FINALLY, getting out of Nuance and on to BRIGHTER FUTURE AHEAD!!!

You know, I just stumbled upon this website a week or so ago. Reading some of your post have really opened my eyes as to how lucky I am to have my position. I am semi-new to the MT world. I work for a wonderful company, but it makes me sad to see everyone has to put up with just insane working conditions from other companies. I hope all of you find companies that realize you are their biggest asset. They cannot make deadlines, or quality goals without the hard work that all of you ...

....that says that Nuance is not doing well. It's stocks are down and they are losing accounts to more advanced speech technology. It also goes to say that there is a possibility that Nuance will be sold. ...

Does anybody know if the companies mentioned will be absorbed or had been bought by Nuance recently? ...

After over a year from the acquisition of my company, Nuance decided to end the ICs and make us employees. Guess I starve again. ...

MT group to provide more training programs (The Philippine Star) Updated March 08, 2010 12:00 AM MANILA, Philippines - The Medical Transcription Industry Association of the Philippines Inc. (MTIAPI) recently concluded its first short but intensive course in Basic Medical Coding and Billing held at the Philippine Trade Training Center. The training was a result of collaborative efforts by the MTIAPI, CITEM-DTI and Media Focus. “The Medical Coding and Billing Training is onl ...

I just wanted to know if it was possible! I am nit picked to death by our whatchamacallit person who audits (I think they changed their title again?) For the past 2 audits I only came in at 97%. I think we are suppose to be at 98.9%, but they are all stupid things... like a hyphen or a comma. I forget sometimes that standard grammar may not apply to MT, but if it was stated in the AAMT BOS or client profile I tend to do it! All 3 of the reports pulled were ...

this wonderful company is going to do for us this year?;) I still have my clock made in China! LOL What was that, 2005? ...

I've read in quite a few posts here that one of the ways to speed up your editing process is to read ahead of the highlighter. I've also read that some people read up to a whole sentence ahead. I cannot believe that people do this. What if the doctor says something that you didn't catch? Sometimes sentences make sense and you are not aware that the doctor said something because you were paying attention to correcting the draft. Can someone explain to me how you do this without mak ...

So my company is moving everyone from IC to employee on Jan 1. Pros: PTO days, insurance for FT, and they deal with taxes. Cons: I don't need their insurance. I want the "employer paid" portion in my check, which we won't get. Expected daily production went up. Level to reach incentive pay went up and not calculated daily. CPL rate went down 15%! And that's for standard transcription, not VR. Just in production pay alone, I'm losing $100-150 per pay period. Even wh ...

This particular doc is super-annoying. He word salads/mumbles/sputters/, says things he thinks are funny and then laughs at his own "joke" (as in "I told the patient not to set himself on fire again while smoking crack heh-heh-heh"), and tonight he clearly and deliberately enunciated a phrase and then said, "I thought you people would have gotten this by now." WTF??? Among other things, this guy could not key in the correct number of a report if there were only 1 button on hi ...

so tired of these "failed audit" emails. God forbid I get a 99.5. Please reply with how you are going to change this in the future. Slow down. Sorry I can't F'ing slow down i have kids to feed and you cut my pay over $5000 last year. so fire me and let me collect UE and foodstamps. OH WAIT you can't because you are constantly out of TAT and begging for people to work because they are all quitting or you fired them already. My bad ...

I have to say, I never really believed everyone on this board when they were saying they are trying to get rid of the high-producing employees, etc, but I am now seeing it in action. Believe every word you have read here. I NEVER thought it would happen to be me, been with Medquist (or some company snapped up by it) for over 10 years. I have now failed my second audit in a row. It is almost like they just searched and searched for reports until they found ones they could ...

