Sometimes you guys just kill me. The company is providing a product that is based on a line per HOUR rate. If the company, through technology - NOT through less staff - can double the production in that hour why the heck wouldn't they offer a savings to their clients in a competitive market!?
And before you whine about declining paychecks because of ASR, get a grip and learn how to proofread. The same MTs who struggle with audit issues and line count issues are the same MTs who never learned that it is not about the transcription - it is about your ability to proof your own work, and now to proof others.
AND, before you complain about why you should have to proof other's work (i.e. ASR) please try and remember that medical transcription is a language art not well-performed by semi-trained monkeys with large vocabularies. You have to be able to grasp it, interpret it and set it down on paper using proper English, and you have to be able to proofread effectively.
And yes, I am just a plain MT working for the Q, who treats me just fine as an employee. |
