Unfortunately, our educational system most likely does not compete when compared to India when it comes to English, grammar and the like. Our primary language is no longer *English* here in the US .. it's American. I see errors all over the place in the media. We should initiate Latin back into our schools. I think the one year I had was what helped me more than anything else. It was the reason I was given my first transcription position back when we did it on a typewriter.
I have read many blogs from friends and just browsing which have been written by Indians and they have an incredible gift for the English language. I did look over an outsourcing company (don't remember who) a year or so ago and noticed a difference in the training. They even teach American slang!
Bottom line is ~ why didn't these companies develop things other than a bunch of schools to develop a slave pool .. like happy, productive, confident transcriptionists .. they could have improved their business reputations quite well?
Last year I was with Spheris for 3 months doing VRE. I realized right away we were training their program for them. The reports could have been typed much faster first go for the most part. Then there was the hierarchy of people checking reports and supervising .. rather overwhelming. I didn't really know about outsourcing before that.
I'm wondering with the low rate an MT is mostly offered, what exactly is paid for this service .. what does the hospital bill look like? |