Can you tell it has been about 5 years since I have done ortho surgery! I tried to hear volar, plantar, articular, raw, anything I knew, but just couldn't. Here is the whold sentence: The medial compartment has a complex tear of the meniscal root and the posterior horn. Otherwise, meniscus is normal s/l caratoid/caroid surface of grade 1 to 2 changes, but no significant thinning. Thanks! ...

thank you, but I do not think I want to work for someone so rude. I am glad I did. Maybe she will consider her actions more thoroughly before sending a response next time. I sure hope so. I am glad I did that, too. ...

Many have said that MT is not what it once was. Here's a topic: What is/could be the future of medical transcirption? Diane ...

I was told not to enter the medical transcription field because it was not going to exist in about five or six years. Is this true? I really want a job that is professional and allows me to work at home as well. Thanks ...

Wondering what thoughts are on this article. I believe MT is changing but is not a dying profession. ...

Iâ��ve been doing more research into the future of the MT field and I find that it is morphing into something I do not want to be a part of. Are EMR/EHR really cutting down transcription costs/jobs? If you goggle this you will find a huge disparity of opinion from â��goal being to have no transcriptionists whatsoeverâ�� at one extreme to â��all this new fangled stuff is just some new toys for the kids to play withâ�� being at the other. Some are on the fence and some are crying itâ��s a ...

I am a former MT who is going to school for Health Informatics. I worked as a transcriptionist for over 20 years. Two and a half years ago our team was told the organization we worked for was going to voice recognition and our jobs were being phased out which is when I chose to go back to school. I am writing my final paper on “The Future of Medical Transcription – Is There One?” I would like to get information from other transcriptionists on this ...

Hello to everyone on MTStars. I've been reading all these posts for weeks. My hospital announced in Jan. that we would get laid off in July b/c they had decided to go with M*Modal. After everything I have read here you could not beat me with a stick to apply for M*Modal; even though that is what they wanted us to do. I've come to terms with it. I am at peace. I have been transcribing for 16 years, and have made EXCELLENT money, $25-30/hour. If this is the ...

Anybody still there? After months of shoving MModal down our throats they just sent an email out on how to fix the spellchecker in the program! Do you think that should have been done before forcing this on MTs? Looks like there is no turning back, they are just forcing the issue and you can either make less than minimum wage, WAY less, or take a hike as many of us have been told. A ton of work in regular SR every day because looks like everyone is in fact leaving but at the same time, m ...

I am beginning to think that the future with VR and point-and-click plus offshoring means that the work that is remaining will be just a little bit from a bunch of different accounts, meaning we have to navigate through a bunch of different account specs for those MTs left. My old account went completely offshore, the new account I was transferred to went completely over to Epic and my new assignment has me with 3 accounts and the work is dried up so I will have to ask for more. The ...

Recently, I saw several posts about TSMs being let go, about other things that are changing in the different regions. Will that be happening across the board I wonder? Are these changes in place right now? Thank you for your input. ...

Well, just saw a report on my local news that one of the hospitals in my area is trying out the Dragon Medical voice/rec system, where they are doing it directly at the hospital right into the medical record. Allegedly it is just a pilot program, but it showed the doctor looking at a computer screen and dictating into the machine, and the text would appear directly on the computer. Then he can read what he said and put it directly into the chart. Then any doctor in the hospital ...

I don't mean to start a downer post here, but I sincerely want to know if there is a future for MT work. I see posts by a few who have succeeded, at least somewhat, in the MT world. However, these are very few. Then there are those who were happy just to find a job, but a few months later, were let go because of no work. There are some whom I know to be conscientious workers who were fired out of the blue. Could this just be the company losing accounts and placing t ...

I'm currently an MT, wanting to change careers. In your opinion, what are the chances of coding going the way of MT with outsourcing to foreign countries and/or technology cutting back the number or coders needed? Any opinions would be appreciated. I'm thinking about starting classes. ...

Go to this website. Transcriptionists will no longer be needed in the future for transcribing or editing. One of my friends told me the hospital she retired from is going to this system and their transcription department will eventually no longer exist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGMEf11GmBo ...
