A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I am desperately hoping someone can help me here. I have posted 3 times without a single response. I have been offered a job at Chase Transcriptions in Ohio and have to give them my decision. I really would like to know how the company is to work for currently. I found only old postings. Thanks so much.
From what I could find, it seems to be a fairly small company. That is probably why no one on this Board works there. That could be a good thing, I guess.
The only thing I could find was the letter the President of Chase signed that was sent to Washington. In case you did not see it, I have copied a couple of paragraphs below and given the link. Maybe you can garner some information about the company by what its President stands for.
Good Luck
The President of Chase was one of the 45 MTSO Executives and members of MTIA who wrote/signed a letter to Washington regarding implementation of EHR.
"On behalf of the medical transcription industry, a sector representing approximately 1,700 employers, 300,000 healthcare documentation professionals, and $15 billion in annual revenue, we are writing to you concerning how the industry can help accelerate successful electronic health record (EHR) adoption. We support the federal government’s multi-billion-dollar investment in EHRs because we believe it has the potential to improve quality of care, increase patient safety, and reduce healthcare costs if all aspects of the health data management industry are included in the process.
...
Consistent formatting and coding will help improve the flow of information between narrative reports and EHRs, thereby enabling physicians to use the detailed and information-rich data in narrative reports for clinical decision-making. Using the tacit knowledge and expertise of medical transcriptionists in the documentation process will help ensure that patient records are accurate, complete, and consistent. Regardless of the technology used to capture healthcare encounters, the need for an “extra set of eyes” to review patient records remains strong, especially as information exchanged across healthcare enterprises grows exponentially, potentially worsening errors at multiple hand-off points, thereby putting patients at greater risk."
They basically, ULTIMATELY, want all MTSOs to use the same platform, so the information can be shared by everyone.
