I have been working on this one for an hour and can't seem to get a few parts. One sounds like configuration. Also, after "FILMS OF THE CHEST", it s/l "One view" and then I think it might be a date afterwards. I am not sure. Please see entire message. (s/l FILMS) OF THE CHEST: (s/l One view) (___). (s/l Compared): 10/12/10 HISTORY: Line tube placement. FINDINGS: (S/l Configuration) is noted in the lungs. Endotracheal tube at the T4 level below the carina. A gastrostomy tube is no ...

"A recent report by the McKinsey Global Institute found that while low-skill jobs are on the decline, by 2020 employers around the globe will need an estimated 45 million more mid-level workers who have a high school education and vocational training. Meanwhile, a highly citedstudy by the Harvard Graduate School of Education last year concluded that in the U.S. “we place far too much emphasis on a single pathway to success: attending and graduating from a four-year college ...

Below is a link to an article about phishing and hacking into CEOs computers but this could be extrapolated out to include medical records. After all, I think the privacy of medical records is important and since Forbes recommends keeping valuable info offline, it follows. Now, those of you would think you won't have a job of medical records are brought back locally, think again. There were will be plenty of local jobs out there and the big national MT companies won't be calling t ...

that is less than 30 lines; dictator who repeats every sentence with 1 subtle change; DEAD AIR, etc. It is stressful enough that I'm losing money today but to be stressed out about line count and being perfect...I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!! ...

Found this in the Letters to Editor in AdvanceWeb.com. : I feel compelled to voice my thoughts on the topic of credentialed MTs; the reason being I work with a fantastic group of MTs under my management. We work at a community hospital in a centralized setting; all departments dictate their patient records and we transcribe them. They are highly skilled, productive and accurate and simply the best staff to manage. Here are my thoughts. * Are Credentialed MTs better? If t ...

Good Morning MQ-ville. I was reading a posting below, started yesterday "Whadayaknow" and there were a couple of responses to the posting that I think are worth you reading. We should all be much more PROACTIVE in the auditing process and ask questions or if we disagree, tell them we do! We should also not take BS sitting down! I agree that too many of us have just accepted being fed crap because we've begun to feel "beaten down". I also am 'MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO ...

Oh my gosh! Open this article and read what is down below at the VERY BOTTOM LEFT OF THIS ARTICLE!

in the MT Stars archives a post entitled "MT's and Unions, and past mistakes:". This was posted on 11/23/10. I am contacting various union representatives, among other things. The most important thing is to get the word out as much as we can about the unfair policies on MT's by various companies. I know it can seem futile, but I think if enough of us communicate long enough, someone has to listen. Thanks. ...

The older I get, the less able I am to tolerate these mush-mouthed, lip smacking, gum chewing, burping, toilet flushing dictators. And those are the good ones that I've had lately which should give you any idea of how the rest of them are. I so wish I could quit this lousy business altogether, but right now that's just not possible. I will now get off the soap box and let someone else have their turn. ...

So relevant to what we are dealing with here at Nuance. http://www.fortherecordmag.com/archives/0315p18.shtml ...

I just found out that a mail clerk, working in a mail room at a local company, earned more $$$ than I did last year! QC with 30+ years' experience! My God. Nuance is killing me! Cannot wait to say Goodbye :( ...

This particular board, the New MTs board, is devoted to assisting the newcomers to this profession. It is here as a help, an assistance, a way to advise and mentor newbies. It is NOT a place to slam, discourage, handslap or pick fights between newbies and experienced MTs. We are not going to have an ongoing war or scuffles between the experienced MTs and the newbies or vice versa in regard to who should or should not be in this industry, who does a better job, who knows more, ...

The HITECH Act: Will You Be Fine, or Fined? FRANKLY, OUR GOVERNMENT SUCKS BIG TIME! I AM STILL USING A WORK COMPUTER, IS THAT GOOD OR NOT??? Under the new Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) that takes effect this upcoming February, you as a transcriptionist could now be directly liable for any private health information (PHI) that is stolen or somehow reaches the public domain. That could include any transcriptions you produce that are emailed ...

