Now I understand why folks on here loved ambulatory. sm - AcuteCareMTNuance


Posted: Oct 28, 2014

Now I understand how there were glowing reports of being happy and making good money.  Welcome to the way acute care works ambulatory folks.  We have a pool of accounts and reports come in with the one closest to turnaroundtime first. No picking or choosing what you transcribe or edit.  Like I have 7 accounts and get all work types and dictators. At least that is how it works for my group that was swallowed up by the N.  We have a schedule and we have to stick to it unless we get permission to deviate from it (flex they call it). No longer do we have 12 hours to get our time in.

Wishing you luck and hoping you can adapt if you are planning on staying.

Sorry this is happening to you, Ambulatory folks. sm - AcuteCareMTNuance

Not for me - Oh well

I already went through that kind of scenario with MModal. I won't be sticking around for that with Nuance. I have a part-time job with no set schedule that I can move into full time if need be.

Outta here too! - h

It's not for me as well. I put in my notice no more than a week ago with emails of "what can we do for you so you will stay with us" talk. After reading the newest policies of 4-hour TAT,etc., I'm so glad I made the decision to leave this mess behind. I understand this is big business and we're tossed every which way no matter what.

I Have LOVED Being An MT On Site & At Home

I started at a hospital 2/14/94, orientation. They gave me a Valentine cookie.  It struck me then as a very nice touch.  It has just been an amazing experience/opportunity.  Especially working at home and raising my kids. We weren't rich or well off but I've so enjoyed it and really was proud of what I did.  And that confidence in myself and my capabilities and the independence that MT gave me has extended over onto my children and has influenced them ...

Questions For Current QA Folks.
Nov 02, 2010

Was wondering when the ad reads CPL for QA if that means the lines for the whole report you QA or just what you fill in for blanks.  Also, with your company, do you do feedback to the MTs?  I did QA a few years ago and do realize requirements in this position most likely are different with each company. but in that experience, I was required to give feedback on their form and it was such a cumbersome and time-consuming form, I made more doing VR/text. ...


AHDI Wants To Know Why Folks Are Not Renewing CMT.

Can't wait to mail my *reason* back to them. I can hardly wait for the mailman to collect my reply, and this is just my opinion. I'm sending the below to all three persons at AHDI named on the inquiry. 1. My company (and others nowadays) do not recognize CMT status any longer. 2. Why should I *recertify* myself to obtain a basically minimum wage-paying career, which is what the MT field has become these days, and the pay is getting lower as time goes by. I do applaud their efforts ...

When I was in school I'm sure I thought, "I don ...

On the Ambulatory side, how do we find out what our QA% is?  Is it supposed to be in FIESA?  The only report I see in FIESA is from 11/8 to 11/14 payweek and it says Accuracy 100%.  There are no reports for any other pay week. Also, how do we find out what percentage we sent to QA?  I know under the new plan if we send more thn 10% to QA we get a reduced line rate, but I have no idea how much I send to QA.  Help please? ...

Anyone Here From Ambulatory Side?
Jun 25, 2014

I was just wondering if anyone posts here that work for the Nuance Ambulatory Care side of things.  All I see here are what appears to be posts from the acute care side and they are not very favorable.  I will probably get hung on this board for saying this, but so far things are pretty good on this side of the fence.  Same managers, same good accounts, plenty of work.  Flexible schedule.  Not crazy about all the logging in to everything (WorldClient, WebClock, Spark), b ...


Another Ambulatory Nuance MT
Jul 19, 2014

I have been reading the board down a ways, about the arguments and negative comments between acute care and ambulatory care sides of Nuance.  I, too, work on the ambulatory care side and we were acquired by Nuance almost 2 years ago.  Yes, we used to be Accentus and no, except for becoming employees and the things that go with that status, nothing else has changed.  We work M-F, weekends if we want to.  We do not work holidays and the TAT reflects that on our accounts when a ...
