Medscribe (Jacksonville/Naples) Article - Interesting How CEO Thinks

Posted: Oct 28, 2014

Just interesting and wanted to share.

"They really think they're invisible," Langley chuckles.

"I'm worried about technology making us obsolete," Langley concedes.

"Employees clock in with a "Web clock" and the system boots them out if they've stopped working for longer than five minutes. 'I know what they're not doing,' Langley says."

"Transcription applicants are required to have at least five years of acute-care experience. Employees who can't meet the minimum production requirements and near-perfect accuracy scores get pay cuts and usually leave.

"I don't have any mercy," Langley says. This rigorous culling means only 20% of new hires are successful long-term employees. 'Most of our turnover is in the first two or three weeks,' Langley says."

"But MedScribe runs every dictation through speech-recognition software created by Pittsburgh-based M*Modal, which specializes in the health-care field. About one-quarter of the dictations are accurate enough to use, though one of the company's dozen editors still has to review those."

We all deserve better then that type of mentality. When will companies get it? I had an interview scheduled with them and found this while researching the company. I cancelled the interview.

Yes, me too... - xx

I don't feel bad I keep applying and they don't get back to me. There was a reason and someone was looking over me. Thanks for info.

Wow - ss

No mercy?? "Culling" sounds like he is checking the herd and weaning out the undesirables. As if we weren't treated like human beings for the most part.

Is this a foreign-owned company?

No, but they offshore a lot, and at first lied and said they did not. - anon

They can lie though...its good for business.

No, they don't - sm

Such statements are truly just piling on. "They can lie though...its good for business." Anybody out there own a business? How much do you lie to your customers and still grow your business? What a foolish thing to say. I work at MedScribe, they have never missed a pay date in the 9 years that I have typed for them. With what is out there today I will stay with a family owned, USA based company that has never missed paying me on time. They started as a family business in 1992, I have talked with all of the family members at one point in time or another, they are all decent sincere people and don't deserve statements like the above.

You only mentioned pay.... - Did not defend the rest of statements.

Anyone know what is going on with Medscribe? There has been little to no work for weeks now with promises of more work coming in.

Archives are divided -- half happy and treated well and doing the work they expected to do, paid on time, good benefits.

Thanks. ...
