I would like these 2 systems to talk with each other and have no idea of how to do it?

What network? It comes on @ 11 p.m. Friday on USA network where I live. - nm

If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal.  The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected.  Many companies will not allow satellite. 
So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm

I don't know about other systems.
I use Express Scribe sometimes but I only work on eScription. I know with a connection that slow you aren't going to be able to use EditScript. I think that the only way you are going to be able to get around that, if you are doing strictly QA, is to use EMON and not use EditScript, although I'm not sure you'll be able to get the voice file to download that way either.
I don't know if different VR systems
But, I have been doing VR for only a month, and I have noticed that the system DOES learn. Mistakes that it made before or phrases it didn't pick up before, it is now getting much better. I used to not want to believe it, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that it will only be a matter of time before it replaces MTs. Since I have over another 30 years in whatever career I choose, I have decided to get out. No sense in going down a road that leads to nowhere.
I have wireless for 3 systems but I believe you
will have to have DSL coming in on a router. From my understanding (and goodness knows I could be wrong) I don't think you can have "wireless" internet without a router from another source. The router is attached to your phone line for DSL and sends out the signal for other wireless adaptors to pickup.

Dictation Systems

I'm looking at going from the good ol' tapes to digital dictation.  What is the best choice for the $$? 


 


Thank you


Dictation systems
Can anyone recommend any good Internet based call in phone systems for doctors to utilize without spending a lot of money on phone line based/computer systems.  Thanks
Reminds me of systems
I've worked on that used Citrix; not being computer savvy, I don't know if they called it a Citrix server or what, but apparently it was a company that they used for some part of the process, and it was not compatible with the software. They I think they had to switch to some other company to speed things up.

That should be about as clear as mud. Sorry.
How about under classification systems in
AAMT BOS(assuming you have this/if not, you can get free through MQ). Hope this helps!
Call-in systems
I've tried out 4 so far. What are the good/bad points of the system you are using?

Thanks!
digital systems
I would go with a DVR and have the docs load it on their computer.  Sounds great!
Are systems capitalized in ROS?
no msg
Some companies' systems are not
compatible with the "new" software, just like a lot do not use Vista. You have to buy what is required to work.
Always be looking. Every day. Network with others. SM

I have the best job I've ever had in my life, and it came from friends on the board. Every job I get is the same way. Word of mouth. I have only filled out one application for employment since 1983 and I already had the job.


They really are out there and it sounds like you are qualified. Are you wanting full time or part time?


Systems are not down for long these days.

Call-in phone systems
What is the best call in phone system out there. I do not want call in on tapes though. I appreciate your input. Deb
So right about the Huge Health Systems - sm
in fact, that was 99.9% of the problem at my hospital. Once it got gobbled by a greedy HMO, everything went downhill fast. They got their fancy new campus at the expense of quality medical care and ethical treatment of its employees.

The run-'em-in and run-'em-out style of practicing medicine puts a lot of pressure on the MDs to see patients quickly, but it's SO not thorough! I saw this not only in the rushed, often mistake-filled reports they dictated, but in my own care as well. They lost a lot of their top-notch MDs because they refused to practice that superficial style of 'Mc Medicine'.

When I see all the greed in the HMOs, and the overspending on upper management and not enough on the nuts-and-bolts of what makes a good hospital, it's easy to see that although they're high-on-the-hog right now, alot of those pompous U-no-whats are riding for a BIG fall someday. I hope I'm still around to see it - it'll make my day.
Rosemarie is right on for trained VR systems. SM
You are obviously currently working with a new system that is still learning how to do its job. The first typewriters were undoubtedly really a pain to use, too. The poor clerks of those days must have begged just to be allowed to use their pen and ink as they always had.

My current system isn't as learned/advanced as my last one, so lots of corrections. It's about as much fun as doing QA cleaning up after a pack of new and sloppy MTs. But it's a temporary situation. And my current pay rate reflects the time needed for all those corrections. Does yours?

Over time, though, more and more reports do start coming through in good condition until most of them just require some general cleanup here and there.

Editing does shift emphasis from one skill to another.
I can see how the very fastest of typists might not make more editing than typing--they always speeded the dictation up to match them, and how people with little talent for editing might make less, but most people should do just as well editing as typing and many do make more at it.
Nuance or OPUS systems

Is anyone out there in transcription land familiar with either of these systems?  I'm starting work for a new client (Pathology) and find them inefficient and require too much non-transcription work to look up doctor's names and demographics.  I'm wondering if I'm missing "something".  Thank you to anyone who can give me a clue.    d


voice reginition systems
If you get dragon and have it listen to the dss files that come in will it automatically start typing the doctors dictation or does it have to be the same voice over and over?
Dictation systems - all input welcome

Hi.  Please let me know if I should post this on a different board. The hospital I work for is looking to change dictating/transcribing systems.  We have dictaphone extext and are looking at WinScribe, Escription, or really we are wide open. 


Does anyone know of a good internet resource that compares the pros and cons? 


Would any of you be willing to share your experience, good or bad, with any software you have used? 


Is there a forum or a thread that has already covered this you can direct me to to research?


TIA!


Brinker Information Systems
Has anyone heard of Brinker Information Systems, LLC?  I can't seem to find them on the web or anywhere.  They are based out of Center City, MN.  They have sent me papers to be faxed to them for IC work, but they did not ask me to test for them or anything.  I am leary to send them anything.  If anyone knows anything it would be helpful.
Brinker Information Systems
I am in the same situation. I would like some information too if anybody has some. Thanks
I agree, we train the VR systems and when
they are perfect (maybe this will never happen), then VR replaces us. Duh?
How can this be an incentive for MTs?
Front-end/back-end systems...

