Does anybody have any sample intro letters or flyers - Posted By: frustrated MT

they'd be willing to share?  I'm just looking for something that you found effective when picking up your own accounts.  I have a database of potential clients ready to go, but my flyer looks a bit cheesy.  Thank you.

A Mother's Day poem - Posted By: for someone whose mother is gone

Don't think of her as gone away
Her journey's just begun
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know, today
Now nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she is loved so very much.

How does one go about getting a raise? IC working for pennies needs more $$$ - Posted By: suzq

I have been working with my company as an IC for over a year, want to make more $$$$. Make 3 cpl editing and 8 cpl typed.  The first time I asked for a raise I was making 7 cpl and owner said they could give me a penny more for the typed lines but no more for editing, since that would leave the editors with only a penny per line?  I like the flexibility and freedom of working with them and thought it was a trade off but feel unappreciated and underpaid...


thanks for any replies...

MDI-MDers/BayScribers: Do you use - Posted By: LRS

the BayScribe word Expander or your own?  I guess I spent too many years with Instant Text because BayScribe doesn't seem nearly as simple or efficient to me, and I'm thinking of switching back.  My version of IT is ancient though, so I'm trying to decide if I should make the investment.  What are your experiences and recommendations?



Help, need advice on glasstop stoves - Posted By: panicky

I am renting a place for the summer and the owners have a GE Monogram black glass top stove.  It was in perfect condition when I arrived.  I did some cooking, got the normal amount of grease spatter that I do when cooking.  No problem I thought.  There is some Windex in the cupboard that they left behind.  So I used a papertowel and Windex.  Then after that I saw in the cupboard some glass top cleaner that is recommended for that particular stove.  So I finished cleaning the top of the stove iwth the cleaner. 


Part of the surface came off on the two big burners!!! I have asked some people and they say oh that's normal wear and tear.  But how can that be!!


Then, I decided to boil eggs the other morning.  I thought I would try something - I made sure that the bottom of the pan was absolutely dry, the top of the stove was dry and clean - and I used a burner that I had not used previously.  No water spilled over, no mess was made.  Phheewww, what a relief.  Until .... I had a friend over and showed her the stove and to my shock, the back burner which I had not used before had little marks/chippings on it!!


Does anyone have a stove like this? What should I do? I'm renting the place and I'm very nervous about telling these people (who I've never met) about what I did to their stove! Has this happened to anybody out there??

MTs/factory workers - Posted By: hdr

I'm sure many younger and maybe even older MTs might not agree with this, so if you do, I'll be pleasantly surprised. The "how many lines per hour can you do?" mentality so prevalent in medical transcription today is not a good thing for this profession. This belittles the professionalism of the job we do, a profession which requires immense medical knowledge and skill, a fact which, sadly, no one in hospital administration or other positions of management have a clue about and really don't want to know about, else they would have to monetarily compensate us for the professionals we really are. The sad fact is that like a frog being killed by slowly upping the temperature of the water in which he is immersed, without his being aware of the change in temperature, we have by an analagous method slowly but surely become no more than skilled factory workers. X-ray techs, nurses, physical therapists, and other professionals are not evaluated on the basis of the number of patients they take care of each day but on how well they take care of these patients, so why are we evaluated on the basis of how many lines of transcription we can do per hour or day rather than the quality and accuracy of the reports we transcribe? It used to be our responsibility as MTs to put the patient first, to give the appropriate time to research any questions we have regarding the physician's dictation on a particular patient and to make sure we get it right for the sake of the patient, but now it has become the focus of our profession to see many lines per hour we can transcribe. This mentality leads to just trying to produce lines rather than trying to transcribe accurate medical reports. It is my firm opinion that we should not be paid by the line but by the hour, and unfortuantely, AAMT has not been there to represent us in this very relevant issue. If we are so professional as they espouse, then why don't they try to get on track and reverse this trend? In my opinion, AAMT has failed us. They have been so focused on style issues, which are of far less significance than medical accuracy and have caused many of us to boil inside because of the attention given to these really mostly irrelevant issues, that the crux of our problems has escaped them. They have been in absentia and have not been focusing on the issue of getting health care facilities and transcription companies to recognize us for the professionals we are and elevating our pay scale to the level it should be. I have been an MT for over 20 years, so I've seen the negative changes as they've slowly but surely transpired through the years. Perhaps it's time for me to leave the profession altogether because I just can't deal with this "factory productivity" mentality.

Anybody here work only on a laptop and not use desktop computer at all? - Posted By: SM

Does it drive you crazy with the small keyboard and small screen? Maybe it's something you get used to and compensate for when working. I'm considering getting a laptop just for work to keep things separate but looking for pros and cons of this. I figured somebody on the board has some advice on this.

Radiology account question - Posted By: Rad MT

How does your company handle covering your radiology account? It seems that you have no way or predicting when radiologists will dictate so how do they hande it? I am experiencing sometimes they get on early and dictate and sometimes at night. This makes it hard to get turnaround or have a life. It is so unpredictable. If you do not work when the work is there though you do not get paid. I wonder if there is a turnaround time like radiology has the doctors or hospitals could have certain guidelines for dictating. I do not know but I am frustrated. I love radiology and my account but it is really causing problems at my house being on call all the time like I seem to be.

