What happened, ASR is off the chain - BAD


Posted: Nov 26, 2013

Not that it was ever good, but this is the worst I have seen it in a while. GERD is the favorite phrase to print when there is a pause in the action. Not to mention, it now finishes off sentences for you, right or wrong, they are there. This is getting to be ridiculous, I spend WAY too much time editing lately. And it leaves off numbers fairly regularly also now. And makes headings at the most obscure times on phrases that were never ever in any way shape of form a heading, the patient, really since when? Does anyone report this stuff or just muddle through, like I do. Because, again, I don't get paid to report this stuff, and I am pretty sure they wouldn't fix it anyway.

This has always done this in my world. I don't know why. I have a feeling a lot of the problem is that every time mine is trained they put new people on the account and it starts getting confused. We had ours to the point I could actually zip through reports, then suddenly, about 3 months ago, it just went nuts, leaving out random lab values, and its favorite? Do not under any circumstances ever put in the value under vital signs for "respirations." Make up your own medical terminology always, add entire sentences that were never dictated, by no means ever learn to spell the name of the state for the hospital I am working for...on and on. I can almost hear the stupid thing giggling at times, and I just want to do an Uncle Si...BAM!! :0) I know it's not funny, it's so maddening! But if I let it work on me, I get nauseated.

ASR - is now

putting HEENT as H ENT or HENT. Speaking of GERD, I had one patient that had aspirin reflux disease instead of gastroesophageal reflux disease. As far as your comment on them fixing it, I'm sure you have heard the phrase "you can't fix stupid."

I just wondered...has anyone ever made a mistake on a report (which was your fault and you readily admit you screwed up) and get an email stating:  please explain why you made that mistake because the client is waiting for an explanation??!!!  WTH?  Yes, I purposely made that error because I wanted too?  I enjoy making critical errors?  My error was most likely a keystroke error that I failed to catch..I admit it.  I try to be as careful as possible but I am human. ...

I started my bartending class yesterday.. first time I have done anything outside the house in 7 years.  I was terrified. I don't think I really realized how isolating and stressful working for the Q at home really was.  I had almost forgotten what it was like to interact with real people, doing something that was real and down to earth. But I had a wonderful time, terrified though I was.  I still feel like I've been totally reborn, and I am so relieved to be out of th ...

I had been typing the previous accounts for over 5 years. Since the switch two weeks ago,  I have now TEN new accounts that I type for with all new CP's, set-ups and dictators; however, I have noted AT ALL the account for which I had previously typed which was the reason I was transferred in the first place!! Furthermore, there& ...

(I am not a "suit." :-) ) I would like to know from some of you what is the going rate now (really) for lines per hour or hourly pay and if there are even steady hours anymore. I just can't believe that this "profession" has gone downhill so much and downhill so quickly in even the last 5 years. I wonder what the next 5 years will look like or if there will even be MTs? If anyone has left the "profession" because they just can't make a living doing this anymore, what are you doing n ...

That is when I got a new CSM and they said they were "restructuring" and some CSMs were going to deal only with MTs and some only with customers.  My new CSM said her old MTs were always running out of work because THEY said the average MT could do "x amount" of dictation and most of hers could do twice that, and so when she got the "new-to-her" MTs and accounts, then we all started running out of work. ...

Just Wondering Whatever Happened
Jan 07, 2010

I was bored and reading posts today when I realized that the poster known as "Pug Mom" seems to have disappeared into thin air.  I don't know when she disappeared because today is the first day I noticed it, but she seemed to have quite a few issues going on and I was wondering if anyone knew what happened to her. Anyway, no biggie, just noticed the absence of a fellow poster and thought I'd see if anyone here knew her and if she was okay.  ...


Transcend/MDI - Has This Happened To Anyone Else?
Feb 03, 2010

I was an "MDIer" for the past year and 2 days ago we became Transcend.  Even though I was considered part-time with MDI, I was really FT because of the hours/reports I typed (radiology).  Since MDI didn't offer benefits, I was excited to be given the chance for FT benefits with Transcend.  The hype from the higher-ups in e-mails made me very hopeful for the merge.  I filled out all the paperwork for benefits, received my dental and vision cards and yesterday the bombshel ...

QA Question....has This Happened To You?
May 06, 2010

As stated in my previous post, I have been typing all new accounts for the last 2 weeks with no training whatsoever. I got a "critical error" report back because of the number of blanks I had put into the report and sent directly to the client. When reviewing the report, I noticed that some of the blanks were not caused by me at all, but by the QA person rewording the dictation to his/her liking. Furthermore, this QA person had re-added in prohibited abbreviations where I had taken them out (add ...


What Happened To MT Career?

I am reading on this board and seeing that people from Medquist are being let go, places are being bought out, hospitals are selling in-house to the outside services now.  The services charge a decent amount of money to these hospitals, but we see pennies of it.  What is sad is that what we do is very important, yet we are treated like all we do is type words (and anyone who has done ESL docs know it isn't just words - it's format, it's incorrect pronunciation, inco ...
