Do you guys report errors in "job search" feature - this is bad

Posted: Aug 11, 2012

In an OP note, someone put

DRAINS:

40 to gravity

Should be FOLEY!!!

How are people not audited on this stuff??? Do you all report this or just ignore it?

A newbie, huh? Recent graduate? - nm

why would a newbie or recent grad be doing OPs - this company!!!

With this company, who knows. Nuttin would surprise - me anymore. nm

You are right. :) - my pea sized brain didnt think of that

[ In Reply To ..]
I just cant imagine even a newbie thinking "Drains: 40 to gravity" made sense. Like 40 drains were inserted??? I suppose, if the company is the example of how common sense operates, why would the MTs do any better?

lovely conversation .... where's the answer? - n/m

Idk, but you didnt answer either - guilty as charged

[ In Reply To ..]
I would not report it, by the way.

I'm Tier 3 and I'm doing less and less ops and more plain - poop. SM

I want to be level 1 and I'm not kidding.

They are giving op reports to new MTs (not just new to account, but new MTs), because they can search out old reports and many op reports are the doctors saying same thing over and over. That's how I made money, but no longer.

Probably just one of those people glancing - through the ASR report

90 to nothing making the big bucks.

Big bucks? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
The only people making the big bucks are the 1%: The executives and shareholders. The MTs could jam reports through all day without even looking at them and still not get anywhere near the obscene amounts of money these gluttons are stealing. If they're lucky, they might even be able to enter the middle class for a few weeks, before they start failing their audits.

MISTAKES IN REPORTS - Nature

Sorry to say, but if we reported all the mistakes we see, we would never get any transcribing done. I see errors every day....some major and some minor. I never report them. Many, many years ago, I did, and I was asked how I had so much extra time to report this, and that I was suppose to be typing not critiquing.

Thank you Nature. May be thats why she didn't get any answers. - There was a question similar to

[ In Reply To ..]
this last week, which I responded to. I saw this but was not going to respond until someone posted and asked where are the answers.

I dont know if she is the same person, but if she wants to report then let her go ahead and report and find out on her own.

I was not trying to critique anyone - but,

[ In Reply To ..]
I dont want to lose an account either because of such stupidity. If the client finds all of these errors, we could lose the account and then I wont have any work...

Excuse me for asking.

don't get upset - Drone

[ In Reply To ..]
it's just that we know from experience that the QA people don't want to hear from us about things like that.

Yes, you did just ask a question and got a lot of - play nice

[ In Reply To ..]
negative remarks. I know a lot of us are not happy with Mmodal right now but let's not take it out on our fellow MTs. People, she just asked a simple question!

My Job is to focus on the accuracy and quality of my - own work. Just like you saw it, Im sure that

[ In Reply To ..]
someone else has too. Thats what QCs, MMEs and audits are for. Im not the MModal police.

Thats my answer.

It looks like you got your answer. They don't care, then we don't care. What a shame it's come down to this kind of attitude, but it was forced on us just like everything else. There was a time when we actually cared and took that kind of question to heart. There was also a time when the MTSOs actually cared to hear about this kind of mistake. The times, they are a changin'.

It is very sad, an such a shame - pride

[ In Reply To ..]
I am shocked that it has come to this, but that is fine. Seems like the whole damn country has given up!

Sad but not surprising. Why should I, low man on pole, care more - than Vern or the CEO of facility? nm

Just to let you - know

[ In Reply To ..]
how much they care, I had a report that I had a major error in it. It was a medication dosage. anyway on the audit I got knocked off for a major error, but they never fixed the error in the final report. When I questioned this they said that they don't resend reports that are fixed through if they have already been signed off on. So, many of the errors you have seen have probably cost an MT an error, but they really don't care about the safety of the patient because they only crucify you if you make the error, but don't send the corrected report through. Hope that helps put your mind at ease. Don't worry about seeing errors because they won't get the corrected report to the doctor anyway.

Signed reports cannot be fixed by MTSOs. Only - the client can fix that...sm

[ In Reply To ..]
When I worked at the hospital, once the physician signed the report, it was a headache to make changes to it. Even being on-staff at the facility, we would have to go through the trouble of totally recreating the report and cancelling the other one out the system.

This is something companies cannot do, only the facilities. Once that document is signed by the physician the MTSOs have no way of making any changes to it.

They can resend - the reports

[ In Reply To ..]
to the facilities. I have caught something that I missed or something in reports and asked somebody to fix it and they did and resent it.

Turn your gaze upward. - sm

Errors are a direct result of faulty speech-recognition technology and the pitifully low wages being paid to correct it. The responsible party is not the MT, who is slaving away at this mind-killing toil just to survive into the next day, but the avaricious parasites at the top. No matter how often the old "patient safety" guilt trip is called into service, the blame will always lie with the actions of those in charge. This is how capitalism works. When we embrace a system that values profit over people, we have no grounds for demanding compassion from the very people who are being exploited. What of compassion for the lowly MT? If we were truly concerned about patient safety, we would collectively demand that working conditions improve and that wages be increased so that these errors need not be a necessity in order that the MT may survive. When you go out of your way to report your fellow workers for trying to feed their families, you have aligned yourself with and are abetting the very sociopaths who are most responsible for this situation and thus most deserving of rebuke.

You could and should report it to your Quality Coach and then they could take a look and see just who is making the mistake, and if they are making more mistakes.

I got a rather lengthy dictation by the most horrifying ESL physician who happened to be dictating next to the emergency room radio for traumas or something similar (bad dictator + lots of radio noise + already noisy emergency room).

I spent an enormous amount of time in the report, and yet I was still not careful enough not to make 2 very stupid mistakes. Yes, they ...

So let me get this straight: I want to put a physician's name in the report. I hit CTRL + N and start typing the last name. Before, it was nice. The search would happen automatically. NOW I have to tell it to search (even for mandatory ADT names when you hit enter to get to the physician lookup)? Why? That is another keystroke that is wasted, and add to that, it was nice before that if you hit the letter 's' it would scroll to all the docs with last name ...

I have a client that will be implementing an Epic EMR. Epic has indicated to them that the providers can dictate a "partial dictation" during a note they are entering. Epic offers them the option to have the transcriptionist transcribe that note directly into Epic. So far, I have only been able to find MTSOs and in-house MTs who use the partial dictation feature, but have kept their old software platform (i.e., eScription, Nuance, etc) and the provider dictates into that s ...

We use a Word-based (2003) platform and when the documents are finished, they are automatically uploaded into Meditech.
