ASR audit - kittykat


Posted: Feb 10, 2011

I got 2 ASR audits lately.  Is everyone getting them?  I only do about 50 ASR reports a month and they seem to think I use my mouse too much.  I am dangernous with short-cut keys.  I tend to not stop to think and hit the wrong key and something goes whacky.  I always know where my mouse is!  Anyway, we run out of work at least 3 nights a week.  Am I supposed to master the short-cut keys so I can do my work faster and run out of work sooner and sit here longer and stare at my screen?  What is their problem!  I make over my quota about 95% of the time and with no incentive, they wiill make more money.  Go figure.

Yeah, I got one recently. Did not read it, just deleted it. There are some on here that say we mouse-users need to get with it. Whatever! If you can do it with 3-finger keystrokes faster, so be it. I personally can do if faster with my mouse and am not going to change. I also get more than my quota and really don't care what they say. For those of you who think we will be left behind by not getting "proficient" with ASR, we are very proficient, just do it differently than you. I am a whole lot more proficient than the ASR is. Still trying to teach it the same things for the past 3 years and it doesn't learn.

Unteachable ASR = Job security. - nm

We're probably with the same company. After the industry's - let people sink or swim for years, ours

is stepping in to help its people replace obsolete work methods with new so they can make better incomes. Not just those who've been sinking for years and now making half what they used to, but everyone with more room to develop.

I've been using all the main shortcuts for a lot more years than I was with this company and am using virtually all the custom ones, and I think they're GREAT. Adopting them all together would be like trading in the old Hyundai for a Jaguar.

Not everything works yet for me either, though. I do a lot of ASR, but my reports typically require a lot of correction. So far I just can't use the highlighter all the time or stop using the foot pedal altogether as recommended, though I sure would like to. Giving that poor old foot even occasional breaks feels wonderful. I'd love to allow it to retire altogether, even if the rest of me can't. :)

BTW: Regarding 3-finger shortcuts, some seem very easy to me just as they are, but for those that seemed awkward I just assigned them an expander shortcut. Don't like Crl+Alt+L? Name it U instead.

Too many cooks in the kitchen following slightly - different recipes. SM

Too many voices, too many different ways that pple edit. Yes, they are suppose to all do it the same, but there are too many trainers to ensure that.

ASR is just not meant for the many doctors that dictate. Maybe on a personal computer it will get to know your voice, but not at the magnitude it has to with this many people. I have had doctors that speak plain as day and it can't get it right. People say it is the wave of the future, but I personally think it will phase out when lawsuits start flying because of it. Or, perhaps it is the wave of the future, as people just don't care about quality anymore, which is obvious in everything I see on TV or read in papers. There are so many typos it is not even funny. We have just lowered our standards in this country and others, so corporations can make more money. Quality work was lost many years ago.

you just described ACUSIS. - (laughing)

Used to think OS was unteachable but they do jobs - now with no input from US. SM

If ASR does get properly trained, the market for US editors with plummet.

Afraid that's true, SM. I'm a few years from retirement - so holding on. After all,

medicine is always growing, so even if numbers plummet hopefully a significant number of jobs will still be available. My plan is to have one of them.

I Got An Audit!!!
Nov 12, 2009

My score was 96.6.  All the reports docked were ASR reports, missing a few things here and there like leaving in oven instead of correcting to even - well, you get the gist.  There were no critical mistakes. Not once, in all my years working for hospitals or doctors have I had an aduit.   I'm wondering if it's just that ASR is only a year old to me and that's why I'm having issues.  Oh well.     ...

Apr 22, 2010

Does anyone know the rules for placing an MT on 100% audit.  Do you have to fail 2 audits in a row or just 2 audits.  I failed in Feb, passed in March and will probably fail in April.  The point system is whacked in my opinion, but my opinion doesn't really count.  It is probably listed somewhere on MQ Central but I find navigating that system is somewhat like navigating a maze.  Unless you know where to find it, it takes forever.  I have sent an e-mail to my Q ...

Can Someone Tell Me How Many Reports Are QA'ed For Each Audit?
Jun 02, 2010

last week and that is all that were done.  Score 97.8. :(  I don't agree with the errors but what can you do.  So, out of the approx 40 plus reports I did per day last week, only THREE were audited and that will cause me to fail my audit?  I haven't heard from anyone about this yet--could that mean that they are not done and will audit more reports?  I hope so, because then my score will probably go up as those 3 reports were unfamiliar accounts, ESLs...... ...

Later I was transferred to another TSM. Wednesday I got an email that after multiple complaints from a specific doctor, all his reports were 100% QA and my report had failed the audit (barely). Nothing from TSM yet, but I am off Sunday and Monday. I wish I could quit so bad, but can't afford it. If I get fired and apply ...
