I was on seemed not to be counting correctly. Thanks


    Meditech Line Count
    What would you interpret this to mean?  Meditech lines are equal to the Dictaphone system.  Is this a good thing or not?  Thanks.
    They got back to me right away, but I don't have a second line and don't want one. They'll

    the pay is 10 cents a line and 11 on weekends, more than you'll at most other places

    When a company tells you you'll tripple your line count
    x
    You'll work as an employee, not IC. Need your own C-phone and pay for your own long distance line
    s
    If your hired FT and you fail to meet line counts, you'll lose your benefits including any PTO
    that you have acrued. So, it's best to stick to what you signed up for or you'll get moved to PT status and have no benefits.
    There are two types of Meditech. One is Meditech Magic, which has a blue sm
    screen and is like WP5.1. It is a bit cumbersome but not bad once you get used to it.

    The other is Meditech Client, which is WONDERFUL. It opens into Word and populates the demographics for you.

    Neither are bad once you get used to them. I make great money using Magic and a lot of others complain about it.
    cphone

    I don't want to sound ignorant, but what exactly is a c-phone? how does it work?


    Thank you for your kind help.


    Pay is said to be low, 800 lpd is PT, as of Jan. 07 they were still Cphone only

    what is a Cphone?
    anyone care to explain?  Thank you for your help!
    Do you need your own Cphone and own LD, not reimbursed? nm

    Not a Cphone - a Lanier!

    CPHONE AND EXERCISE
    Never Mind, I turned the connection upside down and it worked. Thanks, All Have a Great Saturday.  I just got out of the hospital for five days HIGH BP STROKE, MIGRAINE, DUE TO YOU GUESSED IT- TYPING ALL THE TIME, AND NO EXERCISE. Did 30 minutes of power walking already. Not ready to go to the grave yet. I challenge everyone to do at least 30 minutes of some form of exercise a day.
    Cphone is Dictaphone
    C phone is actually a Dictaphone. Looks like a telephone and you dial into the hospital clinic for dictation. Has a foot pedal and headset. Technology has been around forever and is still used by a lot of places. You can find them on ebay for about $100-200.
    Cphone is fine
    Actually Cphone works fine for me. No waiting for files to pull up and sound quality depends on where you live and type of phone service. I've used it for years and years and have no problems with it. 
    they supply the cphone, but...sm
    the accounts they have with C-phones are really AWFUL!
    If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
    recent info.  Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT.  Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially. 
    You need your own Cphone and LD plan for Execuscribe. Don't know anything else. nm

    If you'll read more carefully you'll see
    I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
    A line is a line is a line. Doesn't matter if we are talking about radiology or acute care.

    1600 is not a fair minimum requirement.  Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.


    Means a line is a line is a line, even if it only has one word on the line
    it is considered a line. 
    "a line is a line" means gross line.
    Gross line is a line, no matter how long or short.
    Meditech
    Will anyone having typed on Meditech system please tell me what it's like?  Is it user friendly?  Thank you very much.
    Meditech
    Meditech is okay once you are used to it AND if you can use Instant Text rather than those clumsy combinatio keys to do your macros. I think it has improved since I used it about 6 years ago. It is a BIG change from WP or MSWord, sort of like taking a giant step backwards.
    meditech
    I thank you for all of your comments. I do use Instant Text so would definitely want to be able to use that with Meditech system.  But it actually doesn't sound like something I'd really like doing, from what I've read.  More negatives than positives so far.
