Worried

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I am in desperate need of advice.

Two months ago I started working at a hospital (along with about 7 other new

people). We all have little or no experience. We have been told that by the

time we are there three months, we need to be transcribing 1300 lines daily.

I worked really hard to get this job and I don't want to lose it!

Can anyone give me advice on how I can improve my line count? Presently I do

an average of 600 lines a day.

Thanks,

Ria

Does the hospital you work for use macros? That can increase your line

count. Are you consistently doing the same doctors or different docs? If

you are doing different docs every day that could be slowing you down. If

you are used to doing the same docs, you get used to them and what they say.

Ask them for sample reports of the doctors you are doing. Do you have a lot

of distractions there? If so, this could be slowing you down. What is the

time frame that they want you to complete 1300 lines? Hope it works out for

you! In my personal opinion, I think 1300 lines a day is a lot to ask out of

a newbie, but that is JMO.
