Who is left who can perform 99.6% auditing on us? - The Typing Dead


Posted: Nov 09, 2013

Seriously, the only person I trusted for corrections was my QC.  If they are not going to be doing the audits, who is?  MMEs are just upper grade MTs who were suckered into working for less pay.  MModal has fired/laid off/chased off most of their competent MTs.   I can hardly wait until I get my first (and probably last) required audit.  A 99.6% accuracy requirement from this company of corporate incompetents is hysterically funny.

Transferred yet again - old and burned out

About a week ago I was transferred once again. My new PC (formerly QC, I guess) is the pickiest one I have ever had. Though I have passed almost all my audits in the past I can see that I will never pass one with her (assuming they keep her). I've already told them I will not work for any less money so am waiting to see what she does or if my next paycheck is considerably less, whichever comes first. And, BTW, have been at this for over 40 years.

It's sad that audits seem to be focusing mainly on - punctuation errors SM

which really mean nothing in the long run. That's what "quality" should mean, accuracy of the medical language that affects patient care. A misplaced comma or a semicolon is not going to kill a patient. You'd think some of these morons in 'management' could pick up on such a simple concept.

audits - anon

And that's why I have refused to let audits bother me if I fail one over punctuation. If it is a med dose wrong or lab value incorrect (which are not the cases of audits I fail) then I can't let it get to me.

The reason they do it - old and burned out

is so they can tell you that you are on 100% QA and therefore making 3 cents per line less.

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood but in a word, NO. 1.  The VR is terrible. 2.  The sound quality for the most part is terrible. 3.  The client profiles are conflicting and confusing. 4.  I have to repopulate the ADT because the tech people can't fix that. 5.

How Do You Perform A Search On Prior Reports In The EMDAT/Inscribe Platform?
Mar 19, 2013

I am looking for a way to search for terms and/or phrases across all reports using the Prior Report feature in the EMDAT/Inscribe program. For example, I pull up the prior progress notes for Dr. **** because I am looking for some of the phrases he uses in the Physical Exam section or a particular phrase or a word, etc. Is there a search feature where I can type in “Physical Exam” and the program will search and stop on each of these instances from the prior report listing until I fin ...


Auditing
Jan 23, 2015

if they review at all of our work but because most are 100 percent, they don't upload to Fiesa, just choose ones with 99 percent or below and occasionally throw in one that is 100 percent to make it look good!!  I do NOT trust anythng they do and would not put it past them. We have no way of listening to even make sure that what they audit us on is accurate.  I am so paranoid that I think they may even change things that we type to make it an error!  So disgusted..... ...


Qualified For Auditing
Mar 31, 2010

Since Audits are affecting us so deeply at this point and possibly costing us our livelihood, I began to wonder WHO is doing the auditing?  We have lost most of the decent QA people (or will as of tomorrow when nothing will be routed to QA anymore).  I know that several of the CTLs, CCMs or whatever the acronym of the hour is currently called, have been morons and sent out E-mails filled with grammatical and punctuation errors, and some have not even been MTs before.  Shouldn ...

New Auditing Team

Alas, our 99.6% audits are no longer being done by our local BOB QA person but by an official MModal auditing team.  I wonder if they are as illiterate as the Mmodal corporate types.  Happy Halloween, now that's scary.  Kind of makes me picture the 3 witches in Macbeth, toiling over a pot of our work, creating mayhem. ...

Does Anyone Know The Pay For The Advertised Auditing Jobs?

Just wondering if it's worth the transition in this company or if I should get away from Scruance entirely. (I love that word. Thank you to the original author.) To me, the fact that they are advertising for MANY auditors is extremely telling. I don't buy the 1% to 2% of a day's reports being audited. I think it will be much higher than that in order to SCREW us even more. ...


More Inconsistency With Post-Auditing...
Jan 04, 2015

Late last week I recieved an email communication about how they will only audit reports that were transcribed/edited during the current work week, only to log on this morning (I'm off Fri and Sat, so Sun morning is the 1st day of my week) to find that I had a post audit score below 99% that was audited on Saturday, so obviously it was edited last week sometime.  If I don't start my week until Sunday, how on earth can they audit a report on Saturday that was submitted the week prio ...

Auditing Reports From "helper" Accounts?
Aug 24, 2012

Up until now (12 years with this company) I have not failed an audit, always 99% or above, and they do an audit once a month on my accounts plus the client audits. We recently were given "helper" accounts for 2 days when our work got low and I was more than happy to help out, as always. There were many difficult ESL dictators and complicated CPs. I did not think they chose reports from unfamiliar "helper" accounts to do their monthly audits as it had never happened to me before, but I was ...
