[MT-L] NPR REPORT WRITING
Tammy McGary
I was wondering who other facilities are using for NPR reports? We recently
have been using IPEOPLE, but I was curious who else Meditech facilities are
utilizing and are you happy with those companies? Recently IPEOPLE lost the
person who was writing ours, and I am not getting the response time I have
become accustomed to. We are a Magic 5.62 facility and any information
would be greatly appreciated.

Stewart, Donald
excellent company to deal with. We have also used a few individuals in
the past for simpler stuff when we just didn't have time to meet all the
demands. I do probably 98% here.