"Front-end" SR means that the original dictator's speech is turned into text. "Back-end" SR means that someone listens to the original dictator, redictating and "cleaning up" the original dication.  This "sanitized" redictation is then fed into the SR engine. 


The main disadvantage of "front-end" systems in the healthcare setting is that they must try to adapt to the speech peculiarities of many different dictators, whereas a "back-end" system only has to deal with the speech patterns of one dictator, namely the person who does the redictation.


Back-end dictation adds a layer of human intelligence to the conversion of speech to text because the person redictating presumably catches errors, eliminates hesitations and miscues, squares up ambiguous sentence structures, etc. - things that front-end dictation cannot do or does very poorly.  As such, while the back-end speech engine might still cause some errors that require keyboard correction, there should not be nearly as many as front-end systems produce.  And, a back-end SR application can be less sophisticated than a front-end system because it is not being required to deal with so many vagaries of human speech.  In fact, a back-end SR application does not need artificial intelligence at all, whereas front-end SR really does.

Typing and backwards, what systems do you use?

Point of Care systems

Anyone here had experience with doctors going to Point of Care systems (Pulse)? My doctors are trying this now and I'm wondering if it will be too difficult and time consuming for them. Sure is cutting way back on my work. Thanks. Teri.


Point of Care Systems
It's my own account. They use the Pulse EHR.
can't she just do a systems restore to the day before she downloaded it? nm

Yes, the icon is in the systems tray. nm

We could have our own network MTtV

Have a show like Candida Camera where a resident spends an hour with a patient that he doesn't understand.  When the doctor asks where the pain is the patient can point to his chest and as soon as the MD starts listening to the chest, the patient can change his mind and tell him the pain is in the back.  When he goes to the back, the patient can tell him, "no wait, in the stomach".  He can give him a list of medicines all spelled wrong and dosages all wrong.  Then when the doctor is giving him instructions, the patient can start talking on his cellphone, making the doctor sit and wait while the patient talks to someone else.


Or....


In another episode of Candida Camera, show a physician talking to consulting doctor who speaks a number of different dialects or a doctor who talks a million milds a minute in half-syllable words.  Watch Dr. A try to understand what Dr. B as he makes up words, lab tests, and diagnoses.

For the network either, apparently.
BTW, I think it sucks that he left his wife and poor little ill baby for his new co-star. Glad it was canceled!!!
What about DISH network?
We are not worried about the TV aspect as we do not own a TV! This would be strictly for the internet service.
Is the printer on a network?
You may have to "wake up" the computer that printer is directly connected to and/or reboot that computer.
hughes network
I had them also before as I live way out there. They sound a little better than Wildblue but I still had many problems and felt they were not much faster than dial up either. We now also have DSL with windstream and even though it is the slowest connection that windstream has, it is better than dialup or satellite. I enjoy it also. To get started with Hughes network it cost me $800.00 to buy the dish and $60.00 a month. I still have the dish on the house and have no use for it. I too am happy with my DSL.
Network Problem
The problem could be any of several different things. We'll have to step through this and I'll need to be able to ask you some questions so we should probably take this offline to email.

Just hit "Reply by E-mail" at the bottom of this post with the subject "Network Problem" and I'll get back to you.
network air card
I have one which I purchased a month ago. it works well. I went with Verizon because it is 5 Gigs and ATT is only 3 Gigs of usage which makes a lot of difference. It works well and is portable. Sounds like it would be good for you in your situation. The first bill is more becuase of the setup fee, etc. ($112). I have not decided if I will keep my internet carrier or just have the Verizon. it is enough unless you want to view movies do a lot of video stuff. That will send you over the amount and cost a lot more. Hope you granddaughter gets better post haste. Will remember her in prayer.
Prison systems in this state use in-house MTs, I am almost certain of.

I don't think the present Voice Systems will improve
I believe it is best not to name names, as others have pointed out in this message board. So, instead, I will simply post the job as listed on MTjobs.com and say that the same person is posting this job as when I was bilked. 'Nuff said.

They have always done well by me. I don't trust the computer phone systems. sm
If my computer goes out, them my phone goes out and how will I call them?  I prefer to have my eggs in several baskets.  Computer and TV cable on the same line.  Phone on a land line, Verizon.
You can still buy some computers with the choice of operating systems.
I know for a fact that you can do this on the Dell website, although not all models offer that option. Your best bet is to find someone who can buy a computer that does what you need it do to, no more and no less. That way you can pay for only what you want/need.
I need some advice on digital dictation systems
I am talking to a psychotherapist about possibly doing her transcription.  She does not dictate presently, but is interested in getting started. I am thinking of asking her to go digital, but I don't know the first thing about getting started, what equipment we'll need, etc.  I currently work for a national, so they sent me the PC and footpedal, and that was it. Any advice would be so appreciated.  I don't wanna sound like a dummy when we talk...thanks y'all!

He's still on the air because he owns the network. Nuff said? nm
:
You can Google for the show on the network and
read episode summaries online. Or there are websites out there with the fullblown scripts of every episode posted. I think they're even coming up with websites where you can legally watch reruns for $.99. I used to read the long scripts on my favorite TV show when we didn't have cable.
