Your system sounds very slow, then
When our VR first instituted, took about a total of I'd say 2 weeks before the reports started coming through on VR and very surprised, because very good reports. As far as I know, never tested first 1 dictator or the other to see if they would be able to be heard, everyone is on, the worst ESLs, the fastest slurry dictators, all of them.
Their system is incredibly slow based on
where your ISP routes servers. They have overhired big time and in the last 90 days had only 1 week where I actually got in all my hours, even working off days and different shifts. Plus that clocking in and out is a pain and you work 10 hours just to get 8. They dangle the incentives in front of you but with their lack of work and slow system you have to work like heck to get the 150 lph minimum.
I haven't had a problem, except system slow.

System very slow. Don't expect them to care
nm
I'm metting line reqs, but system is very slow..
at least on the overflow account that I'm working. I'm moving slowly because I'm dealing with new dictators, new account specs to learn, and a very slow system. In addition, I've been kicked out of the system four times today! Very frustrating, but I'm also having issues with comcast, so that may be part of the problem.
Lots of people using an ExText system can really

fine people to work for...problematic system..sm
I can tell you that these people are a nice group and pay is reliable ..don't know much about benefits..didn't stay long enough..but they did in fact pay me their hire-on bonus even after I quit them in less than a month's time. They still use Word Perfect DOS program and drown you in paper work ..way too complicated way of working in this day in time but they supposedly are in the process of upgrading their system (???) Again, I must say the people are great...just could not deal with the unnecessary stress involved in their system.
Slow, as in a lot of people on nm
nm
I agree. Have people not learned its always slow after a holiday?!

Not for people on my team. Slow work for months. nm
:(
You have to use their puter, do 1200 lpd at a low rate, and they're slow and nasty getting people

System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
Not Thrilled
I think we are going to be working for a big brother company. Why do we have to put our escription lines in a completely different tracking system? Makes no sense to me and a waste of my time, especially when I have 3+ account every day.
Old timers are thrilled to be promoted too sm
and especially thrilled when they get offered more for their experience coming in than sombody training for goodness sakes. I just can't get behind that rationale.
Congrats. I'm sure they were thrilled to see your resume come their way!! nm
zzzz
Having not had any in 12 yrs, I am thrilled by it all. Having the Blues is great sm
I was so very surprised. When I had it that I paid on my own, I had about like the lower tier and I paid $200 a month for it and had a pricier med copay.
I said 12 years and it more like 15. Imagine my delight to find the same or lower copays than all those years ago and find a cheaper premium too! I am so glad to have it. The other was not available in my area and this IS.
Not thrilled about the new 40-hour week but SM
am still positive. An issue is how much of the current slowdown is actually due to the crash in the economy (on top of the holiday season), a change no company could have planned for.
Also, something I find encouraging is that WedMedx has a vowed goal of developing and providing its clients with very high-quality MTs, excuse me, MCSs (medical content specialists). If that continues, it means doing what it takes to hold onto them since these are people who can always normally find another job.
To the MT who was *talking* w/ me a few weeks ago re MDI-MD who said Dorothy would be thrilled ...SM
to hear from me.....well, I finally decided to email them about a position. It's sure been long enough, hasn't it? lol I appreciate your encouragement and your help. We'll just have to wait and see if they have a part-time slot for me. I wasn't sure if I ever expressed my appreciation to you then, and I sure hope you see this now and recognize yourself in my subject line. Thanks again!!
Should mention that my VR is 7 cpl - 2 cents below my regular pain...I would be thrilled with 500lph
Keep up the great work!!!!
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.
Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
MDI's new system.. Can anyone tell me
if they like it, love it, hate it? I HATE IT! It has cut my lines in half and I'm ready to throw in the towel. It's a second job for me and I only do it part time. I love the account I'm on and everything but their new system stinks. I didn't mind AIM but their new system can join my hated docs on the long cruise to nowhere that I wish they take every time I get them..
Is it the AIM system still? nm
s
new MDI system
Hi, I have been working on the new system, yes there are some issues with quality - I have been putting my headset in the back of my computer and the sound is much better. I love the new system though, it just needs some time
OLD SYSTEM
Except for a couple of accounts, they are still using the OLD DOS program.
I mean system - DUH! nm
nm
I was 300-350+ at Q, can't get above 270 at Wx. It's their system. nm

