Meditech - Enter key will not work. Help!! sm

Posted By: scratching my head! on 2008-05-29
In Reply to:

My enter key will not work with Meditech.  I have changed out keyboards, tried wireless, wired, et cetera.  I have had someone log in with my password and it works for them.  I have logged in with other passwords and it will not work.  Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

Does Meditech work with
I am not sure what version of Meditech, but I connect to a VPN/Citrix to get to it and type in word that is on the system. Another one I can't use Smartype with *sigh*, just really not liking ShortHand and I'm afraid I will be stuck with it!
Can someone tell me kinda what it's like to work on Meditech? nm

Does Smartype work with Meditech?

Does anyone know if Smartype will work with Meditech??


Does Flashtype work in all Meditech versions?
nm
There is no guarantee that FlashType will work in Meditech although
it works in most Windows environments.  It does work in many platforms and all stand alone word processors, email programs, instant messengers.
I work in Meditech and love it. Like anything else, you have to get used to it. There are two vers
is awesome. The other is OK but it depends on the hospital. I worked at home for a hospital that used it and it was slow. I work for a service now that uses it and there is no lag time at all. It is radiology, so that might make a difference, not sure.
Spellcheck is shift F9 in Meditech. SH should work also. nm

MEDITECH Version 5.61 Spellchecker work?

RAD MT new to Meditech Version 5.61 doing radiology - anyone know how to activate spellchecker?? Any infor appreciated.

Thanks.


Does satellite internet work to type into Meditech?

I can't get cable or DSL, and wonder if satellite will work.


I work in Meditech for a radiology account and have no lag time. sm
There are a few things to try that might help. The first is to try to go through an NT connection if possible through their Citrix. Another is: Disable your virus protection, log in and re-enable the virus protection. I have found this solved my problem.

I am also answering your cut and paste question from your other post: It is HIPPA as the possibility of putting the wrong report on the wrong patient exists. However, I would go above or beyond your company's IS dept (they tend to be the most paranoid) and go to a production person such a Lead or Coordinator or even MTSO. If they are MTs, they tend to be more sympathetic and will often allow cut and paste when IS will not. If you are the only person experiencing this, IS is not going to be too diligent in helping. Worst case scenario? Ask for another account. Sometimes it is an account-specific, computer-specific problem, almost like putting the wrong size tape in a tape player.
Will Meditech work with cable based phone?

Hi all,


I have been offered a MT job with another company that requires me to call into the hospital's Meditech system.  I have never worked on Meditech so I don't have the slightest idea how to use it.  I am used to signing onto my computer and getting right into the system, not having to dial in anywhere.  I'm sure I would get used to it but my phone may be the problem.  I have my phone bundled in with my cable/high speed internet through Time Warner and the MTSO thinks this won't work, that I need something like Fair Point as a dedicated phone line.  Does anyone out there in MT land know anything about this?  The MTSO is anxious to hire and I'm anxious to start a job where I can finally make $ again and I don't want to miss out on this all because of the wrong phone!


I used to work for a hospital that used Meditech and we found the line counts to be inconsistent. SM

I used to be a supervisor and was trying to find a way to monitor productivity on Meditech and found that line counts fluctuated greatly!  I did all kinds of comparisons - typed reports in word and counted the lines in word with MP Count and then compared it with Meditech and there was sometimes near a 200 line discrepancy at the end of the day.  Then we found that running a line count twice in Meditech on the same MT and same reports would get us two different numbers with about 20 lines difference.


Meditech is just not MT friendly, but unfortunately MTs are at the bottom of the list of considerations when choosing an EMR system.  I gave up and started keeping track of minutes of dictation.


AND - QA could not enter! Gee, thanks MQ.

How do you enter to win?
And where do we see the prizes?  Thanks
i enter the first 4 letters...sm
Every time I come to a drug I enter the first four letters of the drug in Autocorrect, capping it if needed.  I think this is quicker than sitting down and entering a bunch at once. 
You can only enter one time
for each giveaway, but if you have already won a prize you cannot enter anymore. That is what that means. You can absolutely enter for each prize, but in order for others to have a chance to win, you shouldn't enter if you have already won.
had to manually enter the big
anything that you save as a (I think it's called) SmartBlock (saves directly into a Word document), you have to move manually.  I only had about 20-30 of those, so I just did a cut and paste from the Word document directly into Shorthand.  I had to change some of the commands (like how to bold or indent).  You actually have to set those commands manually in Shorthand.  It's a bit confusing on those issues at first, but once you catch on to it, you can do, say, 5 a day, and it won't take too long.
That is what I was thinking, enter those
into autocorrect and you will never do it wrong again. I have a lot of words in there that are mistakes I usually make and it just corrects it for me. Good luck!
anyone know how to enter an entry for
-year-old where I don't have to backspace the expansion?
You don't have to hit the enter key for ths to happen.
It sounds like you highlighted the phrase and you also captured the end of paragraph mark (that was probably hidden), which will make the entry go down a line. Do it again and make sure you are only highlighting the words.
Ctrl+Enter

enter conjunctivomullerectomy in google and only one-sm
pops up, did not read it all but did mention ptosis. Hopes this helps.
Does anyone how to enter a new word into shorthand sm

without using the mouse?  I clicked on


add new entry  (still trying to figure out what the 'key' is that opens this so I don't have to use the mouse)


keyword/text to type/ and then there is an okay butten.  I am use to doing this same operation in autocorrect but without using the mouse (where i use the tab and enter key once I program it.) .  The O on the okay button is underlined but I can't seem to use the alt/o to have the program OKAY my new entry.  I am trying to read this help guide and I am really struggling.  I wish someone could write instructions that weren't in computer languange.  sigh.  Thanks once again

For those that use Vianeta, do you have to manually enter
all that info or is it imported?   Don't know how you'd make any money if you had to enter it all manually.  Reminds me of the antiquated YOG cottage program. 
For those who own hot tubs/jacuzzis.....please enter :)

Does anyone own a hot tub that they are crazy about and that didn't cost them an arm and a leg?  Any leads, ideas, references would be most appreciated :)


Thanks in advance!


My main reasons for looking to enter any job are:
First the ability to care for my family, which would mean money. Second, the ability to schedule around my children’s' needs.

But...I do like caring for people. I actually thrive in environments that are stressful and that I have to be on my toes. The drawback to nursing for me is the idea that someone's life is in my hands and that I could make a potentially fatal mistake.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying by not hitting enter twice...Ty for your help! nm

Autocorrect can't do that -- you'd have to enter it both ways.
xx
I think that is what she is saying enter it into autocorrect uncapped..sm
and capped in the change to box. Then autocorrect will change it in a document.

FYI


trying to re-enter society and failing miserably
After 11 years at home minding my own business, having a fairly peaceful life, seeing people when I wanted to, not because I had to, i've become quite spoiled.  I find that when i'm around new people, (trying to go to school) i'm easily annoyed and have no sense of humor like I used to.  I've completely changed.  I feel like a stick in the mud judgemental person, but people laughing annoys me and makes me tighten up rather than join in like I used to.  I can't stay in my MT hole forever, but I feel like cousin IT amongst society now.  Will this get better???  I miss my old self!  I used to be FUN!
