Do not some MTers already use the EMR just by transcribing- I thought our group did or are they only talking about looking at the screen and hitting a certain number, diagnosis? When you say EMR does that mean what the assistant in a doctor's office does when you sit being interviewed before seeing the PCP? Someone fill me in on this. Thanks.

You don’t have a clue as to what this job entails
Your last sentence is just loco. You don’t know how this works, probably have not had 1 bit of work relating to this field and I agree with the 30_ and fed up. This is not a job for women who "just want to work from home to be with their children", crappy reason to do anyway. Your last sentence really says it all, better than relying on the government to do this job. You have to first know what you are doing which you don’t and secondly yes transcriptionists are held to a high standard (don’t think you have that to start) and no one cleans up your work but looks like you would be a great place to start if they did.
To me, it doesn't matter what anything "think" this job entails, but
what I "know" it all entails. You could be a street sweeper, but if you respect yourself, then you are doing the most important job in the world. I believe I am doing an important work - I sometimes think of the nurses and docs who read my consultations I transcribed and the words that will help them to help treat an ill patient.
I don't care if they label me a data entry clerk (although I've never heard that before), because I know the work we do IS very important.