Don’t know what VR system you use
but this is why I said, it has to be trained correctly. If you have scads on and 1 does something 1 way, the next another way, the third some other way, that is where the problem comes in. By the end of the day my total was $153 so that was ok for me and it is so much easier than straight.
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
System was down for a while. It is frustrating.
I know they are working on it. Overall, I like this system better than most.
No structure/system at MDI-MD...sm
I feel like they have too many MTs typing amuck anywhere and everywhere whenever they want 24/7 causing everyone to have to work 24 hours a day to get their lines in. I have been chained to this computer for over 5 months now.
If you do not already have an abbreviation system
you will not succeed. I don't mean to say this in a mean spirited way. I'm saying it after working for several companies where I needed ShortHand and had to build it from scratch. It is counterproductive to learn new accounts, a new platform, and a new abbreviation system all at the same time. It takes literally weeks of refining the entries that would allow greater productivity...weeks that you won't have time to invest when you are expected to be up at full production by your third paycheck. Consider everything.
I should have specified that Allscripts is EMR system.

Oh and learn this new system..
 Be an IC at 7 cpl, and do your assigned work and be our slave! What a joke...
Not sure, but I think it's a call-in system...
and probably most of the docs are using phones in the hospital. Just the other day I had a doc call from home and dictate from his kitchen. Sounded like he was washing dishes, and he stopped often to talk to his small children. There was a dog barking, and I could hear him let the dog out as he was dictating.
Now and then, some of the docs dictate on speaker settings because they want their hands free to type into computers for patient records, or to go through papers.
I've had this sort of thing on every account I've ever done at every company.
Whenever it's really bad, I send an email to support and/or my account supervisor. I always get good response from them. No one can check a dictation station or tell a dictator to get off his cell phone if we don't let the office know that there's a problem. :)
Was the system ExText?
They told me I would be working on ExText. Is this the platform you used? And thank you for your response! I really appreciate it.
What kind of a system is it?
nm
Don't know what kind of system they
are using, but they just put in a new VPN server to handle it. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do at home to help staying connected, or if other people had experienced this while running Extext.
Ahh their GREAT system!!!!
and clocking in and out
It IS the system. I got an e-mail from my STM
this week stating so.
Transolution DOS system
Would anyone be willing to email me about Transolutions DOS system? It is hard to make any money on this platform? It seems there have been negative posts regarding this but I would like to apply. It is so hard to make a decision about company with so little info to go on - it would be nice to get a heads up both good and bad..... Thanks....
See message above regarding system.
Unless you work for Webmedx, you really should not comment about the system.
And if that system is Meditech, well let's just say
platform is at MQ. A hospital system could care less if the MT is happy. They are focused more on how wide of a range they can reach for each department and make it friendly for the ones who seek the information. Meditech is horrible.
Just be careful hopping from a huge conglomerate to a company that claims growth, but then overhire. JMO.
Obviously so TT's system of being nice
has backfired. With no checks in place quality goes down the drain. That is true for any industry. Transtech is nice and all but one of the reasons I'm not there today is the quality of the work is sorely lacking. Somebody else said they fear a lawsuit, well I wouldn't be surprised either.
The more the system tries to eliminate MTs I think the more they (sm)
the more the system finds they really need the human touch in order to have a document worth the money for doctors to walk into court with.
However, I will say this. As we go into this depression -- and trust me we are there -- businesses have learned they don't have to CARE. They don't have to care about the health or well being of their employees -- and they are showing them the door rather than being decent about a work place.
So, they may find they need us humans in the chain of medicine - I think the courts will more and more not see law suits because nobody can afford to bring the charges. We will all be out here just struggling to keep body and soul together. Sad what has happened.
probably less than 200 jobs in the system now..sm
Divide that by 100+ MTs currently working for them and the outcome isn't good.
You just had questions so they took your name out of the system?
x
You are connected to their system and they can
monitor everything that goes on on the computer, though I really think they have better things to do.
