How to prove I pended a dictation? - questionmark


Posted: May 10, 2013

Is there any way to prove that I pended a report? I got 3 points deducted in Fiesa for supposedly not pending 3 incomplete reports. I remember doing these because they were all from the same dictator and were all 3 in a row. I remember typing DICTATION ENDS HERE and pending them. Can anyone help?

The only way is to ask your sup - SM

to do an audit or paper trail on it. However, I don't know if that will prove anything. I also don't know if they can just run an audit for any reason they want. It may have to go above your immediate supervisor. It's possible that the QA person who grabbed the report simply deleted your pend message, not necessarily on purpose, but they made a mistake. I don't know if QA simply deleting a message and uploading the report would show up in a paper trail or audit. I would hope it would, but you just can never tell. I hope you get this figured out. I felt something in the pit of my stomach just reading this message because I recall wondering about certain things that happened to me.

Wont help now but I keep notebook with job numbers and - a P if I pended it. Make notes about SM

about issues with a job. It takes a second and is proof of what you did with that job.

If by chance you are on - sm

Laid Off On-site Job; How Can I Prove M-Modal Will Be A Cut In Pay Of 28% Or More
Apr 18, 2013

We were told at the hospital where we work that we are laid off (but cutoff date not given...probably in a month). They're "offering" us jobs with MModal. We already know it's a horrible company. Unemployment wants us to prove that working for M-Modal will pay us at least 28% less than we're now earning.  Can anybody send me to a website or validate that working for M-Modal is going to be a pay demotion?  HR said if we don't join M-Modal, who they're contractin ...


Pended Reports To QA
Jan 01, 2013

Is it just me or does anyone else have this prob.  When I am reviewing my reports that I have pended to QA for blanks, I am now noticing where some of the "regular" QA people aren't quite as hard on me - however, there is one particular QA person whose name I have never seen before and that person is BRUTAL with my reports - it is just downright pathetic - worse than the other QA people ever were. Maybe this QA person isn't new to QA but just new to me. I feel so darn incompetent ...


Counting Pended Lines
Mar 05, 2015

So far this week, I have pended 300 lines to QC -- all VR lines -- those are the *actual* lines.  If counted as converted lines, then it's only 150 lines.  Do they "convert" those pended lines for VR?  They should - if we don't get paid for a full line of VR, then we shouldn't get charged for pending full VR lines.  Dontcha think?? ...


So Tired Of Getting Dinged For Item That Was Pended
Feb 27, 2015

I have a very low pending rate.  I very rarely have to pend, but there was a discrepancy in the header so I pended it and explained that in the box.  I get a QC1 review (I know this doesn't count but it doesn't make it any less stupid!!) with a 1.0 major error for the very thing I pended it for.  This in no way makes sense.  I requested a reversal (Know it makes no difference, it's the irritation).  I put it in the comments and asked them to please explain ...

Ooooh!  This gets me.  This is an NP who is dictating acute care - "The patient comes in with a diagnosis of non-insulin dependent diabetes 'myelitis'."  Puhleeze!  The same dictator pronounces "organomegaly" as "organomeglea."  It's like hearing someone scratching their fingernails down a blackboard.  Shouldn't these people have had enough schooling to be able to sound out words?! ...

Echo Dictation
Jul 23, 2011

For those who work with echo dictation -  from what I understand, it's useful for straight transcribing, but does it work in VR? I'm thinking of investing in it, but can't understand how it would be useful in a VR program, which is where everything will be in just a few years.  I would think it wouldn't work in a non-Word program since you can't cut and paste, and even if it did, you'd be editing twice.  Thanks for any info! ...
