ILPs lose big accounts in SA4/south - clients unhappy

Posted: Apr 08, 2010

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.

ILPs - mt

I was under the impression that all work coming back from ILPs was given a final QA by Americans so it would be HIPAA/HITECH compliant and have an American MT's initials on it. I guess I was wrong.

I hope I get my primary back!

You're right, but most of it comes back for - blanks only - not full QA

So even though it is vetted by an American QA's initials -- it is crap unless the American QA did a full QA, thereby earning maybe 2 bucks an hour for the trouble.

Every time I let my eyes stray from blanks I inevitabily see GROSS errors in English grammar or in meaning and obvious mishearings and just plain nonsensical stuff. (Despite that discussion recently where some MMEs said they saw only really great ILP reports -- I have never seen a great one. Only messes.)
So lots of errors in English and misunderstanding of dictation have been going to the clients.

thank you for the info - this completely answers..sm

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 ...

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- ...

Does it seem that the ILPs are leaving blanks for anything and everything lately? I mean, most of the stuff is clear as day. Then it goes through 2 ILP QA and they can't get it either, although I have long since realized that the other levels of QA don't even look at the report but just send it on anyway. After about a year of being trying to be super MME and fixing all the ILP errors in their report (usually 10-20+ per report), I decided I didn't care about it ...

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 ...

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 ...

is that correct? If so, are CB and DF still involved? I love Bayscribe, and I was thinking about biting the bullet and applying to Nuance for some PT work, but I kind of butted heads with the 2 ladies and so I don't want to waste my time. Thanks for your input. ...

With the number feature, we just do Ctrl Sft L and all that is put in, but now we will not get paid for typing these and we will not get paid for the commands either... Same with the headings.

"They" were actually referring to a different incident, a few days before this one, where I had signed off after being bounced around for 1-1/2 hours and could not make heads nor tails of the ESL dictators. I had sent in an explanatory note that time too. Anyway --- there was a viable two-way conversation. They didn't make a big deal out of the form -- told me to just sign it and forget about it --and it eventually will fade into remote history. For me, it's fine be ...

Okay-- finally got a few jobs to do after hours of NJA. But I lost my rhythm. I don't even know what to do with them. I feel like a cat looking at some strange object on the floor and tapping it with its paw. What are those two weird things in my queue? I look at them. Then I check my email. Then I look at the things in the queue again. Then I go get something to drink. In the back of my mind, it seems like there is something I need to do about those things in my queue, but I can' ...

Once again, I was down to my last few jobs, but hurrying to get them because I could tell from the list of jobs that someone else was eating up the dictation too. I had my download setting on 2 jobs. I was zipping through a 30-second dictation set to 150% playback, and once that was done, I was planning to do the other job in my queue and maybe one more, before there was no more work. But when I finished the 30-second job, the other job in my queue was gone, and all the jobs had vanish ...

I really would like to know the answer to this and wonder how to find out the true answer. Some (all?) of the hospitals are very demand and critical, so its impossible to believe they want their work to go to India. MQ is screwing up royally with their software for the MT's so I can imagine it is just as bad for the hospitals. My question is why is there and why has there been so little work throught the entire US? ...
