Seeking information
Could anyone tell me anything about MDI on their Meditech Radiology Accounts? I would like to hear from anyone who is currently or have been previously employed with this company.  Specifically concerning their line counting, is this calculated by Meditech or some other method?  How accurate do you feel their method is and if you could maybe give me an average estimate on daily line counts you have experienced.  Also anything you can tell me about the work flow for the weekends.  Does it easily run out?  Any information would be appreciated.  Thank you.
Exactly what I was seeking
Yes, this the kind of advice I was seeking. Thank you!!!
I'm seeking out a second job...
Right now. I don't mind helping a company meet their goals and deadlines, as long as they help me meet my goals and deadlines by giving me enough work to make enough to live on.

Hopefully it won't come down to me having to seek out a 3RD job.
I was seeking a response
from someone other than my TL because she makes me feel I'm bothering her.  In general, what is the role of a team leader?
Seeking my own account
If anyone has an account in the Atlanta, GA area that they'd like to pass on or know of a doc who is looking for a reliable Transcriptionist (work from home), please email me.
DESPERATELY SEEKING .WAV

seeking work
I need some advice on applying for jobs.  I have 8 years acute experience but have never worked for an online company.  I have my own computer, and am willing to add any programs, buy the books, whatever.  I am fairly firm about not working Sundays or graveyard, but all the rest of the week is fine.  I want to quit this in-house job and go home.  I have applied to 6 companies;  one likes me but said they have no work which I am taking as a nice brush-off - I aced everything - I aced all the written tests, flunked the first company's transcription test, but now I  either don't get that far or I pass the trans test.  I am knocking myself out, leaving this in-house job nightly and spending at leats 2 more hours on the compuer applying.  What is it?  ARe there any tips?  Is it that I've never worked from home?  Please help me just a little if you can. I'm losing my self-confidence. 
Seeking good company

Anyone have any info on Eight Crossings, Inc, or Sierra Medscribe?


Or know any services that will either accept MTs with dial-up, or help pay for satellite?

to the person seeking J from RX Transcription
email me. I used to work with J too and I live in the town next to her. I can help you get in touch.
new here/wanting to leave MQ/seeking a better place!
That's right, MQ has finally really, really gotten to me after eight long years!  I have told and told and told myself that it's okay there are major lawsuits against the company that imply terrible wrongdoing, it is okay that MQ seems to change CEOs every few months, it is okay that I haven't had a raise in two years, it is okay that I do a brilliant job without anyone caring... and finally, finally, it is just not okay.  I am talking to Medware who apparently won Employer of the Year in 2002 and 2005.  Can I get a witness?  Anybody work for them?  What about Spheris?  Flexibility of schedule is utterly crucial to me, and I have to have benefits, so no IC work.  Where can I go where they'll appreciate me?  I'm a former high school English teacher with 15 years as an MT (8 in acute care) and some QA experience.  Help???
Seeking home-based MT job from Canada!!!

Hello, I am seeking a full-time MT job from home (in Canada). I want to work for a great company that pays well. I also want my computer and all required supplies paid by the company. I will pay for high speed internet!! Where I reside, we have fibreoptic telephone lines - therefore it is the best place to do medical transcription, the quickest speed of voice data and the clearest in north america!! We also rarely have storms here! I live in New Brunswick, 1 hour for calais, Maine.


I have 5+ years of experience and I am also a coder trained in Toronto. HOpe to hear from you soon. Thanks!

Desperately seeking psych trans job from home
Does anyone know of any companies who are in need of transcriptionists for psych? I am available immediately. Please reply asap!
I agree. Sounds like a controlling attention-seeking parent so
x
Thank you. I appreciate the information ...
sounds like a way to reward those whose production and quality are at the top.

