ILPs getting worse? - to the MMEs

This company's written test says that I can't use any references, but based on the questions they're asking, I'd have to be a doctor to be able to answer them! So am I to assume that I can't use references when I work either? So sick of jumping through hoops for these companies... ...

on Fluency. I have had problems with it all day. ...

Okay, this isn't a big deal and just a pet peave of mine, but have you noticed that the ILPs have a habit of rearranging the order things are dictated to match some unspecified format? For example, no matter what order dictated in the PE, they always put the vitals first, general, HEENT, heart, lungs, etc. Sometimes dictators like to put the impression and plan first on consults. The ILPs always move them to the bottom. Labs are always underneath the PE. On certain ...

Our PC sends out group stats and I see some really crazy errors listed as "corrections." ...

Just to make sure we are going through them 100%. The mistakes are unbelievable. For example: Dictator says clearly (values are different because I can't remember them): platelet count 100,000, eosinophils 20%. What is typed: platelet count 100,000, insulin glucagon level 20%. What?! Must have been sleeping through that ASR. Why isn't ASR learning again? I get these weird mistakes all the time, even on non- ...

The MM ASR has been resembling what I have seen when I have read ILP work. I am so tired of this constant correction of stinking output. No improvement and often backsliding in the output, and yet we were sent an email by corporate thanking us for collaborating with them to improve the output (?). Everything they thanked us for, I have been told they wouldn't do and don't bother to submit tickets for (like misspellings). Can't wait until I get a new job! Just another se ...

They're the darlings of this company, after all. ...

Okay. I just finished watching the videos and the HIPPA presentation. Now that they've put the fear of God in all of us, just how the heck can the Q, with a straight face, suggest or promise to a health care provider that they (the Q) can assure the client the PHI can be guaranteed when sending work to a group of employees who live several continents away and who do not speak English as a primary language. What a crock!!!! How many health care providers know their ...

Seriously, a lot of them were just like editing a so-so ASR report. Punctuation awful, sound-alike words mixed up frequently (wear/ware/where, whether/weather). Things are typed very word-for-word, like ASR would do. Tenses are horrendous. They can follow the CP though. Anybody who comes on here stating that ILPs aren't that bad and/or have better English usage than us have either never really proofread an ILP report, have proofread but aren't very good themsel ...

have they struck yet again? why don't "they" get back to work and leave us alone. ...

CCM sent notice that we'd be getting the lots of work from K*** facilities back from ILPs, and finally happening. Surely more facilities will see that getting what they're paying for is A MAJOR MISTAKE, and demand US MTs do their work. ...

I get really good dictators and the stupid machine screws up what is said and I am changing things all the time! It is very frustrating and I should be getting more pay than I am because of this crap! ...

Been sitting here a lot of the morning with NJA. Then I finally get a 500+ second job and by George if it isn't a female resident who sounds like one of the Lollipop Guild from the Wizard of Oz. I can't win anymore. Let's see -- alcohol or drugs. . . . . . ...

I thought this ASR crap was supposed to get better as it "learns" the doctors and their frequently-used phrases... didn't someone say that back in training? I'm talking about DSG in particular, but I know a lot of people use DQS ASR, so please bear with me. So, how come it now can't seem to get a single sentence without major corrections having to be done? I'm about ready to apply at McDonald's if this keeps up... my pay is about 1/3 of what it was when we did straight ...

I was terminated for reasons I won't go into here--after 9+ years at my last employer. Thing is--I was looking anyway and informed potential employers that the company just was "no longer a good fit." What finally tipped the balance was an e-mail we got a few months ago stating that after an MT had sent a certain percentage of reports to editing for comprehension issues, for instance, they would be penalized 0.03 cpl for doing so! Assuming this is legal, IMO, it's immoral ...

Now MTSO are offering 7 cents a line transcription and 3 cents editing?? When are we experienced MTs going to say enough is enough. 8 cents and 4 cents was bad enough, guess this is what they will try and get away with. ...

Hello all,I've been reading your messages regarding MedQuist and I'm a little confused about something. I see that most people are complaining about how horrible they are to work for, but what I'm wondering is, isn't working for them better than not having a job at all? I have only a little experience and am having a very difficult time finding work. I have been contacted by MedQuist and all of this talk makes me nervous. I am in dire need of a job though, so I'm thinkin ...

Had not heard of this before. Now it is automated dictation. You know how the national weather service bulletins are computer generated voices, chopping and mispronouncing words, monotone, etc.? Just got a call from a fellow MTE who is transcribing this type of dictation. Very difficult. I am disgusted. All this technology has done is add steps to to accomplish a very simple job. When I started in a doctor's office 30 years ago, we typed the dictation, pl ...

Dictator: The patient has a history of rheumatoid arthritis. ASR: The patient does have prior history of 12/11. SERIOUSLY!!! ...

Dr dictates: Levothyroxine ASR: We both. I are ox and Ludicrous! ...

I really, really need another PT job right now, already work at MM, but am really getting close to broke. I have looked and am still looking for other non-MT jobs, but need extra money now. I just look at it as temporary. I can do anything temporarily until I find something else. Is it really that bad? I read about the bad QA and FIESA. I live in Ca, so IC is out of the question. I guess I am just hoping part time will not be so stressful.&nbs ...

Like when you start a job and are on 100% QA. I am so nervous that I am missing so much that I shouldn't be missing. A lot of it is having to learn a new platform and new dictators all at the same time. For the first couple of days after their tech installed programs on my PC they were giving me instructions and the programs weren't working. They had a different tech look at my PC and one of the programs wasn't even installed. It seems like takes forever t ...

The promise of the information age was as shiny as a brand new penny: The availability of INFORMATION would make life better because we would have ready access to RELEVANT INFORMATION that would allow us to make INFORMED DECISIONS. Well, that promise assumes that people SHARE the information that they have, and hopefully do it in an honest and objective way. MT? Ummm...Not so much. I'm sick of this: "I work for a great company that has a good platform, pays well an ...

Dictated: Family history reviewed and noncontributory to his illness. SR: Reviewed and noncontributory to her buttocks. Got a good giggle on an otherwise horrible day! ...

Has anyone noticed that fairly suddenly ASR recognition has gotten much worse. I know it was pretty bad before, but now I've noticed that even with the clear dictators where in the past the ASR recognition was okay, it's now HORRIBLE. Weren't we promised the ASR would get BETTER with time. Didn't they LOWER our pay when they said it got better before. So, wouldn't it only be fair to move the pay back UP now that it is so horriible and NOT improvin ...

I'm new to having to work work for a service. Recently the only work availabe has been the absolutely worst dictator I have ever done in my 25 years transcribing for hundreds of different doctors and specialties. With the platforms being used, can you tell if you are getting previous rejected jobs? There is no way to make more than $1. an hour with this guy. They also have Word programmed to delete one of the spaces between sentences, essentially a keystroke not being paid, as well as a ...
