Another Transcription Account Bites The Dust

2010-01-11T07:59:00.000-08:00

I have been working at home as a medical transcriptionist, but has been slow since Thanksgiving and today I was told that the transcription service that I work for has lost the account I typed on. This happens so much in the transcription field. It is so frustrating. You get familiar with an account and then its gone. The company did not even have a back up account for me so I am screwed.

My husband is really not going to be happy with this. He already thinks I am a loser when it comes to making money.

I did get a job offer for a data entry government job at $13 an hour which is great, but the downsides are:
*I will have to be on the road a total of at least 2 hours a day (100 miles) to get to work and back home.
*It is only a temporary job lasting until September.
*My kids will have to get up at 4:30 or 5 am every morning so that I can get them to someone who can get them to school. Is it worth upsetting my kids so that I can make that little amount of money?

Not sure what to do about this situation, but I need to be bringing money home.

How to Make Money When You Chat

2009-10-27T10:40:00.000-07:00

I found this really cool way to make a little extra money replying to chats and discussions. Its at http://alturl.com/q398 and there is no fee to do this. Just join for free and pick a topic and reply to it and make a little money. You will not get rich, but if you are chatting online you might as well get paid for it...Right? Have fun with it. Its sort of a data entry job.

Free ABAB and AAA Phrase Expanding for Medical Transcription Productive Typing

2009-06-15T13:51:00.001-07:00

In medical transcription expanding phrases will make you more money than just expanding words. Expanding words does help a great deal in your line production, but the ABAB and AAA expanding methods are for expanding phrases and this will make you much more productive.

ABAB method is for two word phrases. The "ABAB" is the first two letters of each word. For example:
adca = adhesive capsulitis
lesh = left shoulder

AAA method is for phrases that have more then two words in them. The "AAA" stands for the first letter in each word of the phrase. For example"

tpi = the patient is

t3m = Tylenol 325 mg

tpigtroapb = The patient is going to return on a p.r.n. basis.
$$10 characters expanded to 49$$

OK now here is the exciting part...... "pe" equals the following:

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: General: Well-developed, well-nourished female alert and oriented x 3, comes in in no apparent distress. Left hip wound inspected. Staples removed. The incision is clean, dry, and intact. There are no signs or symptoms of erythema or drainage. Calf is soft and nontender. She is neurovascularly intact. She has +2 DP and PT pulses.

$$$$WOW....Just two characters (pe) expanded out to 362 characters!!!! This is where the money really comes in. $$$$$

Do not forget about every day phrases because they are very commonly spoken in dictation. Phrases like:
hw = he was Hhbh = he had been having

These can really add up and make a huge difference in your line counts.

Focus on phrases as much as possible when typing and you will be very productive!!!

Free ABCZ Word Expanding For Medical Transcription

2009-06-15T13:23:00.000-07:00

I just recently (today) starting really using ABCZ word expanding methods in my transcription. If you are not familiar with this I will try and expand it without confusing anyone.

A B C Z = The first three letters of a word and the "Z" is the last letter of that word.

For example:
abny = abnormality
appy = apparently
norl = normal

Yes, you will get some duplicates with this method because "appy" could be "appendectomy" as well so if you would like you can modify this with adding an extra letter at the end like appyy or appyx or appyz. It is really up to you. Find your method and stick with it.

Dates:
For the Month:
j=January f = February m = March a = April y = May u = June l = July g = August s = September o = October n = November d = December

jan = January feb = February mar = March and so on

For Dates With Hyphens:
j1h = 01-01-2009 f2h = 02-02-2009 and so on

For Dates With Slashes:
j1s = 01/01/2009 f2s = 02/02/2009 and so on

For the Month and the Year:
jun9 = June, 2009 may8 = May, 2008 and so on

Numbers:
Since most expanders that I have came across will not let you start a shortcut with a number I use an "n" before the number. See examples below:

n1t2 = 1 to 2 n4t4 = 4 to 5

noot = 1 or 2

ntof = 3 or 4

Use "p" for the percent sign instead of holding down the shift and reaching for the percent sign:
n50p = 50% n70p = 70%

n50mg = 50 mg

You can also use the letter o for number 0:
oo9p = 0.09%

oo3mg = 0.03 mg

Use the letter "r" for ratios:
r1 = 1:1 r2 = 2:1

Sutures:

n1v = 1-0 Vicryl

n1vn = #1-0 Vicryl

n1vs = 1-0 Vicryl stitch

n4es = 4-0 Ethibond stitch

n4esn = #4-0 Ethibond stitch

These are all examples and you can modify them however you like....Just remember your system and try to stick to one system for your shortcuts to get the most out of your expander software.

