I'm willing to compromise. Is there a company that only includes(sm)

In Reply to: If there is a company out there that let's you type on a blank page, I haven't found it. I - MissouriMT
basic patient info in the headers and footers and does not include all of the headings as a template? What I've found is that these two companies have gone from originally just basic patient info in the header footer (which I don't expect to get paid for) to basically making the entire report a template and we're just basically filling in the blanks and hunting and pecking for the headings. This, I feel, is just not right. The excuse being used is that "it saves us from having to type that information." It would actually be quicker for us to type it - even without an Expander - than to be doing it this way.

My compromise...
My hubby is also off the next two weeks for plant shutdown for which he gets fully paid but us - we don't work, we don't get paid  ....so I work part-time at MQ and pt at our local hospital at home. My compromise was to take off 2 weeks from our local hospital. I will still work my required part-time shifts at MQ and have every other day off with the family. At least with MQ I can do extra work (if there is any) but getting up early in the a.m. when all the guys are sleeping from staying up all night cause they are on "vacation". I am the only female in a house of 3 males (my hubby, a 16 yo and 14 yo) so I always have to be the "adult". But at least this way he knows to plan stuff together on my time off - oh ya and when I'm working - I booked things for him to do - take the car in for maintenance, take the dog to the vet, etc. Share and share alike  .
May a compromise would be (sm)
To come up with some kind of straight for her normal to compensate for pulling it up and preparing the report with it...if it's totally the same from top to bottom. However, if there is even one change to the normal, then it would convert to your normal line rate.
Maybe a compromise?
I was the same way at her age with the makeup and wanting to fit in with my friends. My mother forbade me from shaving, but everyone teased me about my hairy little legs and armpits, so I did it anyways. Mom didn't notice until a few months later. She also didn't want me to wear makeup to school, so I learned about makeup from my girlfriends and bought it with my own money. I got teased over the makeup, too, because it looked horrible. Black eyeliner, blue eyeshadow. Maybe you could get her some "unmakeup" to use? Try the shiny lip glosses with no color and some of the pale nail polish colors. Teach her that makeup is something to enhance your natural beauty instead of replacing it. On the one hand, we don't want our daughters to look like the latest pop stars. On the other hand, being teased by other kids is not a good thing. At least she's not shoplifting "streetwalker" clothes at the mall and changing in the school bathroom. I never did that, but my friends did.
Here's a compromise for ya! -sm
How 'bout we let the Indian transcriptionists have all the thick-accented, impossible-to-decipher INDIAN DOCTORS to transcribe, and leave the American-born docs (whom they probably have more trouble understanding, anyway) to us?
Sound like a plan?
I think that's a very fair compromise, Sheri. nm

I do not compromise any patient, just because I am able to do part
someone else couldn’t, oh, well. My work looked at, graded just like anyone elses and I do not go under 98-99. When a post starts coming in they have a child at home, this is a reason why they want to work this to do that, this is where all the posts are coming from saying why are we not taken seriously as professionals. The people on here answer their own questions. Professionals are not employees trying to stay at home babysitting, home schooling, running errands for their friends/families, and the list goes on and on. It comes not from me but from all the others complaining about the fact not taken seriously and your post is same theme. No one should feel bad about the per cent line I get because I have worked for the same place for almost 20 years and the work to me is like taking candy from a baby, so easy so therefore I can really pour on the steam. Icing on the cake, wouldn’t have it any other way.
Her experience includes
She has SOME experience with transcribing psychological reports, but she does require terminology training in order to do other fields of medicine. I am a prior instructor of MT so I know how to do an OJT and create an excellent candidate. She is studying her textbook concurrently. It IS hard to find paid internships but I think it is an excellent way to learn, at the elbow of someone else. Thanks for your valuable input everyone!
Ours is "diagnostic data" and includes it all.NM

I have one (USB) I am selling for $85 (this includes shipping)
when I bought it I was told to get USB. I don't even know if it comes in PS/2 or not. It does not matter what your keyboard it as far as I know. My keyboard is a wireless with an transmitter plugged in at the PS/2 port. Ask the MTSO which you should buy and you should have your answer if you are worried. But if you want mine I take PayPal and M.O. --- it is basically brand new, used for about 2 hours, have original box too. But is is a IN-PI-USB. See my note on the Classified's page.
Probably because she needs a job, it's paying, includes benefits.