Thanks.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
but, with a much better company and I smell management. Take that and smoke it.
Perhaps this information might help:
If you would post a clear statement of the change that is happening and what its expected results will be BEFORE you make such changes, then it wouldn't be viewed so suspiciously.
rec'd no such information
and my count has been 'below production' different times and my benefits didn't change. My supe told me way back when that only if a person "consistently" didn't make production would it affect their benefits.
Where did you get your information? nm.
nm.
information
i mentioned something to my supervisor a couple of weeks ago that I "heard" that MQ was offering extra on the line rates to new hires, which upset me, and of course, her response was you can't trust what you hear or see and I know that, but it seems like what i'm seeing on this website seems to be more reliable in some respects than what i get from MQ and like you said, that's really sad. I'm not signed up for IPay so i can't check to see if there's anything there -- guess i could check my bank to see if there's more there.
For your information,
I am not at all overweight. I would really like to know why someone who is as beautiful as you say you are is a transcriptionist?
Information (SM)
If you want to know why your posts are deleted, leave a valid e-mail address. I e-mail the poster why and a copy of their deleted post.

It is not because you have "MQ" in your moniker as a name. Otherwise, take this gripe over your posts being removed to e-mail or it will be deleted.
Don't know where you got your information-
Although a CMA is definitely not a PA, I do not know anywhere you get get what you need in 4-6 weeks.  I took the CMA exam after years working in a physician's office, but the programs that I know about in this area are 1-2 years.
Any information on this anyone?

My husband came home from work hearing about something called EDTA (Ethylene~Diamine~Tetra-acetic~Acid).  It is suppose to break down the minerals and heavy metals out of your body and make your risk of heart disease a lot lower.  Does anyone have an information on this.  He would like to take it if it true because of heart disease in his family, although I am not certain he should, as I always worry about the things they don't tell you about the stuff your taking.   


Any information would be great.


Thanks!!


Thanks for the information!!!

Thanks to all for the information.

Thanks for the information.

Thanks so much for the information...sm
Final question - I checked out the website that you told me about and that explains it all.  One final question - do you have connection problems with this and I guess one more question, and the true final question is the quality of the voice good on the file?  Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate the information. nm
nm
Thanks everyone! I appreciate the information
Thanks to all of you for the helpful information!
Thanks for that information

That is very interesting about the files not being there at all. May be I am not getting the files downloaded correctly.    Thanks so much for your help!


Thanks so much for the information!!
:)
where does that information come from?
please give links. I found nothing to substantiate that on my search
Thanks, that is quite useful information, but
you do not continue to believe that air conditioning will kill mold . . . it will not, and nowhere in the document you linked to does it even suggest that. It does provide information about air conditioning lowering the relative humidity of a home, and also that it aids in drying out wet areas (because it lowers the relative humidity).

You are not only misinformed, but also are misinforming others by posting segments of the document that are not connected in any other way than being a part of the same document.

For anyone who is interested, and perhaps does not want to go to the link or read the full text, this is what it actually says.

PREVENTING MOLD GROWTH (begins on page 2)

Page 3, paragraphs 4 and 5

Increase the air flow in problem areas. Move furniture
a few inches away from outside walls so that air
flow will decrease the problem of condensation on
the walls.

If mold is growing in closets, keep closet doors
open to promote air flow. Closets should not be overfilled,as this will reduce air circulation in the closet. Louvered closet doors aid in ventilation. Circulating fans may help with air flow in problem areas.


STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING OR
REMOVING MOLD GROWTH AFTER CONTAMINATION (begins on page 3)


Page 4, paragraph 3


For many hard surfaces, disinfecting with a solution
of one cup of bleach to one gallon of water is effective.
The area must be kept wet with the bleach for 10 to 15
minutes to kill the mold. If the surface is porous like
wood, the bleach solution may need to be reapplied to
keep the surface wet for the required time. If large areas
of a basement need to be disinfected, a garden sprayer
can be used to apply the bleach solution to the walls. If the walls have been contaminated with sewage, increase the proportion of bleach to water.

MT Information
Hello, I am looking to start working as an MT in order to enable me to homeschool.  Can you please share any tips, job openings etc?? I would really appreciate it.  I am newly relocated to Lawrenceville GA from NJ.  Thanks!!
Need som information..

