Gotta pass this one along ... sm

What exactly is pass record tool? This is the only definition/reference I can find for dictated PASSR (spelled by dictator) and not sure it is even medical. We are suppose to expand abbreviations unless unsure of definition and I hate to send blanks to QA if I can avoid it. ...

Gotta wonder if all these patients with "poor hearing acuity" are really deaf or just can't understand the doctor (which I can totally identify with, but feel my hearing acuity is fine). So patients are at fault also if they can't understand the doctor? ...

I am just so exasperated right now! I'm a new MT, been at it a little over 3 months. I think the company I work for is pretty good. We have mostly good dictators, good platform, plenty of work, and nice QA and staff. I type 70 wpm, and I add to my word expander and autocorrect daily. Our minimal required line count per week is 6,000, and I'm only averaging about 3,500 to 3,800. I'm putting in 50 hours or a little more and still can ...

ASR: tachy fell axis I am wiping the tears from my eyes on this one. What a stupid program. I swear it is written by the Indians. I had a wonderful English-speaking clear-as-day doctor yesterday, first name of Daniel, and the ASR did not get 75% of his dictation. It was just words and gibberish. It was a crying shame. That could have been a helpful tool in that instance. It should have been able to transcribe him perfectly and editing should have ...

what do you do if you find out you need to take a day or day and a half to attend symposium (need the CECs for my CMT) and it's during the first 90 days? should you forget it and skip the symposium, or would you ask to be off and make up your time? ...

Okay guys, I just have to vent because I know many of you share the same frustrations and will understand where I'm coming from. I've got over 10 years of transcription experience and I'm making $10 an hour. This is a $5 per hour cut from what I made in a larger city before I had to move to a smaller one in a different state. I got divorced earlier this year and this is no longer enough to survive on for me with just one income in the household now. I pride myself on being a good, ...

On my semi-yearly quality analysis, I achieved 98.8%, the best I've done in three years. I am a happy camper! ...

After not being audited since last August, I just received an audit. Do you suppose it was because I went over my CCM's head and complained to her supervisor about not hearing from her regarding the loss of a 10 minute report when DQS went down? I thought they were going to slam me but, lo and behold, a near-perfect audit. They gotta be getting desperate for MTs who can transcribe this crap and make it even moderately coherent. Next time I think I'll leave profu ...

transcribed: feet 1/2 pill a Rubin. instead of bilirubin,,so close so close... ...

I've got a gripe. I hope this is not too long but would really like suggestions if any of my fellow MTs have been in this predicament. If you are QA turned MT, don't bother to reply. I don't need sarcasm to start my day. The company I worked for went into partnership with another company. The new company even changed the name of the company and the new partner is the president of the company. We're supposed to make all complaints to her; however ...

Gee whiz, Nuance's revenue was up approximately 34% in the 3rd quarter ending June 2012 especially in their healthcare market. This sickens me IMO. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nuance-announces-third-quarter-fiscal-2012-results-2012-08-07 ...

I am doing a dictation from a doctor who sounds like he's got a mouth full of mush. His speech is slurred and I can't understand half of what he's saying. As a result, this report is going to QA with so many blanks in it that it looks like Swiss cheese. At this point I really don't care any more. I've had it up to my eyeballs with this guy and everyone like him. If I could afford to quit, I would right now. ...

Feeling so frustrated that MDs can't be bothered to articulate... The company I work for "dings" me for blanks...but their QA is merciless about mistakes. (Non-critical, stupid grammatical issues, i.e., "The son agreed with the plan" versus "HIS son agreed with the plan.") I am feeling like I can't do this anymore. I am GOOD at what I do, but when audio sucks, what do they expect? I am screwed no matter what I do. If I made more than $13 an hour, (which took me ye ...

Why is it that when a doctor cannot pronounce a medication they will spend FIVE minutes TRYING to sound it out and STILL leave me with no clue what they are trying to say, when it would be MUCH quicker if they could just SPELL it? I mean if you can't pronounce it, just SPELL it, even if you spell it wrong, I can find it quicker from it being spelled to me incorrectly than having to decipher out how you MIGHT be pronouncing it! Just my rant for today, lol. ...

I was actually gonna go for it with the increased days and lower line count ...

CRITICAL ERRORS - Okay, a patient comes into the hospital, gravely ill. They take some xrays (I am radiology so I use that example). Maybe a CT or an MRI. The radiologist is allerted this is a rush because the patient is so ill, he calls the report to the MD taking care of the patient to let him know what he sees. Then, after he calls the report, he dictates it, and I type it...I make a mistake and put, lets say, no congestive heart failure noted, because he mumbles and talks ...

VR transcribed. "The patient came in and from the bikini was not feeling good." ...

I've taken all of these tests one after another and some I pass, some I don't. I have the experience and did QA for 5 years, so I have no idea why I'm not passing them. I'm growing tired and weary. Anyone else having problems testing? ...

Does it seem like no matter what you do it is not good enough? Here lately it seems like they only audit the worst dictator. The only reports they have audited for me lately have been ESLs lately. Maybe that is their way of trying to get rid of me. Maybe they want to thin the herd and just send it all to India. I just hope to find something soon outside of MT. I have been looking. ...

Is this really true? I was already on the fence about it....I despise ADHI but at the same time realize having CMT could possibly help find a job and sometimes (rarely) get a CMT diff. Not to mention the test cost $300 whether you pass or not. So now you have to pay to pass the RMT? This can't be true. I mean, if you can pass the CMT you should be able to pass the RMT w/o having to PAY for it. ...

Someone just asked, so I'll answer. Yes, it is very possible. I graduated 1 1/2 years ago from Andrews School but then waited to take the exams (personal reasons). I just started back on track to get the credentials. I passed the CPC this fall and passed the CCS this week. Even with the long delay between the end of school and my credentialing exams, I passed both on the first try. I have NOT worked a single day as a coder. I am ...

I, I think like a lot of the MTs on here are getting fed up with Express Scribe and the fact that you have to go to the Pro Version and downgrade to the free. Stupidly on Thursday, I removed my copy of ES to install the version that the company I was going to work for uses. Well, now, I cannot even configure the footpedal unless I purchase the product or one of their footpedals (my footpedal is an IN-USB-1 which has worked on Express Scribe in the past), but now, it is not even on th ...

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 on it. My old computer had Word 2003 and Steadmans 2006 installed on it. I could not get the Steadmans 2006 to load on the new computer so as a result, I went for the 15-day trial of Spellex, since Stedman's doesn't offer anything like that. I called Spellex today (and BTW, they are based in Tampa, FL), and said that I would not be able to purchase the program until next Friday and I only had 2 days left of my ...

Does anyone have a clue about the pass/fail that is in Fiesa today? Just noticed mine and I suppose it has something to do with the changes rolling out but I couldn't remember if we had received anything about it or not. Thanks! ...

It states, "Most important plenty of work. We do all we can to assure you will stay busy your entire shift. NO waiting or praying for work to come." I guess today and the last 2 months have been my imagination. ...