Read the manual again on how to use Includes.
My single words on the phrases side are in a separate glossary.
Thanks! Do you have a spellcheck that includes drug updates?
If your doctor includes your SS# as do many of the doctors I do, you better worry. I don't want

nursing shortage includes nurses for instructors...sm
you can't teach nursing classes without nurses to teach the classes - that's part of the shortage and part of the reason why the shortage continues. Also more nurses are going for the bachelor's degree (4 years vs. 2 years) and that is extending the time before they are out in the work force.
That price s/l it includes the software. I bought a pedal
just a few months ago for $70.00 that is brand new. It is an Infinity pedal that has been configured to be used with VXP. It is also referred to as DVI, same software just different name. I have been using it for 5 years and have had 3 foot pedals, none of which cost more than $70.00.
If the test includes what a child SHOULD know, then there's no problem with testing for it.

Time to confront them and ask what the future plan is and if it includes you. nm
s
depends if includes headers, spaces, one or the other, character line, etc.

Apply for a medical secretarial position, which almost always includes transcription in the job desc
Does this seem fair? To charge .16 per line - includes printed reports, copies on disk for one year
and delivery. I do travel twice a week to this office. Plus, at times I will fax or email the reports free of charge. I live in Southern California in an upscale area.
Thanks again!
Norton Internet Security does this. Costs the same as Norton AV and includes it.
has a user list, which you, as administrator, can have password protected so users cannot change the list. What we do is put on sites that we approve. Anything else has to be done on the laptop in view...
You can buy Internet Security every year anytime from Jan through April tax time, and get rebates. Just as cheap as NAV and includes it, as I said.
What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t

The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers

Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location
VR company? Not when the MT company owns its own VR equipment. n/m.

I have my own company email with my new company.
I can't answer your questions in your original post, I can tell you that with my new company, I have my own company email account, and I much prefer it. My old company had us use our personal email accounts, and they listed everyone who received emails in the cc line. They really never maintained those lists, and I received emails from them for a full five months after I quit - that despite my repeatedly asking to be removed from lists. Because the list had been passed from one person to the next in the company, I kept having to block sender after sender. Finally I replied to all, for each and every email I had gotten over a month's time. Well, that pretty much ended it.
I like to keep work and personal separate as much as possible.
It can vary from company to company.
If a company is on one coast and you on the other it can affect shift time, meaning usually if you want to start work 9-10 instead of 11 you could for 3rd shift, etc.
Buy your own... company computers are for that company only!

some of what you want to know varies from company to company,
client to client. The services each have their own QA grading system and you will get a copy at hire that tells you everything they deduct, and for how many points. This usually also includes formatting, such as wrong dates, right exam/wrong patient, etc.
You will need to know your punctuation and grammar first and foremost and use it properly, this is what you do. THEN if the client requests garbage in/garbage out (usually because they don't trust leaving anything up to us), you give it to them even though it hurts -- and should not be marked off QA for it.
Where do you study? Colleges with the 2 yr transcription course in my state make you take a year (or 2) of English grammar. No offense, but it's pretty much a 5th/6th grade review (is vs are, doctors' vs doctor's).
blanks will be limited, usually to 2, before you cannot send the report to client.
Wrong shortcuts - pay attendion to detail.
Varies from company to company
My first company I chose specifically because I knew they had a mentoring program and you had 12 weeks of "mentoring" to get up to speed. The training was very thorough. The first week was all training classes. There were very limited samples (1-2 per doc if at all). I worked there 6 months and never made their production quota, but they didn't care. When I asked my account manager about it, she said they knew the account was very difficult 95+% ESLs) and she wasn't worried about my production, that I was doing well.
I have also worked with companies that just did a training over the phone (usually about an hour) just to learn the platform. Then they did full QA for a day or two and then I was on my own. For both of these companies, I could review all the past reports of the doctors on the platform. That was really nice. I didn't have production requirements with these positions, just a daily schedule that I had to stick to. They just wanted to know when I would be working.
My recent company gave me a 10-minute training over the phone and gave me a couple of samples of a couple of the harder docs. I then had to submit 3 reports to the account manager to review, and then I was off on my own and was required to meet production immediately.
So it all depends. Each company is different. Good luck on the new job!
Try the company board with name of company.