November 23, 2009 Transcription Technology Wars — Navigating the ASP/ASR/ARRA BattlefieldBy Dale Kivi, MBAFor The RecordVol. 21 No. 22 P. 10 Choose an ill-fitting business model and healthcare providers may become economic casualties, according to an industry insider.

Just spoke to someone I know in TAA/Unemployement office. FIRST TIME RIGHT is a gray area. We can fight this because it is a gray area. It is not right that if a doctor dictates and we cannot understand what they are saying for sure and we can get docked in pay, literally take money from us. IT IS NOT LEGAL. That is probably why the big bosses are on this board to see what they can get away with. We have every right to fight them. It is just wrong! I WAS ...

Let me introduce myself. I am a full time MT with 25 years experience in this business, averaging typing 2000 lines per day, audit scores 98% and above, who willingly works OT when requested, and I have never taken a sick day. I consider my job a serious employment commitment. I am the bread-winner in my family. I don't say this to indicate I make the most money. This means I PAY THE BILLS. You know, mortgage, car payments, insurance, light bill, food on the ta ...

This is my yearly ode to all of you during MT WEEK, and I want to again express my humble opinion. For just a few minutes, please put aside your depression and anger at your profession and just take a deep breath and listen to what I have to say. I am truly awed by what you all do. What other profession would you have to be a medical terminology specialist, pharmacology specialist, English language expert, AND a computer/software expert all in one? There is no other pr ...

I just got through reading the website of CBay in its entirety to get more insight into their company. They appear to be a giant in the field, own almost everything that has to do with medical transcription or the likes thereof. I clicked on the Executive Bios section and got to read about each executive's background, etc. What I saw and read were numerous CBay individuals (all men I might add) with many years' worth of previous employment by well known companies, som ...

How do you think the head person of WEB started out? I believe it was from learning the business from MQ. Before WEB, it was Spheris. Before Spheris, it was MQ who was previously known as MRC Group and Transcription Limited who joined and became MQ. Previous to MRC Group, it was Secrephone/Medifax where some of the managers started out and became CEO/COO/board of directors. All these CEO, COO, financial officers, board of members all know each other and used to wor ...

To all those who won a prize last week for MT week, congratulations. Now for corporate, if you can afford to hand out trips, flat screen TVs, and other prizes, why can't you give us a COL increase? I have never won a prize from MQ, even after 12+ years of dedicated work, working on short notice, getting high scores on audits, etc. I don't want the prize, I want to be paid for what I'm worth on a daily basis! Corporate, your actions speak louder than words! ...

Gee whiz, Nuance's revenue was up approximately 34% in the 3rd quarter ending June 2012 especially in their healthcare market. This sickens me IMO. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nuance-announces-third-quarter-fiscal-2012-results-2012-08-07 ...

My job is extremely stressful these days b/c of constant threatening e mails to the whole team by our manager. I really don't want to look at e mails anymore. They are making me feel really bad about the job. But the work itself is good and the pay is minimum wage (of course). So I can't quit. I am thinking about not looking at e mails. Has anyone been able to continue working without getting in trouble by not reading e mails. What is the longest you hav ...

KarmaWhen people insult you, don’t take offense, don’t take it personally, but do listen to their words. They are telling you how they see the world, and they are telling you the exact negative qualities that they possess. "The Law of Mirrors" states that one can only see what’s in them, regardless if it is what is actually present in reality or not. Release the need to defend or try to explain to them that you’re not being whatever-nasty-insult-they’ve-thrown-at-yo ...

After more than 25 years in this business, I am getting the heck out! I don't mind working hard. I do very well on audits. I am reliable. I have made more than $40,000 a year until now, and did not even have to work 8 hours to do it. I have worked over-time when needed. I have loved doing this - until now. What this profession has turned into is a crying shame, competitiveness, greed, and pettiness. Are MT schools actually still taking p ...

I have been saying all along to my family only (who sadly knows this crap), that the timing of this Coder Contest was so 'clever.' Yes, it exists, but, the timing, 1st the bankruptcy "rumor", and then the CEO insulting explanation, and then we all did get distracted with the "candy", the coding thing. This board ground to a halt as far as BK discussion, which was intelligent, to nothing but coding. Then the Chap 11 news breaks, followed by a candy trail of notices on who is ...
