"These big companies can attract customers by selling at cost prices. That means people here are going to lose jobs. Shops like ours will be hit the most," Mr Sethi said. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? ...

Check out this article on outsourcing and the newly passed healthcare bill. This article talks about how the massive job increases are pretty much going to go go India and not stay here in the U.S. http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20100325/wl_csm/290215 ...

I recently applied for a coding position at a hospital. The last line of the job listing said, "Motivated students with strong interest in coding may be considered." In my resume, I explained what I was currently doing; taking the AAPC coding course, and in using directly quoted info from the AAPC website (below where it starts...."This course teaches"... and ends with ......"volume 3 procedure coding". I am currently a student in the CPC-H® coding course administer ...

I've been working for a while on the Editscript platform. My company pays me 3 cpl for VR (ridiculous) and 6 cpl for ST (also ridiculous). I felt like I had to take this job because I was a new grad and it took me three months to find it. I am unable to make over $10/hr at my very fastest, even using Instant Text. Most days, it's more like $7-8/hr. I can't survive like this! Anyway, it's good that I'm learning the platform, and it sounds li ...

Everybody leave Medquist....go get other work -- working at McDonald's pays more and has better benefits - at least you get to eat. And see how well India does all the transcription -- they can't do it -- we do the hard work and they get the cream. We are sitting her dying with their bad machines and bad dictators. Let them have it -- they will corode. ...

has anyone heard of this company? I searched for it but came up with nothing. ...

I have not heard it mentioned in a very long time. ...

Indian MTs are being started at $40/week which is not a living wage even in India. At that rate, MM can go through many layers of QA in India and still spend much less than they would using Americans. They will replace as many US MTs as they possibly can, keeping Americans only if requested by the client. They will find any excuse they can to do this. The only hope is if clients are dissatisfied with the quality of the work and take steps to correct it. There have b ...

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the above company? Are they for real or is it a scam? Thanks. ...

Hoping everyone has found new and happy homes. Frightening to think we can so easily lose our job (through no fault of our own). I understand it was not just new people hired for that specific account but some of you had been there a while and were put on it and got zapped. I thought of asking for transfer to it simply because it was a large account. Wow, I dodged that bullet. Sorry you were not as lucky. Best of luck to you (and the rest of us). ...

I have been through this several times before and I know the signs. Work levels start to drop inexplicably for prolonged periods. People get fired for specious reasons, the petty harrassment starts, another way to lessen your workforce before... what? I feel something really, really bad coming our way, either offshoring, VR and cut in wages, getting sold, or all three. It is no more business as usual here, something is up, and I wonder if anyone else has noticed. Be ...

Anyone else get one of these notifications this morning? As of today there is no work for me. ...

they can count me out. When I feel like part of a team & am asked nicely to help when they're backlogged, I'm more than happy to help. I think the power goes to some of their heads. We're not children... ...

Dear Alice, You are aware that you are not, in fact, the owner of the platforms as mentioned in your ad, right? We are not that naive "MT Force Communications, which owns our well-known and widely-used platforms, eScription, Dictaphone Enterprise Speech System and Beyond TXT." ...

SO annoying. I can only view my email in lite mode. ...

This doctor clearly dictates the word, E force, but I can't document it anywhere. He dictates it in the following sentences. (1) "He has no neurocognitive slowing. E force consistent with medication compliance with the Xanax 0.5 mg b.i.d." (2) "He has a clear sensorium. E force is checked." Thank you very much for your help. ...

This is an interesting article about using medical scribes to do transcription. It is a way for doctors to create electronic medical records and not have to enter information into computers themselves. http://articles.latimes.com/2010/sep/06/health/la-he-medical-scribes-20100906 ...

I don't work for Nuance or the other 3 MTSOs listed, but I found this article clear and with devastating details about the exact cost of what happens to the local economy when employers opt to switch to the offshoring companies: http://www.abc4.com/content/news/slc/story/University-of-Utah-Hospital-sending-local-jobs/ApYQbQl0d0OqwCx2vzmjlQ.cspx or search "University of Utah Hospital sending local jobs overseas" "Hundreds of people just like Rachelle are losing their jobs at medical tra ...

I just brought in my mail and there was the March 28 issue of "For the Record", a magazine that was part of my AHDI membership benefits. I don't know why they're still sending it to me because my AHDI membership ran out, but I the cover story of this issue is "The MT Credentialing Debate: What do Medical Transcriptionists Gain by Adding RMT or CMT to Their Resumes?" I haven't started reading it yet, but it should be interesting! ...

http://ahdilounge.blogspot.com/2011/08/medquists-new-ceo-re-branding-on.html They seem pretty happy about having 28 sites in India and want to keep offshoring more of their work. I really wonder how many Americans, if properly educated about the whole thing, would really want their medical history sent overseas. I know clinics/hospitals don't care. They are using MQ and other services that offshore because they want to save a buck on services. Yeah I know, s ...
