send list of patient names
what if you added a page with a list of patient's name that were being sent in file. You could just add names to list as you typed each report. Don't think it would take too long, just a copy and paste. At least there would be some documentation of what was being sent in file.
call list

We began getting sales calls again, so my husband went back and resubmitted the information. We haven't gotten any since. It might be something you have to do annually. I don't know. It can't hurt to try though.


Are you on the Do Not Call LIst? sm
not saying this is the case, but a lot of times these calls are initiated by a computer.  the computer calls, you answer, but there's no operator on the computer end to finish the call.  I signed up for the do not call list when it first came up.  The silence was wonderful.  Then I moved - very irritating indeed!  I'm back on it and back to silence!
I registered on the Do Not Call list a few
years ago, which expires in 2008 (did not know it could expire). What does listing our number as private do? As in, will it keep telemarketers from calling?
Well, being as mine was the 2nd on the list
under the original, I guess I should say the same to you? Mine was just moved down. Got there first....
Add your number to the "Do Not Call" List

Not sure what the link is to get to it but its a national list that is now the law- telemarketers can not call you if your on the Do Not Call list. I'm sure you'll be able to find it if you Google it.


We also have our number listed as "private". I think there is a charge but its very small, under $2 a month (because its considered a "feature")


You can sign up for the national no-call list...sn
Found on google. I signed up both my land line and my cell, and now when calls come they are really for me and not someone I don't want to talk to! It took a bit of time for the process to take effect, but it works great! Good luck to you.
I'll send out letters
I write letters all the time to different government bodies, politicians, school districts, you name it and I'll write. I think this is a wonderful idea. My letters and/or phone calls always get public attention in my area - I have even put in for a presidential pardon for a relative who is in the federal prison system. I've exposed a principal who was abusing special ed kids, problems with taxation in Texas, and many other issues. My motto is - if things aren't being done properly, you can always write a letter. My pen is poised over pad and paper......
Mine also uses an Olympus DS330- they send me the - sm
voice files through "mydocsonline" (which notifies me when anything is uploaded to my account). My docs have me email the work back (encrypted), I could just as easily upload it to my account and have them pick it up that way but they prefer this other method. Any new accounts I may land I will most likely use one of the new models of the Olympus (the DS330 is no longer available). As said below it is basically pretty simple to do and a few different ways to transfer data, another method not mentioned here is getting a FTP site, which is an easy secure way to tranfer data back and forth.
hmmm, I have tons, but I'll list some favorites

pt=patient, hle=hyperlipidemia, hx=history, nd=and, nx=nontoxic, gm=gentleman, wsg=worsening, nt=nontender, fp=followup, fup=followup, otc=OTC, otcc=over-the-counter, gi=GI, gii=gastrointestinal, nvd=No nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.  The list goes on and on!


Those are just a few of many.  I have most brand name meds set up for auto capitalization.  I also have abbreviations for most headings, ie: alg=ALLERGIES:, pexn=PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, soh=SOCIAL HISTORY, laby=LABORATORY:.


I don't know what I would do without my expansions.  I highly recommend them.  Good luck gettin more set up.


They'll send an email out when they need extra work done.
The bonuses are tied to taking on extra work on top of your regular workload, not production or longevity.  It's per extra shift or per extra report on backlogged accounts.  Call and talk to them if you have any questions.
Post ads on MT Chat. Also, you can send a request to M-TEC & they'll
get word out to all their grads that you're looking for help.
Becky, email me and let me know what print it was and I'll send you out another one.

If your trainer is as good as mine, you'll do just
fine.  The auto correct, auto Expander -- very easy to use and easy to access while transcribing so you can add as you go. 
I'll try to help best I can... I had to program mine also for Emdat...

OK, first click on Inscribe and get to the login screen, don't log in though.  Go to options and make sure it is set to "Windows Media".


OK, now go into your foot pedal and click on "Settings"  Go to the "Incoming" tab.  Click on the "add" botton at the bottom.  Then click the "computer Network Folder" and then click the "..." button.  Go into Local disk, Program Files, Emdat, then Inscribe.  Under Inscribe there should be a folder w/ your login name.  Click on that and then click  the "OK" button.  Now the file showing in the box beside " Computer Network Folder"  Should be a program file ending in your login ID. 


Now still in the "Incoming" tab go down where it says "Loading Mode"  Check the Automatic all files, and pick your interval time.  Mine is set on 2 minutes.  Next to that is a box for "File Types"  I have all checked just in case.  Now you click "OK" and it should work.  Took me a while to figure this all out but after messing with it for a few days I found the right things to do. 


