ChartNet
Has anybody used this platform?  Migrating to it from Word and concerned about the "learning curve."  Any comments on ease of use?  Wondering how many (if any) use it besides us or if it is proprietary.
ChartNet
That's definitely reassuring!  Thanks!  How long did it take you to "get up to speed" as far as your quota?  Are you able to keep up with your lines or are you flying in the dark?
Chartnet
I went from DictExt, to Chartnet, and now back to DictExt. I definitely miss Chartnet. It is very efficient and I would not hesitate to recommend it.
Chartnet
It is by far the BEST platform I have ever used.  Have been around the block on hospital-based platforms for years.  And while it pains me to say this, prior to using chartnet, the best platform I had used prior  to that was the DQS system from MQ.  (pthewy!)  Well let me tell you, Chartnet just FLIES away compared to DQS.  It is extraordinarily efficient.  My line counts easily doubled.  Give it a shot!  You won't be disappointed.  BTW, I am not exactly a tekk wizard, so if I could do it, anyone can. Good luck to you and spend all your extra cash wisely!
ChartNet
Alright, then!  Bring it on!  Thanks ladies.
Chartnet
Have used chartnet while working in house, now working at home for same hospital, but cannot access reports previously typed which I was able to do in house.
ChartNet
Have used chartnet while working inhouse.  Have been set up at home from the same hospital using the same system.  However, I cannot access old reports to review them.  Any suggestions.
Chartnet?
Does anyone know of ANY company that is hiring that provides Chartnet for their transcriptionists?  I heard it is a a big timesaver and easy to use, especially for non-tekkies like myself.  Appreciate the info, THANK YOU! 
ChartNet
SPI Healthcare Documentation uses Chartnet. I think it is very user friendly.
chartnet fan
Also Premier Office Transcription.  Small company but friendly, honest, and reliable pay.  Gotta love ChartNet!
Chartnet
CyMed also uses Chartnet.
I use Chartnet and need to know how...
to backup my expanders.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Do I use a disk?  I read about using a thumb drive or data stick.  No idea how to use this either.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
Chartnet
Is that the web-based program by Chartscript? My hospital is moving to it also. They said by 1st quarter of this year but no news yet. We had a presentation on it and it looks pretty good.
ChartNet
I've worked on Chartnet for about 1-1/2 years and like it. Send me a private note if you have specific questions. You can see some screen captures here: http://www.hudson-medical.com/cn-transcription.htm
ChartNet
I worked on Chartnet for several years, and after just about a half hour of training, I was back up to 1500 lines a day!  It is the best, THE BEST, platform out there as far as I'm concerned.  I'm working with ExText out there and words cannot express how much I detest it.  Dictaphone never did have a clue.  Go with ChartNet.  Your employees will adore you!
Chartnet
Sorry I cannot answer your question regarding internet speed but wondering if you can tell me what company is going to Chartnet.  I was under the impression that SPI bought that program exclusively.  I loved working on Chartnet for Cymed.  Did not love working for SPI.  Thanks in advance.
I have been using the ChartNet platform for
the past 9 months and love it. It is a word-based platform and very easy to learn and use. I find it to be very productive. There are also several features that I especially like, such as being able to access reports previously dictated by a physician for reference and the ease of entering shortcuts. Give it a try.
Does any company use chartnet?
I think Chartnet was the best plateform I've every typed in and I haven't heard of any companies who use it anymore.  Does anyone know of a company that uses it?  I would love to work in it again. 
Meditech-ChartNet

Any information on Meditech-ChartNet would be extremely helpful.


TIA.


Chartnet by Chartscript
Is anyone working on Chartnet by Chartscript? Would like to know your opinion on it. My hospital is moving to it soon.

I worked on Chartnet for a very brief...sm
time. I did not like it because it is not word based and therefore my Expander would not work and neither would my spellchecker. That is a major slowdown.
Instant Text with ChartNet

Does anyone who works with Chartnet know if Instant Text is compatible? 


TIA! 


Does Shorthand work with Chartnet?

Does ShortHand for windows work with plantform Charnet?  Thanks.


MedScribe is in the process of going to ChartNet sm
They have moved some accounts and are doing this hospital by hospital. I'm still on the old system but my turn is coming. I was a little nervous about it at first, but from what I've ready here, I am now looking forward to it.

MedScribe is a great company...I've worked for them a little over a year after leaving MQ and am very happy here. :-)
Cymed uses ChartNet and it is a great software
system. Lots of things to make transcription easier for
Internet speed requirement for Chartnet?
My company is in the process of moving to Chartnet and are saying the optimum internet speed is 3000 Kbs upload, 600 Kbs download. At best, I get 1200 Kbs upload, 400 Kbs download,but often less. I have no other internet options where I live. Am I going to have a lot of problems? Thanks in advance.
It IS ExText, Word is simply the word proccessor used. ExText is marketed
by Dictaphone with Transnet and ESP is the expansion software incorporated into it. I used this platform when I worked for the hospital. I believe Wordclient is the speech recognition portion of this platform.
Extext

Does anyone like extext?  Any information on Extext would be helpful!  Does anyone like the word Expander better than shorthand?


