Silent Type big main account is being transitioned to VR - SM

Posted: Mar 25, 2014

Does anyone know if the big main account is being transitioned to VR, and if so, has anyone on this account been invited to move to VR?

Do you mean the "M" account? - nm

If they were switching to VR, wouldn't we at least be getting editing work? This is not the case. It appears that ST may be slowly but surely losing this account or at least some of it. Of course, how would we know when there is no communication?

Oh and it looks like the ST cheerleader has arrived with the dislikes! :)

Editing - OP

[ In Reply To ..]
You would not be getting VR if it is not in your work pool. When we get updates, there are sometimes Edit updates. Our updates do not include things such as physician lists from other accounts, so I assume the Edit updates are for the M account. Thus my question, has anyone been invited to do editing? Am I being left out for some reason or is it just paranoia on my part?

What updates are you actually getting? Is it for the AnyModal Editor? Are you still typing on Word? All accounts are suppose to be on the editor eventually I believe, BUT you can still straight type on it. It doesn't mean you are being changed to VR. I would ask??

yes and yes - SM

It seems some may be privy to information about all accounts being on the editor eventually, while the rest of us are in the dark and asking questions is futile.

I believe the only reason - Anon

I know this information is because my account has already been switched over. If you are getting updates for the editor then your account must be getting ready to switch soon. :)

I am wondering why in the past 2 months or so the VR on my main account has become worse than when the drs were first VR. I am finding myself typing more than 50% of the supposed VR instead of just editing it and dropping my paycheck even further. This is very frustrating when you are stuck on a VR for triple the time or more of the actual audio time. I proposed this question to upper management and their response was that they have no idea why this is happening, but they are seeing this a ...

Does not surprise me.. the Canned reports featured in EPIC I am sure will take over to completely do away transcriptionists. Clearly healthcare is okay with homogenous reports that really are not particular to the patient, just trying to stay within the slimmest margin of the law. It's like legal liability insurance...the bare minimum required. ...

Can anyone give me info on Silent Type, either on the board or by e-mail? Would like to know about steady work flow, general idea about line rates, if they provide equipment, straight typing versus VR, weekends required, and do they still require you to train on site at your own expense and if so when is that reimbursed? Any current info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ...

I have been with Silent Type for a year now. I enjoy the fact we work M-F schedule and no weekends. I also enjoy the fact that we have good QA. I also enjoy the fact we get vacation and bonuses. I also enjoy the fact we are offered health insurance and 401-K. Girls don't forget these perks when you are complaining about the work being light. I have been in this field for over 35 years and there is always the concept of too much work or no work in the field of transcription. Do ...
