I actually need advice on two matters:

1.  My doctor's office received a file that is too big to send by email - and I only have dial up, so even worse.  They are planning to send this to me by USB flashdrive.  I need advice on how to work with this when it comes.  How will I get it into Express Scribe so that the foot pedal will work?

2.  I am starting my planning to set up my laptop for traveling.  I have a desk PC now and will be using both, depending upon where I am at.  What do I need to do to get Express Scribe, etc. to accommodate this.  Any details are greatly appreciated. 

TIA

ask then via email, if they would mind sharing what is the lowest to the highest line rate offered, prior to test taking, resume and interview as this will save valuable time on both sides.   This is what I do, won't continue to waste my time (takes a lot of time) and end up with some ridiculous offer.  NOPE.

A few months ago, without knowing I was being hired to voice recognition until after the fact, was offered 5.7 for voice recognition and 9 for straight typing.  Of course, there was only a dribble of regular MTing, , so it averaged out making 6.7 cents a line.   It comes in as combo into the platform so 90+ was voice recognition and is broken down on the line count log.

So say had a total of 200 lines - and 90 percent (80 lines) was VR at 5.7 cents a line.= $4.56.   I bet some get even less VR rate too..

That leaves 20 percent (20 lines)  at 9 cent a line= $1.80. 

(get about a third of what you could get making no less than say 8.5/line) They want to dump the stuff into a computer to see how it reads it and you unscramble, need to put in the account specifics, it does not recognize beginning and ending of sentences correctly.  Ugh

Say you made at LEAST 8.5 a line somewhere for 200 lines= $17.00 and deserve more for sure,  One is reconstructing the ENTIRE report, could type it faster and it was exhausting (arms and shoulders, wrists, rwith all the extra key strokes to do it and of course not paid for this part.  Just an inexpensive way for them to unscramble the junk, insist on 98+ accuracy, so and so line count.  NOT ME .

the healthcare provider , i.e. the doc, establishes the standards for protecting privacy of records. You (or your service) is the Business Associate who COMPLIES with whatever standards the doctor sets. Some docs send files by email, some want encryption. Hospitals, obviously, generally do more locking down on their stuff, as they are more open to lawsuits. All YOU have to do to be HIPAA compliant is to COMPLY witih the standards the doc sets. It is not up to you to set them. Also what you and everyone else forgets about HIPAA is it is a two part process. Not only does the patient's medical records have to be disclosed BUT the patient must also suffer a loss because of the disclosure. So even if your doc stands out on the street and tells passers-by about Mrs. So and So and her athlete's foot, unless she incurs a loss from that, it's not a HIPAA violation. Remember this whole thing came about because a pharmacy tech went home and told her high school son that another classmate's father was coming in for HIV drugs...get the picture? Something private was disclosed inappropriately and that's how the girl found out her father was HIV positive.

detailing how disgusted you are with the fact that they are promoting offshore training and offshoring transcription.  This is the third article on this sort of topic that the magazine has done in a year. 

I find this particularly offensive because so many hospitals/medical record departments get the magazine and if they see this, then companies like Spheris, CBay, Healthscribe, and others will be getting called to come do their transcription!

So please, don't cancel your subscription, just voice your opinion and comments.  Thank you.

e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.

I'm in Corpus.

There should be a reply by email option.  I don't see it for you, but if you want to email me you can.

They'll have to supply a computer for me and if it is because of this restriction, then it will have to be free to me.  This company monitors this board very closely also so I'm glad to see the responses here.   I don't  keep my email on my hard drive anyway. I keep my email on my email server and not on my hard drive.  I wonder if I would be required to give them my personal log in information to my email server?

Hmm, this should be interesting.

I, by accident, posted the wrong email address.  It ought to be (e-mail address edited out of post), so if you could resend it, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks
