Any e-MTS MTs out there on Cquence platform that does not pay spaces? have question (sm)

How does your lines per hour being paid for ''no spaces'' add up compared to your previous experience being paid ''with spaces?''  How many lines less per hour do you type roughly? I am very leary about not being paid for spaces.  Thanks


Maybe it was just directed to the people on specific accounts or a specific software platform. nm

Cquence pay is 65-character with NO spaces, only black characters which equates to
approximately 1.5 to 2 cents per line less than 65-character with spaces.
Cquence platform

Can anyone tell me if the Cquence platform is easy to work with and get lines relatively easy.  Thanks


 


TT..please be more specific about platform..sm
You say you like the co...please tell me what kind of platform you work on and are you able to increase your line count using the platform easily? Good incentives?
need to clarify...I meant if you are taking a specific "training" class on the platform, navig
then no you are not getting paid...but if you are typing reports then yes...
Cquence

When I worked somewhere else we started using Reflections and it was so much faster and easier to type in.  The system I am using is hard to type in just like the other that is why I wanted a terminal Emulator so that I could use it on my computer with the cable Any suggestions?  Thanks for your reply


Cquence MT
Help me please has anyone every heard of Cquence MT or commonly called CMT .  I am looking for a terminal emulator such as reflections,etc. that is compatible with this program.  Thanks so much, Mamma J.
Do you mean Cquence?
If you do, it is really bad news. Very outdated.
Cquence
Oh no really?? Great, back to the drawing board then. Tell me more about it please??
Cquence
No, Cquence is not easy to work with. Not only is it not user friendly, but you cannot view past reports.

Anyone have Cquence experience?
Any information good or bad would be helpful...

TIA
My third week on Cquence...sm

And at first it was just arrghhh!  But now I've got my routine down pat with it and my production the last few days has been very good.  The line counts are true, in my account I am also getting paid for headers and footers, so I have no complaints.


For me there is ALWAYS a learning curve with a new platform.  And yes, I think some platforms are quicker to handle than others ... I also think everyone's experience may be different, so I would encourage you to keep an open mind.  It is turning out good for me after a few weeks.  You can e-mail me if you have any other questions. 


CMT is part of Lanier's Cquence
on-line program part, as far as I know. There are 2 parts to it, the Next Wave Player and CMT. Cquence is the name of the entire program. What is it you want to do with it? Why an emulator?
All I know is that they use Cquence software. That's why I was wondering how it is to use. nm
s
I used Cquence for a couple years
I thought it was a pain in the rear.
Currently with eMTS, use Cquence and ChartScript.

Cquence is a Lanier system.It was okay but clumsy.
nm
They use several software types, inc. CareFlow and cQuence,
s
MedRite XL, Cquence, and Winscribe are a few I've noted. nm

I think most places pay for spaces. I work for TransTech and they pay for both spaces
as well as punctuation. I would never work for an MTSO that doesn't.
Prior posts said they used CareFlow and Cquence software, both of which get knocked down as
s
65 with spaces versus 65 without spaces; how to calculate?

Can someone tell me if you are getting 9 cents per 65-character line with spaces how much you would need to be paid per line to make the same amount per line if you are offered a ''65-character line without spaces?''  Thank you very much


So, if not spaces paid, what cpl would be comparable to at least 9 cpl w/spaces, do you know??
Thanks.
All compaines count lines different--with spaces, without spaces, headers or no headers, 65 characte
a line, 75 characters, etc. I would ask each of them how they count their lines. Sometimes the way lines are counted does not make a company worth working for.
54 without spaces = 65 with spaces if you do the math nm

Sorry, I should have been more specific. sm

Mostly, just the usual -- are you happy there?  Would you recommend it to your friends?  Pay on time?  Work flow consistent? 



Thanks!


More specific please- MS in NJ or FL? nm
.
Can you be more specific on what you'd like to know? sm
Good benefits (PTO, pd holidays, life, medical, dental insurance); good amount of work available (except this week has been slow on some accounts); they provide equipment (you do pay deposit, returned at time of leaving); direct deposit, always on time pay; easy to use platform (but you need high speed Internet); good training and I LOVE my manager (responsive to emails and phone calls, doesn't micromanage me).

Weak spot would be tech support (depends who you get).
Can you be more specific? nm


Were they at all specific about SM

what they meant when they said typing skills?  That is so vague. 


You need to be more specific, such as ....

Employee status or IC?


Benefits?


Work type?


Set schedule?


 


Okay, but that's not very specific (sm)
I guess I should have asked for all opinions happy and otherwise. If you work for Webmedx, would you mind telling what has been the problem?
Can you be more specific?
Turns out they are not hiring for a month or two anyway!
Sorry, I should have been more specific.sm
MDI MTs will be getting a call in October/November and will find out then what the offer is.
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
Yes, they do. Maybe your specific experience
does not match up with the positions they have available right now?


Can you be more specific? This doesn't help at all. nm

I don't know about these specific companies
Ablescribe in the mid-TN region and they are hiring. Pretty simple work, a nursing home same 4 or 5 docs and a lot of the same patients daily too. My sis works there and loves it.

I am from TN too!

ablescribe.com, I believe.
could you be more specific on what you love so much about it?
nm
Ask about specific companies. (NM)
Goldbird

Could the replies be more specific
I am considering them also and would like more substantial information than vague statements.  That is no help at all.  Please if anybody has any experience with them or works for them, please I would also like to know how they are.
Could you be a little more specific? Your post
completely... too many metaphors. Not a lot has happened at my end, but who's to say other people have heard other things. What finally prompted you to jump ship, other than the obvious India-based thing?
This is when you turn over specific
examples to your supervisor and get some answers. I would keep a record of every inconsistency and send them in.
Cannot name specific accounts.

specific answers ..
hi ..

1. Does the ShortHand Expander work on DocQScribe?

not sure .. pretty sure it does.

2. How easy is the platform to learn?

very ... just use keyboard commands instead of mouse

3. How easy is the platform to navigate around when you are in a report -- and are there a lot of steps to saving, sending, etc?

I find it easy and there are not a lot of steps ..

4. Can you look up prior patient reports?

no

5. Can you make your own templates?

You have to put them in the expander and it depends on company policy; they do not want cut and paste as it can affect formatting on client end

6. How is the spellchecker?

okay

7. Can a fast typist make good line counts?

yes .. friend does over 300

8. Is the line count mechanism accurate?

mine has been when I checked it

From my experience, it is a great system.

I too lost production but I started using it but that has been true for me with any windows-based program I have worked on ..
give me back my DOS and WP .. .that is when I used to make good money .. LOL

good luck to you .. you will be fine

PS - However, The speech recognition of MQ (ASR) is terrible unless you have really great dictators.

you dont need your specific

numbers to do your FAFSA.  There's a question on the renewal that asks if you've filed your taxes yet, you just say no.


I've not gotten my W2 from TT, and I don't see ANY excuse for that.


specific company name?
nm
Then, obviously, be more specific in your posts
When you post something as vague as your post, you should realize you're leaving far too much open to question. And if you'll read my post, you'll see I tried to clarify in which direction you were attempting to with your ambiguity.

Before you get your feathers ruffled, re-read what you're posting to make sure it conveys the message you are trying to get across.

Glad you weren't sniping at her, though.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL

On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly -  its a nightmare to work in.
