I am doing a transcription case study. Here’s the scenario….A health information management dept is opened Mon-Fri. It is responsible for transcribing an average of 200,000 lines of dictation in each 4-week period. The minimum productivity standard unit is 1,000 lines per day. How many FTE(full time equivalent) transcriptions are needed to staff the unit?

Hi everyone and welcome to my site!
My name is Kate Delaney and I'm from Illinois. I created this site to share my story about how I made a mid-life career change that changed my life.
I went from being a high school graduate with a series of low paying jobs, and even some time on unemployment, to becoming a professional with a stable and well-paying career.
I found the training, financial aid, and even job placement help all online. Now, I don't have a job; I have a career! I'm a Medical Transcriptionist and I love it! Read my story.
Check out the company that made my dreams come true.

They need 10 full time MTs. Each MT would transcribe 1000 lines per day to equal 5,000 lines per week per MT which equals 50,000 lines per week total by all 10 MTs. If you x that by 4 weeks, you get 200,000 lines per month. Here is the formula in full:
10 MTs transcribing 1,000 lines per day = $50,000 lines total per week
50,000 lines per week x 4 weeks = 200,000 lines per month.
I take it that the course you chose is using the Hillcrest and Forrest dictation. This is not detailed enough for you and you will need to follow up using either the SUM program or the Absolute Experience tapes. The Hillcrest and Forrest dictation program is far too easy and doesn’t simulate real world dictation.
Can you elaborate on your question? Are you referring to how to type formulas, or are you referring to something else such as macros? Perhaps an example would help. You may find help for typing formulas on the referenced website.