Happy typing! :)

Why Every Medical Transcriptionist Should Use Word Expander Software

2009-06-15T13:19:00.000-07:00

By Mary Ruff-King

Self-employed medical transcriptionists know that time is money and that to make a nice living working from home we all have to come up with the ways, as well as the financial means, to automate what we can.

Production is the name of the game when it comes to medical transcription. Producing more means more money. Usually speeding up our output comes with a price: sacrificing quality for quantity. However, it does not have to be that way.

People who do not work in the medical transcription field have no clue how much technology we use or how many software programs we must use and master to become proficient enough to earn a decent living as MTs. One such tool that helps us to speed up our production without jeopardizing the quality of our work is word expander software. Thank God for this tool. It not only helps us be more productive, it also may lengthen our careers as medical transcriptionists.

Word expander software, also known as text expander software, allows us to develop short forms of words and/or phrases which, when typed, will be expanded to show the full word or phrase. For example, if I type "ctr," the word expander software will expand that short form to "carpal tunnel release" which is called the long form.

The reasons for using this production tool are these:

First of all, a medical transcriptionist only has to type the long form correctly one time. It cuts down on the amount of editing that needs to be done.

Secondly, production can be increased manifold without compromising the quality of the work. Accurate medical reports are vital for patients getting quality care. Timeliness of getting the work done is of paramount importance as well.

Finally, what concerns me most as a medical transcriptionist-one who types tens of thousands of keystrokes per day-is the possibility that I and others in my profession may develop carpal tunnel syndrome or some form of tendinitis due to the repetitive nature of medical transcription.

The above reasons demonstrate that using word expander software in the performance of transcribing medical reports is not a luxury-it is a necessity not only for the benefit of our work and pay, but also our health.

If you are not using word expander software in your medical transcription business, consider looking into purchasing it now or in the near future. There are several packages that come at affordable prices. It is an tool you will soon appreciate and wonder how you did without it once you get it and implement it

Medical Transcription-Keybord Shortcuts

2009-04-09T08:48:00.001-07:00

I decided I would assign a commonly used word to each letter key on my keyboard. I am still working on this so will add more later. This is what I have so far.

Q = question
W = With
E = Examination
R = Are
T = The
Y = Any
U = You
O = Of
P = procedure
D = And
F = For
G = Good
K = Knee
B = Be
N = In

This is a work in progress so I will add more later as I get a chance. I am also thinking that I could double and triple the letters for other words also. This could save a few key strokes anyway.

Medical Transcription - Free Online Phrase/Word Counter For Creating Phrase Expanders

2009-04-08T16:15:00.000-07:00

I just stumbled onto this really cool helpful tool today. It is a free online thingy that you can copy and paste a collection of reports and it will show you phrases that are repeated throughout the reports so that you can create shortcuts for those phrase and get more productive with your typing. It is really handy.

I have Instant Text so I have been copying the results of what the phrase counter gives me and then pasting them into notepad. Then I save it as a ".txt" file. Go to your "importer" in Instant Text, click on the "importing" tab, then click on the "text file" button. Now all you have to do is find your .txt file with your phrases click on it, then click open, and save it as a ".glo" glossary file for Instant Text. Here is the last step...just include this file in your glossary that you use for work and when you get that dictator again you will have kinds of phrases for him or her. I have noticed a big difference in what is showing up in my Instant Text now.

For other expander user you could get your list of repeated phrases from this "phrase counter" and copy it to your work processor and start creating shortcuts. You will be surprise at what you are missing and saying to yourself "Why didn't I add this sooner."

Have fun with this. Here is the link: http://www.writewords.org.uk/phrase_count.asp

Stickies for those MT Notes - These will not fall off of your computer!