TIA


Extext
I like Extext a lot and use it with Shorthand also. I didn't even know there was an Expander in Extext until a couple weeks after I started the job. So much for training! No, I don't work for Amphion.
ExTEXT

Is anyone familiar with this program?  I have been offered part time and she asked me if i had a dictaphone, and then said we use extext where it goes directly into the hospital.   Help!! 


Texas - sunny and 78 degrees!


Extext
I HATE ExText. There is NO foundation to build from. You have to start from scratch. I have Smartype which I currently am unable to use with a company I just signed up with, and I'm about ready to quit as ExText is the WORST word Expander I have ever seen. There are NO preloaded words or abbrevs. like there are in SmarType, so starting with the word "a" ... you have to create ALL of your shortcuts off the top of your head. Again, if I'm wrong about ExText, I hope someone will set me right, but for now, I detest it. Sorry; maybe some people like it, but if they do, ask them if they have ever used SmarType or some other Word Expander program.
extext
Thanks for everyone's input... I do use ShortHand now, and am glad i can continue to use it.   Now I KNOW i'm going to take the account! 
Has anyone ever had EXText and VPN

installed on their home computer and discovered that Control T or Control X won't work in Word any more?


If so, does anyone know how to fix it?  I really need help here and can't get it from anyone. 


i use extext
to stop expanding, i.e. if I just want PT, I've just created new "expansions". I create PTx for PT, MRSAx for MRSA, etc. It's much quicker.
ExText

I work on ExText, and have previously work on DQS;


Yes, it has a spellchecker (mine does anyway) and expander.  As compared to DQS, they are comparable...not really much difference that I can say right off the top of my head. For me, the program really doesn't seem to make a huge difference, it's more the dictators that seem to make the most difference, as well as the company you work for.  My company happens to be great! Loads of work, plenty of incentive, and nice nice supervisors and QA. I love it!!!


EXText
I am so glad I could help. I have been using EXT for about 5 years now and I did the same thing with the Control/T when I first started using it!! Its a great program. I wouldn't use anything else.
Extext
I agree with poster below and am wondering the same thing - why are you using Ctrl T??? That ends your documement you are working on.
EXText
You cannot access voice unless the company has given you listening rights, which is usually not available on the MT side .. only QA.
I mean exText nm

HELP WITH EXTEXT
I had made macros to enlarge my view to 145% (Alt-B) while I type, and then another macro to shrink it down to 100% (Alt-S) before I send document.  All of a sudden, these macros will not work!  They have been working for months.  ANY SUGGESTIONS?
EXText

Ours is set up so that you have to search for the correct patient and correct encounter number. Hit select and that patient's name should come up on the demographics screen. When you open the document, the name should be changed to the correct one.


If the correct patient is not in your system, you have to create a new encounter.

EXText
I checked my manual-nothing about deleting, but you can edit them: CTL R, select normal, then ALT T, edit, and CTL N to close. Hope this helps.
ExText
I use ExText and I can use my autocorrects etc... from MS Word. They have their own Expander in the program but I used my MS Word as I already had them all saved there. I didn't find it a hard program to learn at all. Hope this helps.
ExText

I use ExText.  Easy program to learn.  Great for searching for previous documents, etc.  It has its own Expander but you don't have to use it.  It is built-in, so if you leave the company you lose everything in it.  It supports the other expander programs just fine.  You can also make normals and save them in ExText in a different mode than in their expander.  There has been some talk here of low line counts with it (which I tend to agree with) and you may want to research that a bit, but they say it is the company you work for that programs how the lines/characters are counted and not the fault of ExText. 


Good luck to you!


ExText
I agree it's very "user friendly' and I am quite technically challenged so for me to say this, it really is!  I have only used a couple other platforms but this is definitely my favorite - very easy to use.  
Another Fan of EXText

I use it now and I love it.  I started out on eScription/EditScript and that was a breeze.  I was afraid EXText would be difficult, but it's very user-friendly and easy to adapt.  I don't care for the ESP, but EXText works great with my Instant Text.


One of my favorite features is the search.  If you don't know a doctor's name but can get the first 3-4 letters, you can type those letters and a ? and the search will give you a list.


ExText
All of a sudden my sentences are indenting.  I probably hit something I didn't mean to but how do I get the report be flush left again?  
Extext
Anybody out there work from home for a hospital, not a service,  as an employee using Dictaphone ExText, transnet and speech?  I'd like to ask  a few questions.  Thanks.
don't use EXText but...
I have seen this happen before in word when revising some hospital bilaws. They were typed in an outline format and if you tried to add back in it would type straight through the right margin. What is the Alt command you are using? Agree with previous poster, it may be in your company template. Are you starting in the header by any chance?
ExText
I used to work at Dictaphone and used speech. Now I work from home as a subcontractor for Nuance (they bought Dictaphone recently) for a hospital. I have not used speech since becoming a subcontractor but am hoping it is coming along soon. I can try to answer your questions. E-mail away if you like.
extext esp help please!!!

Hi,  New to this!!!!


Other than ctrl, ctrl, is there an easier way to use the ESP on Extext?  If I highlight what can I do after that to do it faster? 


Also, if I'm creating one....how do I set it up???  ....example..... {bold on}HISTORY AND PHYSICAL: 


Thanks!!!!
