Should help.
If they pay by character, they pay for numbers. Numbers are characters, silly.

Scan it in.

Copy the pic.  When you go into word, just view "header/footer" and paste in the pic.  This has worked for me. 


do paragraph, then scan over it
I listen as I go along also.  It really gets to be quite easy.  To reread the report definitely would cost money.  I do a paragraph or so and as the doctor is shuffling papers or gathering his thoughts, not really dictating, I scan down the paragraph to make sure it is okay.
chalasia scan
achalasia cardia scan for gastroesophageal reflux disorder
Just run a scan of the C drive with the AVG - sm
it will scan everything and let you know if it finds anything. It automatically quantines them I believe so you should have any any problams in any case.
executive body scan???
Could this be correct?  Outcoming being discovery of gallstones.
try googling "achalasia scan." nm
??
it's true...go to MSNBC.COM and scan down. :-( nm

Please help with PET scan on Word Board
xx
Scan through and hopefully catch mistakes as I go. sm
That don't pay me enough this day and time to proof every single word I type. Take our wages minus IC expenses and we aren't making much. I look at it like you pay for what you get sometimes. Now that isn't to say I don't care about quality as I do. I just proof as I go and try my best to catch it and be accurate but I do have 15 yrs exp and can usually tell immediately if I have made a typo. I may get a he or she mixed up here and there but no major errors in the report.
You have dragon scan your documents and -
it picks up words it does not know and has you train them, and it also recognizes words that you use more than others.
AVG free virus scan

try an off-site, online scan
Go to www.bitdefender.com and use their online scanning. It is very good. If you've got anything, it will get rid of it. Highly recommended.
How to bill for HIDA scan?

I know HIDA scans are nuke med but would they fall into the category of CT/MRI/PET or US/DEXA for billing purposes?


I say CT/MRI/PET but please correct me if I'm wrong.


Has anyone ever heard of or has had a chalasia scan for GERD? sm

My 4 y/o daughter is scheduled to have this done tomorrow AM. I have tried to Google it, but not getting much info on it. She was at a specialist today and they scheduled her to go to the Childrens Hosp for a Chalasia scan, which is also referred to as a gastroesophogeal reflux scan. Any info would be much appreciated. thanks


maybe it's time for a scan disk and defrag....sm
First, I'd do a scan disk and then defragmentation and then reboot the computer.  If it's still freezing, perhaps you are running out of space (?) and/or need more RAM (memory) which is cheap to buy today.  Also, while you ran a virus scan - do you have a program similar to spybot?  They pick up things that sometimes get past your virus scanner.  Hope it works out for you! 
I do a restart every morning after I run spyware scan.
:P
I do the same thing. Then when the report is finished, I scan back through
the whole report to make sure I didn't leave any stop code markers behind, and listen to each blank once again.
First I'd reboot and if that didn't work run a virus scan. nm
 
Please run your virus scan - got 4 threats detected from going on this site. nm
nm
not a virus, a glitch. if you run a scan regularly, you would see no festations. NM

Norton 360 was installed, I did a full scan, and it found nothing...MUST SM
I downloaded Malwarebytes and it found 12 critical trojans!! As soon as I find a good AV program, I'm totally uninstalling Norton's. Like you, I thought Norton was great and used it for years. Maybe it's just not keeping up with all the techno-creeps out there that have nothing better to do destroy the PCs of working people. UGH!!


Sheesh. Lighten up. It WAS funny. You don't scan the enitre report, or whatever! It was amusing i

Actually, you don't have to answer that...


Try achalasia scan, not a chalasia. Easy one to miss. good luck. nm

Numbers
I've been doing this for 20 years and never saw it done that way. It's grade 3/6. You are correct.
My numbers came from the US
O'Reilly get his stats?
800 numbers
I was told by the company I worked for that 800 numbers were very expensive.  They let us use them for awhile, and then they cancelled them.  All the unlimited plans I checked on said up front that medical transcription would not be allowed. I was afraid to just try anyway.
Numbers
I still spell out numbers 1-9 as ex, There are three sutures .... - as a rule of thumb and know what the big bad BOS says but I think this is safer than just pulling one little ole' nunber there by itself and spelling out is easier understood with no mistakes Untill my compnay tells me no I will continue to do this. I worry more about how it is going to be read back (missreading an 8 for a 6 or even a 6 for a 5 according to the font on the printer
The numbers....
Seeing Bush's numbers - ratings - dip down to the teens......That must be what it takes to get this country out of the shower - pryed from the sofa glued to American Idol and the likes, and do something about this lunatic we have for president.... 
The last numbers I saw
I believe I saw a report about a year ago about this. Early projections had predicted the savings would be 70%, but the reality is more like 17%, according to that report. It talked about all the people that have to edit the reports before they are client ready, so the work can't be as fast as they originally forcasted either, right? So what if it's done in the middle of the night if 4 people have to comb through each report before it's ready to go to client. I'm with you. A lot of time and effort has been invested in this "great idea," and I'm sure they think it's going to get better. But come on, are these edits all being sent back to the transcriptionists so they can even learn from their mistakes?
Numbers...
30,000 to 40,000. Sometimes people misread hyphens in between numbers or around numbers when reading a document, so I always put "to."
numbers
Ditto Janet. It changed a few years back and took me forever to get my fingers moving to that top row on the keyboard! Some clients even want you to start the sentence with a number if dictated (10-year-old female). I find that very hard to do!
And run their numbers together
medicalrecordaccessiondatetime
I don't have numbers in there, it is the
same amount of keystrokes. For years I have 40y, 30y, etc. For words with different endings, I use the root word with the ending:

tr - treat
trs - treats
trd - treated
trm - treatment
trg - treating

For headings I put an H in front of the abbreviation -

Hneck - NECK:
hgi - GASTROENTESTINAL:
hhpi - HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:

