ZyloMed uses Emdat. They were hiring not long ago for Radiation Oncology accounts. Check MTjobs.com to see if they still have their ad on there.  Feel free to email me if you need to know anything else. 
Is that Emdat InScribe? How do you feel about

I was thinking of going with a company that uses InScribe, and I've gone through a mess with Emdat's techs getting my autocorrect expansions transferred over (since the import utility didn't work for me, and it would be a make or break for me if I would have to re-enter all my expansions), but that is finally done, actually. 


However, I'm still not sure if I think I would like working in InScribe.  It seems fairly user-friendly, but just in terms of the look of it, not sure how much I could stand it, you know?


Can anyone tell me companies that use Emdat Inscribe?
I would like to apply to those companies as I am very familiar with this software and love it, but I need a new job!  Thanks!
I have a note from 2005 saying Emdat software, low pay, &

Word Autocorrect to Emdat InScribe
You can use a tool that Emdat has written to convert your Word Autocorrect to InScribe. It can be downloaded from http://www.emdat.com/software, under Support. Also, feel free to call the helpdesk with such questions as well at 630-743-0500.
Lee Perfect/Inscribe Emdat system

I was recently hired by Lee Perfect Transcription who utilizes the Inscribe Emdat platform.  I am having a very difficult time trying to get used to working the foot pedal.  When I am transcribing and I lift my foot off the pedal the dictation does not stop, just keeps going.  I have to almost stomp on it to get it to stop.  Is this just my foot pedal, or is there another way to get it to stop just when you lift your foot up and it automatically stops like on other platforms.  I sure would appreciate any help regarding this.  Thanks so much.


The account I work on is on Emdat Inscribe
good company.
Phoenix Medcom/Emdat Inscribe
Would like to hear from current or past transcriptionists who have worked using the Emdat Inscribe platform.  Is it really as bad as everyone says it is?  If so, exactly what makes it that way?  Hard to learn, unable to get good production...would like to hear your experience and how long it took you to produce good line counts.  Thank you so much for your help.
What companies work with Bayscribe, Emdat and Inscribe?
Also MedRemote?  I have worked with all of these platforms and they are very nice, just wondering who uses these.  TIA!
Hired by Emdat or using Emdat software?
I was of the impression that Emdat was software, not a transcription company. Were you hired by Emdat to do transcription for Emdat customers? Or is the company for whom you work just using the Emdat software? Thank you.
Just a note here!

A couple of things here...


First of all, I want to thank all who responded to my post about MQ and OSi slamming and stuff like that.  It was interesting to say the least and very informative and I appreciate it.  Although it is sad to see so much bashing and slamming going on here, and quite frankly, I have even seen some very mean posts.  Moderator, thank you for not deleting that post!  And please don't delete  this one either!  Thanks.


Secondly, I noticed a response from RadGuy in that thread that it's good to see another guy on the board!  Yeah, it kinda is.  You see, when I went to college to learn this particular trade, I had no idea it was predominantly a female profession, little did I know!  And eventually, I came across a lady who was looking for someone with five years of experience to do a pathology account for her.  I had NO experience back in 1990.  But she took me on and trained me anyway, and now I LOVE pathology.  Wouldn't trade it for the world. 


Anyways, my point is, you have a RadGuy, now you got a PathGuy!!!!!  yayyyy!!!!


And that is one of the reasons I kept coming to this board was to see if any companies would hire for at-home pathology work.  Much to my dismay, no dice.  I have been offered to test for a job to do veterinary pathology from home though!!   Wow, never thought I would be doing pathology reports on patients named fluffy or spot...LOL!!  But in any case, I would really love to learn radiology in the meantime, so RadGuy (or anyone else for that matter), if you have any information on how to go about that, I would be quite grateful.  What I would like to know is where to get radiology tapes, sample dictation, etc. etc., it would be a great help.


Take care all.........


eternally in PATHOLOGY.......PathGuy!!


Just a note on this.. You do not have to be on IM
for them to see you are working. They can tell that from the server where your work downloads from.

As far as Timmy, I can take it or leave it. However, I can tell you that some of the MTs that get the extras because they were caught working probably don't mind it a bit. :)
be sure to note though
if you use the copy/paste function at the left of your text screen, it will also copy the previous patient's name and ADT into your new report, screwing everything up!!
just a note
Not sure what you mean by EMR (electronic medical record). If what you mean is you are wondering if some of the work is moving to voice recognition, then no, there is no VR at MDI and they have no interest in starting it.

