Future Net Diamond Bar again

Does anyone know what is going on there now? Looked like all the work was being forced into MModal and they ended up a couple days behind in their TAT. Now the work looks like it is being fed back into regular typing and SR. Just stringing the MTs along until they find enough newbies for MM maybe? Sure do not trust them. BTW the tone of the emails really changed after some posts here on this board described the beatings and nastigrams they were sending out. ...

Has anyone been able to make over the equivalent of $5.00/hour on the MModal platform they are switching all their accounts to? I see they are now advertising for MTs on another site yet fail to mention it is for MModal. ...

Many have said that MT is not what it once was. Here's a topic: What is/could be the future of medical transcirption? Diane ...

I was told not to enter the medical transcription field because it was not going to exist in about five or six years. Is this true? I really want a job that is professional and allows me to work at home as well. Thanks ...

Wondering what thoughts are on this article. I believe MT is changing but is not a dying profession. ...

Iâ��ve been doing more research into the future of the MT field and I find that it is morphing into something I do not want to be a part of. Are EMR/EHR really cutting down transcription costs/jobs? If you goggle this you will find a huge disparity of opinion from â��goal being to have no transcriptionists whatsoeverâ�� at one extreme to â��all this new fangled stuff is just some new toys for the kids to play withâ�� being at the other. Some are on the fence and some are crying itâ��s a ...

I am a former MT who is going to school for Health Informatics. I worked as a transcriptionist for over 20 years. Two and a half years ago our team was told the organization we worked for was going to voice recognition and our jobs were being phased out which is when I chose to go back to school. I am writing my final paper on “The Future of Medical Transcription – Is There One?” I would like to get information from other transcriptionists on this ...

Hello to everyone on MTStars. I've been reading all these posts for weeks. My hospital announced in Jan. that we would get laid off in July b/c they had decided to go with M*Modal. After everything I have read here you could not beat me with a stick to apply for M*Modal; even though that is what they wanted us to do. I've come to terms with it. I am at peace. I have been transcribing for 16 years, and have made EXCELLENT money, $25-30/hour. If this is the ...

Anybody still there? After months of shoving MModal down our throats they just sent an email out on how to fix the spellchecker in the program! Do you think that should have been done before forcing this on MTs? Looks like there is no turning back, they are just forcing the issue and you can either make less than minimum wage, WAY less, or take a hike as many of us have been told. A ton of work in regular SR every day because looks like everyone is in fact leaving but at the same time, m ...

I am beginning to think that the future with VR and point-and-click plus offshoring means that the work that is remaining will be just a little bit from a bunch of different accounts, meaning we have to navigate through a bunch of different account specs for those MTs left. My old account went completely offshore, the new account I was transferred to went completely over to Epic and my new assignment has me with 3 accounts and the work is dried up so I will have to ask for more. The ...

Recently, I saw several posts about TSMs being let go, about other things that are changing in the different regions. Will that be happening across the board I wonder? Are these changes in place right now? Thank you for your input. ...

Well, just saw a report on my local news that one of the hospitals in my area is trying out the Dragon Medical voice/rec system, where they are doing it directly at the hospital right into the medical record. Allegedly it is just a pilot program, but it showed the doctor looking at a computer screen and dictating into the machine, and the text would appear directly on the computer. Then he can read what he said and put it directly into the chart. Then any doctor in the hospital ...

I don't mean to start a downer post here, but I sincerely want to know if there is a future for MT work. I see posts by a few who have succeeded, at least somewhat, in the MT world. However, these are very few. Then there are those who were happy just to find a job, but a few months later, were let go because of no work. There are some whom I know to be conscientious workers who were fired out of the blue. Could this just be the company losing accounts and placing t ...

I'm currently an MT, wanting to change careers. In your opinion, what are the chances of coding going the way of MT with outsourcing to foreign countries and/or technology cutting back the number or coders needed? Any opinions would be appreciated. I'm thinking about starting classes. ...

Go to this website. Transcriptionists will no longer be needed in the future for transcribing or editing. One of my friends told me the hospital she retired from is going to this system and their transcription department will eventually no longer exist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGMEf11GmBo ...

I'm on the fence and need some advice. I would like to make a move and I've applied to TransTech, but I think I might want to apply for an in-house position versus at-home position. I have friends who work at TransTech, but they are at-home MTs and they don't know how TransTech in-house MTs are set up or even how many there are. Are there any in-house MTs for TransTech who could tell me why they chose the in-house versus at-home position? Other than ...

With the president's health care reform he is giving incentives to doctors to switch to EMR. From what I understand, if doctors have not switched over to EMR by 2014 they will be taxed. What is the future of our business with this policy? Especially the big transcription companies like Transcend? ...

I am currently taking a program taught by a coder in my city. It is very in depth and I will be able to sit for the CPC when I finish, but I am worried about the future of coding. I read an article (I can't remember where but was in a health journal of some kind) that in 5 years coding will be mostly computer-assisted, documentation for coding will be 3/4 electronic, and coding staffing levels will be starting to decrease due to technology. Who agrees with this? Am I ...

I just finished typing a patient - 106 years old - NO past medical history, NO past surgical history, completely negative ROS, NO medications at all. She came into the ER for a tooth abscess! ...

I don't know why I'm posting, just a last bit of hope left in me. I have devoted my entire adult life to this industry, what I used to consider a career. Over the decades, I became a top-notch professional MT, basically 100% accuracy, never needed QA help, and was a huge producer. Fast forward 20 years, and I climbed up the ladder in our industry, joining QA, being a team lead, then up into management levels, and.... rather than have my salary 'commensurate with ...

You know, I just stumbled upon this website a week or so ago. Reading some of your post have really opened my eyes as to how lucky I am to have my position. I am semi-new to the MT world. I work for a wonderful company, but it makes me sad to see everyone has to put up with just insane working conditions from other companies. I hope all of you find companies that realize you are their biggest asset. They cannot make deadlines, or quality goals without the hard work that all of you ...

So everything is going swimmingly for Mmodal - getting better in every way every day -- except, of course, for MT pay. ...

Hello, all! I am a new MT searching for my first job in the field. Just about a year ago, this forum was discussing EPIC, EMTs, technology and policies negatively impacting the medical transcriptionist. What has your experience been? Any new thoughts concerning the future of MT? If you have a job, is it being impacted negatively, if at all? I'd love to hear from the job-hunters as well. Thanks. ...

....that says that Nuance is not doing well. It's stocks are down and they are losing accounts to more advanced speech technology. It also goes to say that there is a possibility that Nuance will be sold. ...

Wondering what you small MTSO companies have lined up for the future? We have discussed what MTs are possibly switching to in the near future and now I wonder if all of these small MTSO companies that might be making a good living now have a backup plan for when it all dries up? ...

I had to take my two kids to the doctor the other day. Thought I was lucky, because there were only 2 people in front of us, but it was TWO HOURS before we were called back. Once I got back there, I saw why. When the nurse came in to ask the pre-visit questions, she asked a MILLION questions and entered them all into her laptop, typing out what we said (typed VERY slow, by the way) and we were just on HER portion for over 45 minutes. Then, the doctor came in and saw the kids and she spen ...

I am thinking about going back to school to get into another profession. Coding is popular with MTs. I am really afraid that coding will be going down the same road transcription has. I am hearing things now with coding as I heard less than 10 years ago with transcription, i.e. off shoring, technology etc. Does anyone have any helpful info about the coding field and what the future outlook is? I have gone to websites to try to find this info and nothing seems helpfu ...
