I have no patience for the amount of corrections needed today! - had more than enough
Posted: Oct 12, 2013
I swear the speech engine just makes up the output as it has no resemblence to what the doctor says! We got a note stating we were making too many errors and our quality had gone down, with a side note that QAM knows we are struggling to maintain our counts, but this does not matter. Every once in a while I get told to slow down. Heck,I doing the best with what I have and the fatigue of doing this all day. Only minor errors such as leaving in an extra pronoun or such. I don't even think I am going to wait for school to end to get outta here. I have already been sending out resumes and applications, but I also fear my age is working against being even considered.
do you think the VR programmers ever get emails - about their error rates?
[ In Reply To ..]no, no, of course not.
When I trained it originally - sm
[ In Reply To ..]We had it working beautifully for the good dictators and acceptable for the bad. THEN, they let India have it and it went to crap fast, you could almost see the day it went global. I notice a lot more problems here lately and what that means to me, and I could be wrong, is we have been training ourselves out of a job, your account is being tested elsewhere and will be "going global" and will be gone soon.
seriously getting old - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Like this, where the heck did this come from "had a that need to have a status"
s/b
The patient is resting comfortably, not in any distress.
No matter how much you - "train"
[ In Reply To ..]the VR, unless you spend time training the idiots who use it for dictation, it will never be close to what was promised, just garbage in, garbage out.
except now it adds garbage too - just saying
[ In Reply To ..]Now it will add medications or diagnoses if there is dead air. Yesterday I had one where the doctor said the word "prepped" and ASR proceeded to add an entire paragraph full of surgical terms that if I had not been listening to the voice I would not have known the doctor never said any of it. Dangerous. Dangerous.
It adds text even when there is no dead air. - so bad
[ In Reply To ..]I would bet they are not informing buyers of their SR EMR systems of this problem. Especially dangerous as my experience with doctors doing their own ASR is they do not want to take the time or effort to check the output, and, as we know,it can be nearly impossible to spot added content without a full listen.

Out Of Patience, No Motivation.

Dictating with your kid crying right behind you?? Really?? Started the shift off getting an account out of my usual BOB, and the HPI for every single one had to be totally retyped. I don't have any more patience for the doctors who sit their breathing or thumbing through the chart or searching the electronic record without putting the dictation on hold. I find moving the audio to a place where there is dictation really helps my lph. Only "advantage" of ASR. Of course, I only go as far ...

during the no-work situation, and if I just wait a few more weeks, the holidays will be over and all of the overstaffing problems will be solved because the new accounts will start. Well, yipee. Any company that thinks they can starve me for 2-3 months while I sit and wait for crumbs of work to be doled out is suffering from some sort of delusion. I answered the email by giving my 2-week notice. Goodbye SoftScript with your PIA ticket number emails ...
MME Corrections
Jan 22, 2010
Unbelieveable..for years I have been typing comorbid, now I get a correction of co-morbid all throughout my report. In the past, I have been told to change cc to mL but then I got corrected by MME and so went back to cc, now I am corrected again that it should be mL. I have been told in the past, if it is not followup, then write it this way without a dash, follow up, no dash. Now I am corrected to put the dash in, follow-up. This is an ongoing thing with whichever ...

Three or four times in the last two days I have gotten one of those unfriendly FIESA MAJOR ERROR alerts . . . only, that's not my work. I know without a single doubt that I did not make those errors, and seemingly some of these so called 'errors,' would have been flagged by spellcheck. What's up with that? Offering rebuttal in their comment section is pointless, it's just a waste of time since no one really reviews those or sends any feedback. I'm just f ...

Recommendation For Those Ever-recurring Little Corrections.
Oct 25, 2009
You know, where you have to stop and type in a "his," "the," "no," "were," "and," or separate a run-on into 2 sentences, add a "She" to a sentence, change a letter, join 2 sentences into one, etc., because VR goofed. This has been working well for me: Use SINGLE LETTERS (T, E, F, and so on) for the very most common words and corrections. Like T for "the," N for "no," E for "was", J for "has," F for macro that toggles letter from lower to upper and upper to lower ...
ME Corrections - How To Get Them To Be Incorporated Into Speech

I have had so many dictators dictating the same PE, etc. and have to continually change the same things. Is there a way to make a heading such as CHEST from "the chest is..." work? I have one doctor whose "dilutional" is always speeched as DELUSIONAL. How can I make these corrections work. Suspect it requires a call to SUPPORT with job ID, ad nauseum documentation. I suspect that only IT can re-correct these Speech errors, and not us as was originally exp ...
Escription Corrections Don't Seem To Stick

I work on v 9, 10 and 11 and I have noticed that when I make corrections on some VR reports the corrections do not seem to stick by the time they get to QC. I have seen mistakes that I distinctly remember correcting while I am editing and then they show up as not corrected on the QC reviews. Thankfully it hasn't happened on post-audit but it is pretty upsetting. I had my TSM check a couple of them and sure enough, the mistakes were there when sent by me, so either I have become a hor ...

Same Amount Of Work, Less Pay?
Dec 04, 2013
Does anyone else suspect their company is fiddling with the software, thereby paying less to MTs for the same amount of work? I switched accounts last summer, within the same company, to a hospital that pays more, sure that my pay would increase. Lo and behold, I just noticed on my paycheck that I'll make about 5,000 to 8,000 less this year than last, and, if anything, I'm working more hours. Truly infuriating because there is no way to prove it. ...

For say a syndrome, a drug, a doctor's name/address, facility name/address, etc.? If I think I can hear the dictation correctly I do spend an extended amount of time because I KNOW I can find it. However, if it is ify as to what I am hearing or the spellings could be a dozen different things, I ususally send to QA because if I am not sure - it's probably going to end up to QA anyway. I NEVER look up a doctor's name if the first name is not dictate ...