And, for departments I use

err - emergency room
err1 - Emergency Room.

I also have in words I constantly misspell.
Numbers
How do I copy a numbered list in Word.  Such as a diagnosis list...cannot get the numbers to copy.  TIA
numbers
I just started a job with a new company that does a lot of things 'old school,' but what I love the most is that I can type numbers the way I was taught 'back in the day.' 
numbers
This is something that really burns me up !!! When I went to school, number 1 through 9 were to be typed out as a word, anything above 9 to the typed as a number.... I don't know where these people have decided on a whim to change everything we have ever learned in our lifetime.... BOS is just something for ADHI to make money... If they keep changing the rules - what do you know, more money for them........ Don't get me started.
numbers
Whoops - I guess you know who I am and it doesn't matter....... thanks. We all have a right to our opinion.

qa and numbers
Hi Patti.  I understand wholeheartedly.  Where I worked (QA) WE got blasted if we didn't correct stupid stuff like that (six/6, etc), thus leaving us in somewhat of catch 22.  We were damned (by the MTs) if we did change it, but damned by auditing if we didn't.  I am so glad I am out of that environment.  It was just so toxic. 
Okay, SM, when you get those numbers up, let me know.
In this economy and with so many people having low work volumes, I doubt you are going to find many MTs who are going to be willing to go without pay for a couple of days, much less a month!!  You are also going to find that many MTs are still happy with their jobs and would refuse to do something like this to a company who treats them so well.  They simply do not post on these boards because they are busy working.  Who is going to organize this?  You are talking about nationwide.  Any figures you may have certainly are not going to be reliable - they are given over the internet for goodness sake.  Bottom line, just think about it before you participate in something like this (unless of course you have nothing to lose).

Have you done spyware scans, defrag, virus scan and reboot? All of these help me. Run spyware
:P
Hitting the numbers
I have to agree with Busy MT, Anon, and Endiqua. It doesn't matter how you arrive at verbatim as long as it is verbatim. I have a verbatim account typing op reports. I have set up a file with each doctor's name and a sample report, e.g., Dr. Smith, lap chole, appy, hernia repair. When Dr. Smith dictates, I cut and paste whatever procedure he is dictating into a new document and make any changes as he dictates. As someone said most doctors use the same phraseology in each report, making only minor changes during. For example, 5-0 nylon, instead of 5-0 nylon sutures. Just take out and add in without straight typing every single word. It's still verbatim. Using this system, my usual count is about 300-350 lph. I also use my expander extensively.
PHONE NUMBERS
You should be able to find the numbers at medquist.com or QNET, or send an email to medquistbenefits@medquist.com they are usally good about getting back to you.
So how do you explain the numbers
or did you read even the excerpt? I also recommend listening to The Interview on the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/the_interview.shtml
Mr. Wright was talking about capitalism run amock with no regard to the world we are leaving our children and grandchildren. He mentioned that the ratio between a worker "on the floor" and a CEO 25 years ago was about 1:30 and now it is 1:1000.

You may call it a Band-Aid, but programs such as Headstart (it is IMPERATIVE to do as much as early as possible) etc., grants for community colleges (which Bush also cut) have helped a great deal. I would certainly prefer to have my tax dollars spent on these programs rather than helping bimbos like Paris Hilton buy another toy.

Would you please explain how widening the gap between the very rich and the very poor and squeezing the middle class in the process is in this country's or the world's best interest?


I think the standard now is use numbers (6)
...
yep!! VERY strong in numbers!!! nm

Hyphenation of numbers, etc
Thanks for your answers re the 32-year-old male, etc. I have always been very good at English and have done this for over 30+ years but never really typed it this way for the group I worked for. I want to "keep up-to-date."!!!
Numbers, groan!
Within the same company if I use numerals in things such as 3-year-old female, I get feedback that it should be spelled out; when I spell it out, the next QA tells me that it should be numerals...

I just wander through work and life in a state of perpetual confusion (my home state).
It all works out the same when you do the numbers - sm
on paper. My pay day is the 8 and 23; used to be 7 and 22 but they have taken to mailing the checks out a day later now--it's the same amount of time between checks just 1 day later than I was used to, only takes a day to get to me in the mail though so not a big deal. You need to manage your money so you have breathing room in case a check is later than normal or gets lost in mail (it does happen). I always try to keep a cushion so I don't have that problem, though that is not aways possible as I am sure you know.