Let me know if this made sense of if you need more help.  BTW, who do you work for that has Emdat, if you don't mind telling.

Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.
:
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to

we received our "incentive packet."  They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally.   These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.

I have two IC contracts right now. I recently went back to a job I had quit earlier in the year to work for the other company I am still working for.

The newer job has 80% ESLs. I transcribe OP notes primarily and I can fill in other work types as the opportunity arises. I am frustrated with this particular situation. After 6 months, I am making less money and working longer hours. I am past the learning curve and I should be doing better, at least in the number of hours I am spending doing the job. We have run out of work for 24 hrs at a time at least 5 or 6 times since December 1, and in November it was more than that. I have a friend who worked for this company as well and she was having similar difficulties. The only thing that we can figure is that they are shorting us line count some way, because after 6 months at it, it should be easier/faster/more money, but it is less and less every single pay period. It is not a nice thing to accuse a company of doing, but it SEEMS that way to us. I am fed up with being expected to type every single OP note that comes in 24/7 and meeting the 6 hr TAT for them on weekends, evenings, holidays, wee hours of the morning...

I took back a job I held for 2-1/2 yrs. The team leader has changed and this gal thinks that I should be on call 24/7 for whenever she has work. I might have some at 7 a.m., or perhaps not until 6 p.m. or later. I can't plan my personal life and between these two IC situations, I find that I am not eating on a daily basis, not showering on a daily basis and not sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have lost weight and I don't feel very well. I woke up today with a rip roaring head cold (my first in nearly 8 yrs) and it has already moved to bronchitis and I am expecting pneumonia by the weekend because I develop it very easily. I already have deep pain in my back.

Yes, I should call in sick tomorrow, but I really can't take the fallout. The job I took back I am covering for another gal who wanted vacation over the holidays and if I have to call in sick, the team leader will call me and pitch a fit about how this is my responsibility. It IS my responsibility, I did say I would do it, and I will do it, despite being quite ill. In the past, when I worked for this company, they would not allow me to call in sick for a "cold" without a doctor's note. I worked through many illnesses with them and only called in sick when I developed West Nile Fever and while I was sick for over a month, I only called for my last 12 reports one day when I could no longer see the computer screen because my head hurt.

The problem is that yes, many MTs lack work ethic. They don't take their responsibility seriously. This is not a work as you please career, not even for an IC. I can see the MTSO's point of view, I truly can. Like finding experienced, reliable and capable MTs, for the MTs who are these things, finding a company will treat you like a human being is equally difficult. I sit here, feeling lousy and like I am an utter slave labor with no consideration whatsoever. I know that my work needs to be done, but when I am this sick it is better that someone else do it for the sake of the work, for accuracy and for speed of getting it out. I know that I am needed, but to be the MT these companies need me to be, I also need to look after my own health.

I will also mention that when I have asked for vacation, I have been approved for the time, but the MTSO queues up my work and calls me then I am not on the system getting it done. I have told them I had been approved for time off, but the MTSO didn't schedule anyone to cover for me and I am told to get on work, vacation or no, if I want to keep my job.

Thus, I work 24/7/365 and have for years. I work sick, I work when I am in pain (I have an AI disorder), I work exhausted from staying up all night covering for others who are allowed to call in sick and have vacations when I can't have either. I work having no health insurance and not being able to afford the $125 a month to buy some with a high copay so I can see a doctor. I work without breaks for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I sometimes come close to having an accident because if I leave my desk to go to the little girls' room I get nasty calls about where I am at and what I am doing.

Many MTs are mistreated, and I am one of them.

If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?

not me. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm on the list...sm

his parents are elderly and are quite good at being graciously demanding. As soon as he walks in the door at 4:00 p.m., the phone is ringing wondering when he will be over to shovel the snow off of their walk - and they don't even leave the house. I definitely feel he puts his parents before me. Like the line "I knew it was over when...", when for our 25th anniversary, he gave me a $2.99 bouquet the night before and then planned to go to his mom's for dinner the night of. Not divorced, can't quite get to that but have the same fantasies of running away and boy, then would he be sorry  . Breaks my heart to hear people calling each other soulmates as I believe I will never have that.


It's pn my wish list too,
but the one I tried out in the store had so many hard spots in it, I don't think it would be very comfortable to sit in all day.
