Any Smartmed employees out there left? - nervousnellie
Posted: Nov 08, 2011
I feel there is something else brewing with this place. It's gone downhill for awhile but lately, I get a bad vibe that something's going down.
I left as an employee a few years ago but - stayed on as an IC

What makes you feel like something is brewing? The new platform is horrible. It is difficult to make a decent count. The bad thing is they have only 1 account and if they lose that one, Smartmed is out of business.

the supervisor and manager sent email saying they both had to go to the 1 account that's left for a meeting. Makes me wonder if there's a problem. The contract is not up until next July. Yes, the platform is horrible. Not to mention all the cuts they've made over the years and losing so many accounts. I agree, if they lose this one, they are out of business. Makes me want to start job hunting.
Has anyone actually been charged $5 per report for skipping? They keep threatening this and I was told they actually charged someone close to $50 for skipping reports. ...
I wasn't on the boards for a little while, and now I'm seeing posts about all the part time people being laid off. Is this true? Do we know this for sure, or just speculation? ...
I'm just talking about employees here, not ICs. It amazes me that as a company employee, we would not be provided the most important tool we need to work with all set up to company specs, loaded with company s/w. If we worked on site, would we be expected to bring in our own computers? I don't think so.
Thanks. ...
I was just curious about what employees thought of Nuance on Glassdoor. You read several US employee opinions and they reflect the morale listed on MTStars. Scroll further down and read the opinions of the transcriptionists from India. What a difference. They are highly satisfied with their jobs and most have been working with Nuance for 6 to 7 years. The US transcriptionists are very sad!! What a difference..... ...
I see they have an ad. I worked there but left for family tragedy. I am giving them an unsolicited endorsement. Wonderful, friendly women. they do have teaching accounts so not for newbies. If you want to work for a good company and deal with sane individuals, I recommend them. I did not make tons of money there (but where can you anymore) but it was certainly refreshing to deal with adults.

anyone is working for them now. Archives give good and bad, but would like to hear from someone who is currently employed. Would anyone give some input please! Sounds good! Thx ...
I see there are 2 dislikes on the Smartmed job listing that was posted tonight. I sent in my resume a little bit after it was posted and before I saw that.
Anyone work for them currently? I couldn't find much in the archives about them. My only problem is that I have no recent acute care experience, I did work at a hospital from 1995 to 1997 and the rest of the time I have done various clinic jobs.
I just want to break into a company and get some acut ...
I have not seen anything about them on the board. Maybe that's a good thing? Was wondering if anyone has worked for them or currently works for them. ...
This doc always says, "right and left foot", but i cant help but think that it should be "right and left feet"..... Can someone clear this up for me? For example: The patient comes in today for examinatin of his right and left foot. or The patient's right and left foot appears in normal condition. ...
sort of things you're getting QA'd for, to compare notes. For instance, I'm new to VS, and I tend to leave in double words. I think what's happening is that I hear it, so my mind just blocks out the extra one and I don't see it. I spend a lot of energy trying to out-guess the QA, but no matter what I put in certain instances, I'm marked off. If I put "The patient," then she fills in the name. If I put the name, then she puts "The patien ...
I'd like to know how you are all dealing with it. Do you sit and wait on work during your scheduled shifts without getting paid? Have any of you filed for unemployment due to lack of work? I wonder how people manage to pay for insurance, etc. Have any of you quit your jobs and received unemployment? How do you all manage? TIA for any information you are willing to share. ...
