Att new Keystrokers
Is it as good there as everyone posting on this board says it is. Just checkin to see if everything is going well. Info much appreciated:)
For all you Keystrokers out there
They have an add for Oncology MTs. Anyone familiar with this and know what platform? Are their platforms Word?  Thanks in advance.
Keystrokers

Would someone who works for KS on the new occ. health account(s), please tell me what platform will be used for the new occ. health accounts, and how difficult this dictation is.  I have never done this type of dictation before.


Also, anyone who is working the new hem/onc account, please let me know either via e-mail or post here how you like this account and platform.


Thanks for your help.


For the Keystrokers

exactly?  You dial in the number to the hospital and the report then comes up?  How is it really working with Meditech?  It must not be so bad that it can't be mastered eventually, everybody gets good line counts fairly easy with it.


THANKS!


Would any Rad Keystrokers explain
how they jump from screen to screen, keep their log and still maintain a high productivity level? I am boggled about this. Any information greatly appreciated.
Any Keystrokers using Meditech Client
I read some posts below that stated some were getting 15 while othere were getting 25 reports an hour. Can anyone specifically tell me what they get an hour using Meditech Client? TIA.
Keystrokers - question on getting started

How long did it take you from hire to actually working?  I was offered a position week before last and there's been a couple of snags with the paperwork along the way, but now that's all done and I'm starting to get a little frustrated with the delay.  Everyone there is really nice, though, when I do talk to them, so I really want this to work out.  But I got bills, and was really hoping to get work before the 15th so I could get a little money on the 1st, you know?


Thanks in advance. 


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.
RAD Keystrokers, as of today, is there enough work every day?

Keystrokers do you find it difficult to make lines? Almost

a year ago I was offered a position with KS.  There were lots of rumors going around about my company so I started looking, but I fell for the lies my MTSO told and stayed put.  The rumors became fact and I had to find another job.  I just cannot make decent lines with new company.   I went from gross line to 65 characters, which by itself can make 100+ lines a day difference.  The platform is boggy and I prefer to do Ops only, but doing everything but due to my scheduled work time and the tight TAT of Ops and I'm just not happy.


I  was hired for an acute care account doing Ops at KS, but I can't remember any of the other details (other than of course pay).   I'm thinking about calling them to see what they may have to offer (they said call if I changed my mind), but don't want to have to start all over again only to find myself in the same situation I'm currently in with no able to make lines.


Also, what kind of Expander can you use.   New job uses SH and I really don't like it. 


 


 


Keystrokers - do you work in Word - Can you use ShortHand - How many lines for fulltime? Thanks

Oncology
Intellitype was looking specifically for oncology about a week or so ago.

Oncology

Yes, I know they were looking but I am leery of pursuing a job with a company I know nothing about.  I have posted queries on both MT Stars and MTDaily about this company and have received no replies.  I might just go ahead and take their test then see what comes of it though.  Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention!  Much appreciated.


 



Who is looking for oncology MTs? I have...sm
 20 years experience (teaching hosp), plus ortho and cardiology, and multispecialty clinic.  No OB/GYN, tho.  Anyone?  TIA.
I will be doing oncology.....sm
but I know they were looking for Ortho MTs also.
ONCOLOGY
I was to be training on a new oncology account this week but I have decided to quit KS.
KS Oncology
I do know when KS did the mass hiring about a month ago for a new Oncology acct, I was hired. It was Allscripts platform and was a realllll dream, but the reports were so incredibly brief (4-6 lines)that there was no way I could make my line count unless I was glued to my chair and the voice file was not the greatest either. Needless to say, I stayed with my current company.

I did ask for a backup account and it was the same way as well, few lines per report.

I love Oncology and have been doing it for many years, but I am used to doing clinic consults, full office notes, etc.
4.5 and 5.5 for oncology i believe.
xx
I am an MT for Oncology and there
is no way I would type it for that amount of money.  It is not an easy speciality.  You get what you pay for.
If it's the same oncology account that I believe was in
Chicago or thereabouts, run very quickly. They had a very hard time staffing that account and went so far as to take all the other accounts away from some MTs just so they would have to work on the oncology account. That's why I left. I was with them for a year and found them to be very MT unfriendly, although they say they have changed. But beware, Jan Clay (the recruiter) worked for many years at EDiX which is now Spheris, so that should tell you something.
Looking for oncology work.....sm
Looking for a part-time IC position that consists mainly of hematology/oncology work. No national companies please.  If you have any leads, please leave your email and I will send a resume.  Thanks!
Anybody know who has an oncology account ? sm

Need part-time flexible hours and a decent line rate - prefer to work over the net.  I haven't been between jobs in a couple years now and here I am coming up short and before Christmas no less.  I have 10 years experience.  Any suggestions?  It doesn't sound like there is a single decent company listed on these boards that anybody truly likes to work for.


