Did they Eliminate the 'PAUSE' command??

Started a new job this week and I can't see how I can make minimum production due to the long pauses in every report I have done so far. They must not even have a Pause command in the software, as why would 100% of the dictators suddenly stop using it? I'm sure others know the stress of the threat of termination with each long pause dimishing their counts. ...

What happened?? With my own accounts I've worked for 100 different doctors and every single one used the pause as a standard courtesy. Today - not ONE single dictator uses it, yet some still keep saying "sorry" when they have more than 10 seconds of dead air time. Do the dictators now consist of a new generation of rudeness or did they "forget" to include a "PAUSE" command in the programs??? ...

For others who have had it with the miniscule wages, unreasonable expectations and unethical business practices, have you thought about working directly for the providers again? What would it take to be able to do this? Are all EMRs set up to receive dictation? Anyone know how we would integrate our services with the EMR and the approximate cost? I would think that for providers who are fine with 24-hour turnaround, we could offer the same service they are receivi ...

There is also pain with passive dorsiflexion and plantar flexion in the toe at the extremes. She is stiff as compared to the contralateral side. ...

Dictator states to another in the room - What's the button for pause on this thing? Other person in room - Don't worry about it, just let it run...the secretary doesn't care. What!? Thank you for encouraging dead spaces in the dictation, I enjoy sitting here not getting paid, listening to papers shuffling and chattering in the background. Oh, and I'm a Medical Transciptionist/Medical Language Specialist, not the secretary. ...

Does anyone know if EMRs still even have a pause command? Do dictators have any concept that they are forcing us to sit idly without pay while they flip pages looking for lab results, or reviewing a chart? Maybe the MTSOs should advise their clients that if they want their reports back within the specified TAT that they cannot waste hours of our time sitting and doing nothing. ...

Last night I was stuck editing an ESL doctor who pauses so long between words my hourly rate dropped down to less than $2. an hour! I filed & painted all my nails between words, cleaned and organized my desk and sat for an agonizing minutes with nothing to do but wait. The neighbors could probably hear my yelling "COME ON!!!!! SAY SOMETHING YOU ____ _____ _____ _____" Why do these ... people not even think to use the pause command? The clients and MTSOs can bitch about TAT ...

I worked for MD-IT for 3+ years. I started out full time but this past summer switched to part time because I have two smalll chidren at home My supervisor said it was competely fine and when I wanted to switch back over, just let her know and she would take care of it. I had not switched back over to full time because of some family issues but was planning on doing this starting this January, which my supervisor also knew. Over the summer, I started noticing that I was getting ...

Anyone opinions (good, bad, indifferent) about this company? They have offered me a position, and not sure if it is any better than the company I am currenty with. Appreciate all feedback. ...

Fluency. I remember on MSWord there was a command to move the report up without your cursor leaving its spot so you didn't have to stare at the bottom of your monitor all day. Of course if you page down, your cursor moves, so that doesn't work on Fluency. Does anyone know if there's a similar command? (I would love to have that command as well as ctrl-arrowing placing the cursor at the end of the word rather than the beginning, like it is in eScription.& ...

I have noticed this a few times now. About halfway into a report, when I hit ctrl+shift+m to jump to where the text is, the cursor goes to the very end of the document. Whenever I hit ctrl+shift+m after that, it goes directly to the end, never to where the text/audio is synched. Is there a command that makes this happen that I am doing accidentally? Anyone know how to reverse this. It is soooo annoying to not be able to jump directly to where I want to be!! Thanks. ...

I have read some of the comments on this company, but they are about 9 months old, so I am looking for more current information. I am so tired of having to jump from company to company because so many of them lie in their company information. Here are some of my questions: Does TransformMT have enough work? What do they call a line? Count headers/footers, etc.? What is their usual starting pay (by the way MTs, I cannot believe how these companies are getting away with paying us so little... ...

I am wondering how it is part-time? I am assuming they hire either employee or IC status, and how is that with flexibility? Any and all comments welcome please. Thanks so much in advance! ...

Would someone tell me where I can find the hierarchy list? All the folks above my supervisor? And stuff like who runs payroll, etc. Don't even know where to start looking for the list. Thanks a bunch. ...

Like I've said in previous reviews/posts about this company, if it's the cardiology account, you were warned. They have other accounts and Transform accounts, but if its' the cardiology account, you will not make any money. MOST, like 98%, of all jobs are very short and if you use free Express Scribe, which they have and will download on your computer, the quality if bad and hard to hear the docs clearly. You have to buy a voiceplayer like Gearplayer $200, Bytesc ...

I have an interview with them tomorrow. Does anyone here work for them? If so, how do you like it? Everything I've read about them sounds good, but the great unknowns which I'll find out tomorrow are how much they pay and what kind of insurance bennies they offer. TIA! ...

I applied for a position with them using their online application form. After the response I got from them, I don't think I would want to work for them if they can't even hire someone to proof the messages being sent out. Here it is: We wanted to let you know as quickly as possible how much we appreciate your interest in joining our team at Command Health. We have filled a good number of the positions from the ad, and unfortunately the positions that we have remaining open do a ...

Is there anyone currently working (in a production status) for Command Health who will speak to the workload/workflow of the accounts? Is there enough work to meet production requirements in order to keep benefits? How much flexing is required in order to meet production on a daily/per pay period basis? Is the flexing done easily, or d you feel you are monitoring the account day and night in order to meet production? Any info is appreciated. ...

Does anyone have info on either of these companies? Good, bad, indifferent? Tx! :o) ...

I've been there for a couple of weeks and so far am not too impressed with volume of work available (ie not enough work for the number of people grabbing from pool) or with communication (ie there is pretty much NO communication about ANYTHING). There are good things about this place compared to my previous job, but I hope things improve in other areas. If anyone works there and has any thoughts to share, please feel free. ...

Anyone happy at Transform/Command Health. I am thinking about applying and would like any recent feedback, good or bad (but preferrably good) from any current employees. Thanks! ...
