AccuStat EMR was featured in a Reader's Digest article

Reader's Digest, October issue, has an article based on physicians, nurses and pharmacists sharing their mistakes which caused fatal incidences. It could be a good time to write in a response on what is happening with the medical records too. You know, the errors made with voice recognition, lousy dictation either because of doctors, equipment or environment, and the fact that we are required to have 98% accuracy in transcribing reports, not to mention the off shoring.... ...

can someone just give me the reader's digest version? ...

I get an email with a log sent to me through PDF files that opens through acrobat reader. The text fonts are so small sometimes it is very very straining to read. Does anyone know how to make it larger? Or can it be opened through something else to make it work? Any help appreciated by these old eyes. Thank you ...

Just wondering if anyone has worked or is working for AccuSTAT out of Wisconsin? They have an ad for psych work, as needed work, so wondering how much work would be there. I know their site says they do overflow, but a guessimate on how much work would be available would be nice too. Anyone? Anything to say about them? Greatly appreciated! ...

I have not looked around to see if the problem exists with others, but... Is anyone else receiving a blank daily digest of the forum posts? I receive the e-mail as I always did, but there are only the section headers, NO posts listed. If anyone knows if there is a way for me to fix this, please let me know. I have unsubbed and subscribed and it did not change it. Thanks! ...

This is actually my first post on MT stars and I am wondering if anyone works or has heard of Accustat Transcription out of Mexico and what you think about this company. I appreciate any thoughts. thank you so much Flowers ...

them currently? Their website states they use qualified text which reduce their cost (while robbing the MT?) Anyway, are they a good MTSO to work for and can you make any money with qualified text? ...

Says PRN which is kind of like clean up or someone's gopher and no guarantees. Different for companies who state "On Call' where you are paid even if there is no work! And it also is not like a nurse who is per diem and gets sometimes DOUBLE because of no benefits. Not here though. Probably double the headaches and time spent for pennies of self learning. ...

This is an interesting article about using medical scribes to do transcription. It is a way for doctors to create electronic medical records and not have to enter information into computers themselves. http://articles.latimes.com/2010/sep/06/health/la-he-medical-scribes-20100906 ...

I don't work for Nuance or the other 3 MTSOs listed, but I found this article clear and with devastating details about the exact cost of what happens to the local economy when employers opt to switch to the offshoring companies: http://www.abc4.com/content/news/slc/story/University-of-Utah-Hospital-sending-local-jobs/ApYQbQl0d0OqwCx2vzmjlQ.cspx or search "University of Utah Hospital sending local jobs overseas" "Hundreds of people just like Rachelle are losing their jobs at medical tra ...

I just brought in my mail and there was the March 28 issue of "For the Record", a magazine that was part of my AHDI membership benefits. I don't know why they're still sending it to me because my AHDI membership ran out, but I the cover story of this issue is "The MT Credentialing Debate: What do Medical Transcriptionists Gain by Adding RMT or CMT to Their Resumes?" I haven't started reading it yet, but it should be interesting! ...

http://ahdilounge.blogspot.com/2011/08/medquists-new-ceo-re-branding-on.html They seem pretty happy about having 28 sites in India and want to keep offshoring more of their work. I really wonder how many Americans, if properly educated about the whole thing, would really want their medical history sent overseas. I know clinics/hospitals don't care. They are using MQ and other services that offshore because they want to save a buck on services. Yeah I know, s ...

This just basically proves that it still takes a human to do what a computer can't do... ...

Here’s an article by For the Record magazine that is worth reading. Sometimes, their articles are a lot of fluff, AHDI stressing we need them, or words just filling a page, but this one affirms what we have all known for a very long time. http://www.fortherecordmag.com/archives/091012p22.shtml Interesting what is written about the Transcend lawsuit too. What can we do? At the end of the article, it mentions “MTs need to work with their employers to develop a fair compensat ...

I had to share this with each and every transcriptionist out there. It is always darkest before the dawn. ...

Reminded me of our business, except worse! How humiliating for them. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff-at-disney-train-foreign-replacements.html?_r=0 ...

There's an article today in my hometown newspaper from an area community college about its MT course, about how MTs are needed for VR, how they make $34,000 a year, and how you can work at home. I just wanted to puke. Of course the goal is to get gullible people to sign up for their course, hoping they don't bother to research it too closely.... ...
