TransTech, Can you pick your own schedule - Lulu


Posted: Dec 15, 2013

Can you pick your own schedule, either a full 8-hour straight work day or a split-shift?

If there is an opening left by a fav. - anon

No work on days usually to get any line count even if you have a daytime schedule. Need quota, count on 24/7, 365 days VR and ESL...that's the 4 cents of it all.

That was my experience. SM - ExTTer

Unless you're on 3rd shift, the lead MTs will grab any decent jobs out of your queue the second you get them. They get really vicious and punitive, with vicious emails, when the MT complains about anything, i.e., no work, MT leads grabbing your work, cherry picking; then they'll really put you on crappy accounts just to make sure you don't get your lines.

well - TK

I found the 2nd shift lead to be very nice when I worked there. I always wished that I had the ability to work 3rd shift. I was never able to train my body to stay awake at night and sleep during the day.

You work when they have you scheduled - period.

Two questions. Does anyone else have the little screen that pops up and says Editscript has been inactive for 1 hour, will automatically shut down in 5 minutes and then counts down?

Secondly,I had an appointment last week so missed an hour and missed a few minutes here and there enough to be over 2 hours short on my normal working hours. First I received an email (ON MY DAY OFF SO I DID NOT SEE IT) that I must m ...


Looks Like QA Really Can Pick And Choose!
Jan 04, 2015

After browsing around in FIESA, I found what looks to be an instruction manual for the people who audit us and after looking at it, it sure does look like they can pick and choose which reports to audit, rather than randomly. I have also had the worst dictators audited more than the good ones. Of course it's easier to find a mistake that way and easier to keep our pay down! Remember 7 cpl is really equal to only 3.5 cpl if most of your jobs are VR. ...

Here's the deal, I'm not saying I cherry pick every minute of my shift, but if I have done one after the other report of difficult dictators, then I will go in and assign myself 2 or 3 jobs to give myself a break.  I work directly for a hospital and I know that I am absolutely not the only one who does this.  I also cherry pick if the end of my shift is coming up and I find that my lines need a little boost.  I will assign myself some easy dictators to boost up my lines ...

Since I can't get the same answer out of my QA, my CCM and others, I guess I'll poll the audience.  We DO NOT put the zeros on medications, like 4.0 mg should be typed 4 mg, right?  Do we put the zeros on...welll...pretty much anything else, like creatinine 2.0, temperature 98.0?  And no, I'm not new.  I've been told many different things over the past 10 years that now I'm just messed up, confused and too tired to think straight.  ...

MTs With RHIT Please, And How To Pick A School?

Wow, I'm a little confused. I hope to train for coding for if/when my in-house transcription job dries up, so I asked around the hospital about whether I should get my RHIT. (Yes yes I know I can't go into full-fledged coding the day I get the RHIT. I want to be in position to help out in the transition to ICD-10.) Response was positive, and they suggested any program accredited by AHIMA. Doesn't this leave out Andrews? People on this site seem to like Andrews. My state has ...


Is There A Way To Cherry Pick In EScription?

Just curious about this because it seemed when I worked my last shift, I had all good doctors for a change.  Some of them I'd never typed before.  So I got to wondering if people can actually cherry pick on eScription.  I was under the impression that was one of the benefits of that software, difficult to do that.  We all work the same bad shift, let's share the junk reports, please! ...