Oncology Transcription
Seeking oncology transcription position.  15 years experience in medical and radiation oncology. 
For oncology or for any account?
nm
Intellitype for Oncology
You would have to be an IC but they are extremely flexible and I know are looking for help on this account.  It is for Oncology.  The company is great to work for and great people to deal with.
Oncology Account
It uses Word-based AllScripts platform -- very easy to use.  My favorite platform!  You need Windows XP -- not Vista and a wav pedal.  They start people between 8 and 9 cpl based on experience.
There are 3 oncology accounts, 2 are new. sm
The older one and one new one use Allscripts, which is web based and easy. The new one is a total outsource with a large group (30) of oncologists.

The other new one is done in Meditech, has 15 oncologists and is Mon-Fri only.


It is an oncology clinic. Cannot say the name. The other two are
hospitals.
Medical oncology
Landmark has an excellent medical oncology account. I know someone who works on it. You need at least five years of experience in oncology, I think, to interview.
Landmark/Oncology
Would you please clarify if this is the Landmark in Philadelphia or California. I did a search for Landmark on the board and there are many comments but I'm confused as to which Landmark you are referring to and if it's a currently stable and thriving company. Many comments on the board talk about a Landmark that lost many accounts recently.

Would appreciate anything else you can tell me about the Landmark with the oncology account.
I have typed oncology only.....
for at least 10 years.  Of course, in my opinion, it is easier to do this because when doing clinic work you have less doctors, less work types and such as that.  For me, the pay is the same as any other MT.  I love typing oncology though and would hate to have to go back to acute care.
Proscript oncology
I think these may be new accounts. In six years, I have never had VR with Proscript
Transtech ad/oncology
Is the workload at TT better now since I see they have an ad up for oncology...would like to hear if there is enough work on this account(s) to apply.  Thanks
Looking for a company hiring for oncology. Anyone? nm

GIMT and Keystrokes have oncology

Try Transtech, they are hiring for oncology. NM
no message.
TransTech Oncology account

Plenty of work.  Don't know about the other questions.


TransTech Oncology Account

Anyone out there work on the TT oncology account?  I have been working on this new account and would like to hear from other transcriptionists regarding  what they think of this account, software, able to get line counts, etc.


TIA


Any TransTech oncology transcriptionists

I started working at TT almost 2 months ago and was told they were inundated with work, but after working for about 2-3 weeks, the work has steadily dwindled.  I am scheduled to work the weekend but there is never enough work to get my hours on Sunday.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Also it seems to me that I don't get the line count there like I have with my other jobs.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  Would like to hear what you think of the account and the company.  Thanks for any info.


 


 


Looking for oncology work - please email me. NM

Don't know for sure but it is HUGE - so they must have an oncology dept.

Keystrokes oncology accounts

Has anyone started on the 2 new oncology accounts for Keystrokes?  If so, how are they?  Do you like the platform?  Are you able to get good lines?


TIA


Landmark oncology account
Anyone out there work for Landmark on the oncology account?  If so, how do you like this account?  Are you able to get your line count?  How is the company to work for?  Pay on time?  Thanks.
TransTech oncology ASR account

Looking for input from transcriptionists who work for TT on the big oncology ASR account.  Would you please share how this account is insofar as getting your required line count.  I have been working in hem/onc for over 7 years and having trouble finding regular transcription work in this field so I am thinking of going to ASR.  Are you able to make enough money to live doing this account?  Is it difficult to learn the Escription platform?


One more thing...does TT hire any PT (30 hours per week) workers or not?  Flex schedule at all?


Thanks for your input.


Proscript -- Oncology VR account
Would like to hear from someone who works on Proscript's recently advertised oncology account doing VR transcription.  Is there enough work, a lot of ESL dictators, pros and cons please.  Thank you.
MT companies, with oncology specialist openings!

Hello,


I am highly interested in the MT companies who have current openings in oncology as the speciality of choice!  I have 5 years' experience as an MT.  I am now doing orthopedics, which is good, but I really love doing oncology, for personal reasons.  I am looking for pay per line either equal to OR above my pay that I receive now.  I have worked for a little over one year for the company I work for now, and I received an actual raise for all of my hard, but enjoyed, work.  Also, I should mention that I have NEVER worked for any companies, in my life, that do not give raises every year.  As long as the work warrants it, and everything else keeps going up in price, i.e. GAS prices, and etc, I think that it should be given to us hard-working MTs!!  After all, this is a REAL job, and not just a job that is taken lightly by some of us, who actually NEED to make a living off of this type of work, and also enjoy doing it!


So, if your company has what I would like to have in an employer, contact me, and we will talk seriously about it.  I would just love to hear from you!


I currently work for GIMT oncology account
and love it.  Platform is word based.  Owner is a great lady, very flexible with schedule.  The onc account that I have has excellent dictators.  Very nice QA people, very consistent.
Anyone work on the oncology account at Transtech?
Saw ad and curious what the account and the company was like.  Thanks. 
Question to any Transtech MTs on the oncology account...
I was wondering if the oncology account out of Texas was staying in work of if it was in a slump.  I used to work on it and was looking at going back, if they are needing help, but was not sure if it was keeping work or not.  I sure do miss it.  You can email me privately.  Thanks. 
I was told the oncology positions were filled already. nm