My company did
They accessed and I watched what they were doing. It was an odd occurrence for me to watch...amazing, actually. I was amazed at the technology, but I suppose everything was okay, cause not had any problems from it. Like I said, I could see everything they were doing. It was like they had control of the mouse and I was watching with them sitting beside me!
My company did....
I was having major problems and they had to gain access to fix it. He told me that after our session, access could not be gained again. My husband (who is a computer nerd) confirmed this.

the company is e-Tranz out of Snellville GA
which company?
There is Transcription Solutions, Inc. in Texas and there is Transcription Solutions of South Carolina.
a company I got a job with
They say that as an IC I should carry insurance due to if I type something wrong or whatever they will not back me unless I am an employee and the Dr. or client can sue me......
company.
What is it you want to know about them?
You could try this company.
Try Beyond Words - I worked for them for a while and they are exactly what you are looking for. I don't know if they are hiring or not, but it can't hurt to try.

I have recently started working for JLG Medical. They pay good line counts for acute care. I was informed they are looking to hire over 100 MTs. So far, I am very satisfied. They do assign you to several different accounts so that you do not run out of work, but if that does not bother you, this is a company you might want to look into.
Just My Company??? Any others??
Is my company, Medquist, the first one to get set up with a convenient auto link in our posts, set up by MTStars, and not the posters, to direct readers to MTStars "review" site, where they get to inform everyone of whatever info they choose - outsourcing status, bad press, bad reviews, and all the negatives in one easy click?? I've only seen the link for MY company to date, as well as even further linking their transcription platform. Lots of other companies below with no cute link to "bash" them provided by MTstars. Is MQ by chance just your first choice of this new "change"? Company board has no such handy links for other companies either. While I work for MQ, and certainly have HUGE issues with them, this board will now be a true conflict of interest for MQ employees to even post on, as the board itself has now taken an aggressive stance of being anti-Medquist. So, do we support a forum that could help Medquist lose accounts, while helping their MTSO friends gain accounts, via a slanted info display? It was camouflaged before, the favoritism of certain companies, while flaming others, but still obvious to those of us who hang here, and still denied by Admin. But this is openly helping steer everyone and anyone to a preselected list of negatives, handpicked by MT Stars. Though, naturally, I will be told via "private email" that they are working on posting the positives. And, as dismal as all things MQ may seem, there ARE positives. Not gonna post them either, nor the negatives, as that is not my beef. While I am waiting to see what the courts decide regarding MQ, there are still 10K MTs employed by MQ, not to mention countless innocent tech support people, etc., so for MTStars to aggressively campaign against MQ using this board as their tool is NOT fair for the MTs. And Gee, isn't that was MTStars always said this board was about? The MTs, no matter who we worked for? Well, I can't give my suppor to a forum that is threatening to take MY income away as well!I know - nobody will miss me, good riddance, etc. But the point is - just wait til its YOUR precious company being negatively impacted. Pretend you work for Transcend, or Spheris, or Medware, or MDI, or Diskriter - (by the way, in fairness' sake, when I post this, all these company names should now have been converted to hyperlinks). If they are - fair. If they are not - slanted and NOT fair. If someone even posts negatively about your companies, some of you get foaming at the mouth - we all can relate that while we ALL are unhappy about something with our companies, its another thing to sit back and watch them being slammed with one negative after another. Imagine now if MTs and any reader can be directed via link from your very own post to some "review" section that just lists all the crap about your company. Not cool. Not impartial and will negatively impact the life of this board, and the honesty and credibitily of any referrals. This board is censored, but not openly. That is the WORSE censorship there is! We all know companies like KS have negatives get removed - POOF! not hard to figure - MQ's negative stay til eternity - preserved better than a can of SPAM! and it is NOT just about offshoring. That's just an excuse and 1 piece of the equation. Period. So, where are all the links for dirt on all the companies??? Probably won't be watching, cause I am so disgusted with this garbage. This isn't a place for MTs to share and support each other. Its a forum that is supposed to fool us perceived stupid MTs into thinking its for us, but its a tool for someone to pursue their one agenda. Which is fine, but be HONEST about it.

Has anyone worked for Breitner Transcription? Are they a good company to work for.
Thanks
RE: company
Searched archives for Breitner and came up with: Documents 1-50 of 74 displayed; i.e., a total of 74 posts, albeit, dated 2004 for the most part.
only company that has not been
trashed on here. I am just VERY unhappy with my current company.