A note
To Dawn: Since you have posted here and posted your name, I have a suggestion for you. Please proof your emails and IMs prior to sending them out. It looks bad when the person in charge of QA misspells and misuses words in emails and IMs sent to QA and MTs. There is a difference between -your- and -you're-. You should say -you're welcome- NOT -your welcome-. There are many others, but I will spare you as I'm sure you get the point.

I am also glad that the QA line rate was changed to .03 cpl as opposed to $1.35 per report which was a complete rip off. There would be discharge summaries greater than 10 minutes long and greater than 200 lines for which QA was only being paid $1.35 for a report that you may have spent 30 minutes on.


please also note....

When you pay 2 employees at 6 cpl that produce 100 lph of junk (based on inexperience), and then have to pay QA whatever amount to fix that, you are actually costing your company more $$$$$$.


Why not pay 1 skilled MT/ME 11 cpl to produce 250 lph (and up) of quality work and hire less QA.  Then, the QA staff you have can do their job of an occasional fill in the blank and not the current status of FIX ENTIRE REPORT. 


See how much money you can save??????????


Just a note to above
When someone loves VR some come here and say must be MTSO or a plant. That is another thing said against anyone who likes VR.
just a note
I realize that what these women did to us was wrong, but I am not sure that there is anything that can be done about them. I truly feel your pain and hope you get your money and all works out.
Sent a note, resume, etc.
Just waiting to hear something from them. I heard they are good, too.
see hiring note above
Thank you!
E-mail in first note. NM

so let me get this straight because I am truly - see note

confused on this - REALLY I AM!! Companies that offshore can now post jobs on the job seeker board??  I looked around for the posting that said that companies can do this, but I cannot find it. 


Please do not delete my post.  I am serious about my question and I am not being sarcastic. 


Perhaps the note from Dictaphone was (sm)

something they just found out and all along it has been giving you MORE lines and this note was to inform that it is now corrected and what you see is truly your line count.  This, of course, would make your true line count seem lower but would now be accurate and all this time you have actually been overpaid?


I am not saying this is the actual case, but the note was very vague and could be a notification to the MT that things were not adding up in the past correctly and the situation has now been resolved.  This would leave the MT thinking they are being skimped now, but in actuality they are now receiving their true line count. 


Just a thought!


 


 


I just note on my timesheet
In the hours field, I minus how many hours of no work. I figure it's not my fault, it's theirs. What I don't like is that if it picks up later in the week they say we NEED to make up our time. The way I see it, I'm available when scheduled, sometimes I make it up, sometimes I don't. Life is too short to be stressed out about no work or too much work. My job comes second in my life and I have found this to be the best solution. I guess today is going to be bad because I hardly ever run out since I start really early in the morning and only work part time. I do other things while waiting and if it never comes like today, oh well...soon enough we will be swamped again. It always happens that way.
OSI - I am so sorry - PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION
Note correction in CAPS

If you do control S for a job and click on statistics you will get a number of lines. If you are on OSI's very own line cheating Xpress server, that number will be much HIGHER (NOT LOWER) than the IChart line count. Do this. Do only one job for the day then write down the correct line count using the above method. Go to IChart although it may take hours to show up so you may want to do this on a day off. There is your proof. I-CHART LINES ARE LOWER THAN OSi X-PRESS LINES. The reason the correct statistics are disabled on the XPress server is because OSi is skimming lines and don't want you to see the correct number. OSI is diligently trying to eventually get every possible account on their very own XPress server so they can cheat on all accounts. Rest assured that they are billing the client for the correct line count. I could not make any money with OSI because of their dishonesty. Dictaphone Extext is a good system but OSI could change how it was set up and rip the MT's off.
Looking for OP note companies.....
Mostly I am interested in the name of the company, what kind of internet connection you have to have and amount of work normally available. Things like that. Thanks for the answers.
MBS - on a positive note. sm
I have worked with ******* for almost a year. She has always been pleasant, responsive, and pays on time - has actually overpaid me once.
Please note post on
company board about IRS guidelines and the independent contractor posted today, 7/30.  Looks like some nationals are violating more than 1 guideline when it comes to independent contractors.
I saw that ad and took special note of it also. (sm)
My first thought was their accounts must be extremely backed up and they (KS) are in danger of losing clients, thus the need hire MTs who are going to be able to pull off that line count within only their first week.