2009-03-31T03:27:00.000-07:00

I just found a very helpful little yellow sticky note. Virtual stickies for those transcription notes! You can even change the color if you want. It is actually a handy little program that actually puts a yellow sticky note on your computer for you, and this one will not fall off and end up behind your computer on the floor with the dust bunnies! It is (Stickies v6.5a) and FREE.

It has an alarm to remind you of appointments, when to take the laundry out of the dryer, or pick up the kids. You can set it to alert you after an hour so you can see how many lines you typed also. Anyone working online or at a computer could really use these. You can even copy and paste the info you want to save on them. No writing!

Saving Keystrokes by Diana Rolland is a Great Resource for Creating Typing Shortcuts

2009-03-30T06:54:00.000-07:00

There is a great book for helping you develop a system for using shortcuts with your expander. It is called “Saving Keystrokes”by Diana Rolland. I think it also goes by the title of “When The Name Of The Game Is Saving Keystrokes". It depends on where you buy it.

It goes step by step for different methods of adding shortcuts to your expander..any expander..so that you will remember them and actually use them. It's kinda the ABCZ method, but in depth with references to the exceptions to the rules. It has helped me quite a bit.

The Saving Keystrokes book is a very good intro to how to use an expander and what to think of when developing your shortcuts. It is in workbook format, with lines to fill in for what your abbreviations are for some lists. It does not cover every possibility, but does have so as to give you a good idea on how to develop your own method. Diana Rollan suggests making a root, such as db for diabetes.

Then have set abbreviations for the endings like c for -ic.
Therefore, dbc = diabetic.
incl for include, then g = ing, so inclg = including. d = -ed, so incld = included.

The idea is to build on your roots to make words and phrases.iddb = insulin-dependent diabetesiddbc = insulin-dependent diabetic dbm = diabetes mellitus dbm2 = diabetes mellitus type 2 etc.

Medical Transcription – Text & Phrase Expanders – Productive Typing

2009-03-28T18:47:00.000-07:00

Every medical transcriptionist will tell you that your money maker is your expander or your shortcut program. There are several of them and only you will know which one works for you.

With a phrase/word expander you type “tp” and your expander will expand that “tp” to “the patient” and you save 7 keystrokes. That does not seem like much, but when you are typing for 8 hours a day everyday that saves you a lot of work and your wrists, arms, and hands! Trust me, your hands will hurt if you type all day, everyday without an expander. These programs will practically autocomplete your words and phrases for you.

Here are a few expanders:
Stedman’s Smartype - which has a little line “smartline” that pops up by your cursor so that you can see the suggestions or glance down at the bottom of the screen at the “smartlist”. You do have to create unique shortcuts for each word or phrase that you want to expand. I might only type 1 or 2 letters and the word appears in the bar, so I hit space and there it is.

Instant Text - This is a good one. This program will take documents that you have already typed and create the shortcuts for you. You do not even have to think about what they are because Instant Text lists the phrases on the right side of the screen and the words at the left side for you. You just type the first letter of each word in your phrase and Instant Text will list it for you. As for words, you just type the first couple of letters and then a letter that is in the rest of the word and it will be listed on the left side at the bottom of your screen. This is neat because it is kind of like a wildcard for your. If you do not know how to spell the word, you can just type the letters that you are sure in that word and Instant Text will list it for you.

Shorthand/Speedtype – These expanders are actually the exact same program with two different names. It is similar to Stedmans Smartype in that it has the suggestion window that pops up by your cursor and it also lists suggestions at the bottom of your screen. It is cheaper than Stedmans Smartype. Shorthand and Speedtype do have a free trial version so that you can try it out before you buy.

Autocorrect/Autotext – The “FREE” Expander - Microsoft Word Autocorrect can be used as a word and phrase expander also. Autotext will actually show you a suggestion window too.

Here is a list of some of the Shortcuts or Expanders that I use.

Now Get Productive!!

You MUST be very smart about how you use shortcuts
Many, many things overlap and you have to be creative and smart, lest you make MORE work for yourself.

Mary Morken had 13,480 shortcuts in Stedmans Smarttype.

My top speed in Word, straight typing, no normals is like 380 lph

Make shortcuts for medical words and phrases as well as regular words and phrases also. You type “she has no”, “he states he”, and many others very often in medical documents.
