I have only worked in one version of Meditech, Meditech Magic, and it is easy to use. There are other versions, though. I'm sure they are easy also.
Just make sure you get a list of what the function keys do in your version.

{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
I used PC Shorthand with Meditech. You
can download a 30-day free trial and if you are gointgto work at KS they can give you a key so you don't have to pay for it.
I'm just assuming you may be going to KS as they have lots of rad accounts and use Meditech.
Meditech and shorthand
I'm not sure what version 5.6 is,but we recently upgraded our Meditech system and ShortHand works like a charm. Before I went to work here, I wrote the meditech people and asked them if it would work and they assured me it would. Meditech is as awful as you've heard BUT my hospital pays handsomely, so all the aggravation is worth it. But I couldn't do it without Shorthand. Don't know about IT, but I've heard it works also. I'm on a VPN too.
? for anyone who works on Meditech Magic.
I'm starting a new account on Meditech. I've never worked on it. I haven't been through training, but after looking at the manual I have to say - UGH.
I've heard MTs who love it and many who say it is terrible. Can you give me some feedback, likes, dislikes, etc.
Are you able to make your lines in an 8-hour day? Does it have its own spellchecker or can you use Stedman's?
Need an expander that works with Meditech system
I have tried some free downloads of a couple of programs but had problems with them. Had to turn them off and on when I went to different screens or different aspects in Meditech. I do Radiology and basic 4 with access to Meditech Expander which is only good for long repetitive phrases and I often go into the medical charts to look up medicines, etc. This poses a problem with some Expanders as I enter codes to get to the different screens. Please help!
Instant Text also works with Meditech
xx
Instant Text works with Meditech..no need
to download anything as IT links to it. IMO, Instant Text is the best Expander on the market, much more flexible than anything else.
I use IT and love it. It works with Meditech, which is my client's application.
No other text Expander could/can link with Meditech.
Instant Text works with Meditech and most any other program.

Shorthand works.
email me if you need any more info
ShortHand works just like that. $100. And you can try it out first.

Shorthand works wonderfully with DQS

Shorthand, I believe works in all Windows
programs. It works in my email, etc. so should work in Works also
I use Shorthand. It works great in there. sm
The Scribe platform is easy to use once you are used to it. My lines have doubled in the past two months. I use Shorthand for EVERYTHING.
Go to www.pcShorthand.com. There is a trial version.
Shorthand is by far the best expander and works with everything. nm

ShortHand is up to version 9, at least, now, as it's what I have. Maybe v.10 is in the works?? nm

Shorthand works with Mysis
Haven't tried any others but I use SH with it.
Shorthand works everywhere in Windows.
Can't speak for that platform specifically... but ShortHand for Windows works everywhere, including e-mail, instant messaging, and every other place that you type. They even have a 30-day free trial so you can download and test it out before laying out the $$.
Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm

FlashType works just like ShortHand except is cheaper.

Use ExText for 1 job. Love it! Works with my ShortHand. Wish they all used it! nm

MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and is $59.95.

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Shorthand works great with DQS and is half the price

Try FlashType, it works just like Shorthand but is half the price.
see link below
It is an older DOS-type environment - works well with Shorthand. sm
Lots of menus, especially in radiology, but ShortHand helps you get through them very quickly is you write macros to just stop where you need to.
It can be very productive with good line counts if you are paid by the line.
Personally, I loved it, but that was because I did very well with our incentive program on it.
MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and costs less.
It also works on Vista. See link below.
FlashType works much like Shorthand, is cheaper, & significantly increases your

I use Shorthand for Windows and love it. I have found it works well with most every program. SM
I have used with Word and Word Perfect. I have used it with Meditech and Cerner. I have used it with RadNet and StarNavigator for Radiology. I can use it with my email applications and on the internet if I choose. If the Expander is open and running, you can use it with any and every window program you use.
I was really simple to learn to use too. Very user friendly.
FlashType is cheaper and works equally as well as Shorthand and has a free demo.

You should not be having that problem, Shorthand works "ouside any program." Contact Shorthan

You can download Shorthand, choose the "capitalize first letter" option. SH works with ExText

Shorthand works for Radnet. I love Radnet BTW! nm

You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.

Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for
i did use shorthand once in a job but i was so nervous the "boss" took pity and dictated the report on dictaphone.
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
If it is Shorthand, save the SPF file to a disk, then if you buy Shorthand yourself....
you can just drop the SPF file into it. That is not dishonest since you are the one who put the macros in. I am sure is it is another Expander there is a way to save the macro file and then drop it in the expander you buy on your own.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

Meditech
Has anyone ever used a word Expander with Meditech? I understand that there are several different versions of this program and we use it for Radiology. We have V. 3.25. I was specifically thinking about ShortKeys? Any input would be appreciated.
Meditech
Has anyone ever used Meditech? Is it user-friendly? Fast? Thanks for any info you can give me.
MediTech
No to all of the above questions.
Meditech
Hello ladies. Can any of you give me referral for the name of a good medical transcription service company to work for? I've been with Spheris for almost 3 years and am looking. I've been requesting to change from an intimidating and threatening supervisor for months, and it hasn't happened. MANY PEOPLE are leaving Spheris. I'm just wondering -- can anyone give me the name of a NICE COMPANY to work for??
Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
Meditech
User-friendly? LOL. Shorthand helps.
Meditech?!))!!**
I hate it! Been working through Meditech. A huge hospital account and it's constantly going slow, booting you offline. And, it's been like this for years. They are losing a load of MT's because of it. It's okay for the hospital users, labs, docs, etc. NOT for transcriptionists. You need a dedicated line, not a system that serves a metropolis!
Does anyone use Meditech here?
I work for a hospital and I am forced to use Meditech. There is nothing to help a Transcriptionist except for autocorrect. The F11 key is diabled as well as macros. Any one else experience this problem, and how did you get around it.
Going crazy without my tools. I can't stand not being able to F11 to my next stop, let alone make templates, etc. Autocorrect on this computer is terrible as well. It will only take words in a line, not a paragraph, for example. Sheesh.. Any advice???