I would like to start doing things in my own area, get my accounts, etc.  I just do not know where to start.  Do I type up an "introductory" letter and send them to doc offices?  What kind of equipment is the easiest to do this "internet based?"  I have A LOT of questions.  If someone could email me, I would really appreciate it!! 


 


Thanks 


More information....SM

I don't mean a financial deduction.  I'm just trying to figure out a percentage score.  Here's the details.


The document is 40,178 characters.


There were two critical errors (word left out and wrong dose) and seven noncritical errors (like his instead of has, a instead of an, etc.)


How could I figure a percentage?


thank you for this information
I have been struggling with this decision and your info makes it easier for me to stick with XP. Why mess with a good thing?
Too much information
The doctor just dictated the patient became pregnant on her wedding night.  Not something I really needed to know.  LOL.
Where did this information come from?? nm

More information.

This program can be set to automatically download files from FTP sites or folders on the computer's hard drive; it's just that you have to do it manually, whereas some of the "more automated programs" came with these things already set up. I use ES for all transcription playback and haven't needed the pricer automation.


As with most opinions, they are subjective, but happy for the discourse.


Just for your information....
There was no lack of willingness to fill anybody in about anything. I was going to tell her everything from top to bottom about the account, what I was looking for and find out what she was looking for so as to make a perfect fit. She was not "signing her life away" either. I am only looking for 2-3 hours per day and the time you complete the work is totally up to you. As far as being miserable to work for, I haven't had anyone work for me before because I have been the only person in my business, doing hospital account along with IC positions. I don't have to offer more cpl to get anyone to work for me. In fact, I could just keep all of it for myself, but because I try to keep my clients happy I am needing to get another person on-board so as to keep TAT within reason. As far as I'm concerned this discussion can be locked. I can't believe the hateful and bitchy remarks made to a totally innocent inquiry. As I haven't had to go through the hiring process before, I was wondering if this was the norm, that you get people like this when you interview. After all of this, I think I will just continue to do all the work myself. There will be less headaches for all involved and more money for me in the long-run. So all of you who had a problem with a simple inquiry, go back to your little holes and be happy. I've got work to do!
Thanks for the information...nm

Exactly where are you getting this information?
LOL - "all other countries?"

Source, please.

Why can't Americans dispense with some of their arrogance and try harder to understand/be understood?

I have NO problem with ESLs in general because they oftern try harder to be understood than American mumblers/speeders.


You have old information.

MT Information
Treasia,
I graduated from a MT course in 06. It was a nine month course and I found it very helpful. I would think with your knowledge you would only need a Med.Term class for refreshers. (Which you probably do not need,but almost everyone wants). I also feel I should mention, which is something that I wish someone would have told me starting off,
MOST PLACES REQUIRE 2 YEARS BEFORE THEY ALLOW YOU TO WORK FROM HOME.

The college I would recommend is Indian Hills Community College, in Ottumwa Iowa. They offer all classes for this program online. They have a great set up and for all the interviews I have been on most of the employers comment on how great the classes were and sometimes they even went above and beyond what was required. Hope this helps and good luck to you.
Thank you for this information -

Thank you so, so much.  This is actually going to help me, too, on another project I am doing on my home computer.  I just happened to read the post.  I went to the website, and it looks like it is perfect!  It works with all window applications. 


All the best -


For your information,

"your" s/b spelled "you're!"


Second of all, I did not complain about every post! There are very supportive and positive people here, and you are NOT one of them! Once again, you are not even addressing the real issues here! If you don't have anything positive to say, then go away! Wow! I think there is less hostility in Iraq right now, than on this board!


Go away negative/unsupportive posters! We don't need you here! Helpful info only welcome!


Information for

becoming an editor. We may be going to powerscribe and I want to get as much education to prepare for this transaction if it takes place. Does anyone have any information or great websites or even books to help me prepare for this?


Any and all information would be great. Thanks