However, there is ALL WAYS more to a story than meets the eye.
Moderator, please take note
The jobs board is totally cluttered with Focus ads, breaking that 2 ads rule.  I understand wanting to keep the board full of ads, but they don't need to repost over and over.
Note to Carlotta.
Yes, I used to work for you. Yes, I was one of those people who could not make their committment, but not because of a lack of effort on my part. I was one of those who was put to p.r.n. status at the lower rate. Even though I never understood that. My quality was just as good as the people who were making more, and I should have been compensated in the same manner. Unfortunately, you guys pay according to what a person can produce and not their quality.

For me, the work just was not there and after a year of giving up weekends, staying up all night waiting for the work to come in, I gave up. I was only ever to make about $200 a week at your company. I cannot live off of that.

It is very strange how I am all of sudden able to produce 1000 to 1500 lines a day, every day working for a different company. Strangely enough, they do not overhire and I think that is the main key.

It is sad too, because I really liked the people at MDI and the account I was on was great, but just not enough of it or too many people trying to scramble to get the work.
On a good note....

I view the purpose of this board as an informative tool for MTs, to be used with discretion of course, as each entry is from personal experience and many factors can be involved.


I have posted regarding a negative experience.


On a positive note, I would like to say that I have been working for Webmedx since 9/2008, and so far, so good. 


I am pleased with my account; do not run out of work; have 1 primary account; backup account is offered if needed; OT is offered on a regular basis.  My hours are supposed to be flexible w/i a 10-hour block and I must admit, I abuse that and get no complaints, as long as I put in my hours and do my lines.  The platform is user-friendly.  Communication is good.  Everyone speaks English.  Pay scale is above average for a new hire, above what others have offered in the past.  Benefits seem adequate.  So far, I have no complaints.  All in all, I would recommend them as a good company to work for. 


Good luck to all looking for work.  I know it is a pain to go through the testing required, then set-up time, then training, etc., only to find out you've been hired by a company that does not meet your needs.  



A group note was probably sent to

Note to WMX Management
If you truly want to save money, how about cutting out some of the management layers? Do we really need all of the management currently employed? MTs are vital to the organization, another suit is not.

Before you lose your base, you ought to be looking at other options for saving money. Losing all your good MTs QAs will do nothing but lose you even more clients.

Unhappy workers do not put out quality products. Something to chew on while you're collecting your nice, big fat paychecks.
one more note, then goodbye to you.
YOU are the only one that seems to need the explanation I gave. You admittedly tried to antagonize using the term typist and yet you say I overdramatize? Me thinks you are the drama queen that needs to get over YOURself, with nothing better to do than stir the pot, and YOU are the puffed up one. FYI, no I do not try to impress anyone with my fund of knowledge. You obviously judge others by yourself -- and hopefully you are not too naive to understand what I am saying. Good day troublemaker.
See SoftScript note below
Thanks for the information.  I wondered when I always saw the ad on MT daily.....
InScribe
Don't know if this will help, but EMDAT InScribe is the name of the softwear program that is used by Allegiant Transcription.
Inscribe, LLC

Thank you for the response!  Your info is very much appreciated!



Inscribe, LLC

Does anyone have any info on this company based out of Kentucky?  TIA!



InScribe
Any info on this company, the good/bad?
Inscribe
Has anyone heard of a company called Inscribe located in Florida.  They have a job ad on another board.  I did a search here and came up with nothing. 
Inscribe

A company has offered me a position using inscribe, how is this program.  I know you can use function keys to navigate but I think that would be a pain....  Just wanting some honest opinions on this program before I sink $$ in a foot pedal, etc. 


Inscribe
I work for Inscribe.  I think it is a very good company to work for.
InScribe

Does or has anyone worked for InScribe and what are your thoughts on the company?  I am thinking of contacting them and don't want to make a mistake or waste my time. 


Thanks,


Amy


 


InScribe, LLC
Has anyone heard of this company?
Inscribe
I worked for Inscribe for one year.  They are very unorganized.  The owner tells you one thing, the supervisor tells you another and the work group manager tells you something different. They charged me for not expanding abbreviations when the account specifics clearly said to expand in the impression and diagnosis only.  They get very hateful and they accuse you of things you did not do.  They were nice when I first went to work there and I loved working there and then they got ruder and ruder.  They keep changing things up from one day to the next and keep you confused all the time.  They fired me without warning with no good reason.
Inscribe
I would not suggest going for Inscribe.  They are very unorganized.  One person tells you one thing and another tells you different.  Too many chiefs and not enough indians. 
InScribe......

Hey Everyone,  I was wondering if any one has recent info about InScribe.  I am thinking of a position with them, but would like to know more.  Please e-mail me or post a reply if you work there or know something.  Thank You!!