RE: OFFSHORING OF U.S. PATIENT RECORDS..SM - Posted By: U.S. MT

I think the solution is to send a standardized letter to every major medical facility, as well as the major medical insurance carriers (Aetna, Health America, BC/BS, Medicare and Medicaid), addressing corporate heads and informing them that their doctors' medical records risk being transcribed overseas in a foreign country where HIPAA regulations do not apply and cannot be enforced. Address the big wigs to get their attention because I truly believe many are not aware of what is happening. There are so many U.S. transcription companies who advertise, snag the client, and provide a contract for the doctor or medical facility in no way indicating that they send their dictation overseas, only to have it available first thing in the morning. So what if the time frame is good. If I were a doctor, I would not even consider the risk of sending my patients' personal information to another county and risking the issue of security to save a few dollars. The insurance companies, who pay the insurance claims on office visits, hospitalizations, surgeries, long term care, should be the first to be made aware of this ridiculous situation. Physician practices, hospitals, hospital administrators, and MTSO's need to put a stop to providing services to offshore companies who work for slave wages, takes jobs away from hard working and experienced U.S. MTs, and jeopardize the security of confidential information regarding our U.S. citizens. Let India transcribe their fingers off for their country's citizens. America, quit trying to save a few dollars by jeopardizing our citizen's most private information. This is such a joke!

Desktop or Laptop? Gotta buy a new puter...sm - Posted By: Tasha

Not sure whether I would like to buy another desktop or a laptop.  My hubby has a laptop and the only way I can transcribe on his is if I use an adaptor to connect my ergonomic keyboard.  I am wondering if the screen from the laptop would cramp my style.  I am leaning more towards another desktop because I can use my hubby's when traveling, but then still question what brand.  Anyone willing to give some suggestions as far as brand, specs, capabilities.  I would rather hear from fellow MTs versus sales people in the store selling me things I really do not need.  Thanks!!



MEDGARDE??? - Posted By: HS

I recently tested with this company and passed the short testing process.  I then got an email with a link to some situational questions that I needed to do that had nothing to do with MT work, just ethical questions.


The email said that I would be contacted after the questions were complete.  That's been a week ago and I still haven't heard from them. 


Can anyone tell me if they are slow responding to these type of things or if I should just write them off?  They responded to me very quickly after my test was submitted, but now there's just nothing.


Any advice?

need help in deciding jobs - Posted By: walk the dog

Hi out there.  I am looking for some insight on a decision as to what I should do.  I know of a company hiring for IC.  I would probably only have to work 4 hours a day with flexibility and I would stay at my present company part time just to see how the new one would work out.  I have to wait a whole year (or so they say) at my present company if I want to go back to full time.  I know with IC I would be responsible for my own taxes.  Do, I, myself have to pay into medicare?  I'm just wondering if it is worth an IC job part time and having to pay taxes.  I know I would love the flexibility and it would be a little lower than what I was making now at my FT job.  Thanks for listening.  I have the saying "when one door shuts another opens" running through my mind but I'm just wondering what my best options are.

Anyone with exp compiling reports? - Posted By: Julie

I've been contacted by an office and was asked if I could "compile" reports.  It was explained that they scan the history and docs chart, and I would create the report from those documents.  Obviously this is more time consuming than dictation.  I'm wondering if anyone has done this, if you have how the best way to bill was, and did you find it worthwhile?  Thank you. 

escritption database errors - Posted By: MomMT

It seems lately that I'm always getting database errors, either while pulling up updated physicians lists or problems with the queue.  Sometimes it won't even get past the login screen and requires a reboot of computer because editscript won't shut all the way down, even though there are no indications of it running on my task manager, so I can't restart it without a reboot.  At times it is only one account and I can login to another, others it is any account I try to login and pull up queue.  At times this decreases my work time by hours.  I've redone my whole computer hoping this would resolve the issue if it were my computer.  From what I can tell there is no difference between now and whe Escript seemed to be working perfectly well, at least on my end. 


Anybody else with this problem or any ideas? 



Want to start my own small business, need advice..sm - Posted By: Shari Pierce

Hi all.  I am looking to get started doing some transcribing on the side for myself, and perhaps turn it into a small business.  Right now, I only have the capabilities of doing tapes and using Word as my software to transcribe in.  I feel like I should look into digital and see how much the equipment would run, and how easy it would be to use.  Does anyone have any recommendations on something that is relatively inexpensive for a beginner? Should I stick to my guns and start out with tapes first?  Any advice would certainly be appreciated.  I have been doing this for 16+ years and I feel like I shouldn't have any problems getting some local work drummed up.  I am getting ready to type up some letters to send out and I guess I will go from there.  Thanks in advance!!!!

I'm thankful to have a job at all - Posted By: new attitude

To my fellow MTs on Thanksgiving Day.  A poem that makes me realize how blessed I am to have a job at all in this economy.  Even if it's not perfect, it's a paycheck.    Hope it touches the heart of all who read it.


 


BE THANKFUL

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

Homeschooling - Posted By: Brandy

By the post below, I have noticed that there are a few people here that homeschool. I am curious how you approached this and what steps you took to get started?

I have a son (five-years-old) who is in the public school system at the moment with a developmental delay. I don't feel that his needs are being met at the moment academically or socially for that matter, so I am interested to learn about homeschooling, as I think this may be an option for me to approach given the particular situation.

Any information that anyone who homeschools could provide would be wonderful!

Thank you very much and have a wonderful day!

The electronic medical record has replaced MTs at my job..it's all over! - Posted By: MimiMT

My job has been scanning all the medical records over to electronic medium and the doctors are now taking laptops in the exam room with them and typing in all the info, so basically, my job will be obselete once this transition is over. 


Our boss has been doing a comparison of the clinics who now have the electronic medical record--those docs went from dictating thousands of lines in a weekly period to less than 50!!!  Of course this is a tremendous difference and it's "lights out" for us MTs.  We've got about a good year before it's all done.


Have any of you been affected by this new technology?


P.S.  I didn't care so much anyhow...I hate this industry and this job, so I've been looking for other employment anyhow.
