I've been an MME for about a year. I have seen some doozies come to me, usually from our beloved ILPs. Recently that's starting to change.
First of all, there are a lot of really good MTs, but I'm talking about the bad apples. Unfortunately, over the past few months, this tree has been producing many more bad apples.
I've been getting a lot of US MTs that are awful. Granted they may be new, but they are taken off of 100% too quickly. The ...
...no matter how many blanks, isn't that what QC people do? I mean, at some point it goes with blanks if no one solves the mysteries, right?
Why would an MT be required to do this also? I feel set up to fail BIG time without the QC safety net to depend upon.
Has anyone else been asked, no, required to do this? It is an account in the northwest corner of the country, rather small hospital account in Washington near Seattle.
...
I saw somewhere that more accounts were moving to India on July 1. Did that include a huge NY account including clinics that went through a large in-house audit about 2 months ago?
...
Gosh this make me sick! It is not my primary account, but I have worked on this account, one you can actually make good money because almost no ESLs. Hopefully the little indians will screw up! ...
Everybody leave Medquist....go get other work -- working at McDonald's pays more and has better
benefits - at least you get to eat.
And see how well India does all the transcription -- they can't do it -- we do the hard work and they get the
cream. We are sitting her dying with their bad machines and bad dictators.
Let them have it -- they will corode.
...
What a flippin joke. Didnt Amy say she was going to keep us in 1 account????
OMG, I have done evey account in my BOB this morning as well as some other Bob.
I cant keep my head on straight anymore. It is spinning like a top. My production is down to minimum and I am at risk of being fired for not meeting production because some idiot decides to open the cesspool!
GO CCMs! GET YOUR 100% TAT... SCREW THE REST OF US. ...
Can anyone tell me what I should be sending to QA or if I even should be. I get tired of getting docked for something they cannot even figure out but yet it is me who gets the pay cut. I am afraid to send anything to them because most of the time QA sends it back to me not knowing what they said either. ...
After getting mixed messages as to how many blanks in a report are needed in order to be automatically sent to QA, I finally have the final number of needing a minimum of 5 blanks.
But because I am new at this field, I find myself with reports of 1 or 2 blanks that are of something that someone with more experience would know. Operative reports have all sorts of instrumentation that I just do not know and trying to look them up from what I hear just doesn't yield any reliable resul ...
references at the time you apply for an MT position? I see a company asking for that on the job board and wondered how one would get around that. There is no way I would send that until I was offered a position first. Or am I just out of touch? ...
on-call back-up MTs for the Labor Day weekend? Makes me laugh. She always expects this unforeseen deluge of reports because, gosh, you just never can tell when those doctors will start dictating hundreds of reports over the holiday. Way too inexperienced to be in her positon. Obviously never an MT or she would not even begin to ask for extra help during a holiday. Never enough work for those that are scheduled and then also for the following week. ...
If you have 10 reports all with blanks, when do you determine a report is routed to QA versus striaght to the client? How many out of 10 would you say you send? ...
.... I read notes below to this effect. Oh, and don't forget to NOT count QC lines and scores when you calculate your QA score on FIESA.
...or just ignore it altogether.
...
Was considering working for a company that says they hire IC. Can anyone tell me, if an MTSO is hiring ICs, to they have to send out 1099s to all their ICs at the end of the year, or is it up to the IC to keep track of? ...
one sentence.
YOU HAVE TO REDICTATE THIS REPORT BECAUSE THE AUDIO IS SUCH CRAP THAT I COULD ONLY HEAR EVERY OTHER WORD AT BEST.
Seriously!
I have a 255s discharge summary right now and the static is SO bad that I can only hear every other word, and sometimes not even that much. How am I supposed to deal with that? We should not have to struggle through reports like this where the audio is the problem. There should be a way to kick it back to the client or something w ...
Okay, it was the end of the week and on my very last document I had 1 word that I could not get - so I sent it to QA. Lo and behold! The entire document was picked apart for ridiculous things and some things were even changed incorrectly. All that and my blank space WAS NOT even filled in! No more QA for me! ...
fem-pop bypass: doc saying 24 french "send" very clearly. I tried to make myself hear "stent," but that's not it. books are still in storage, cannot verify "send." Anyone? TIA ...
Wow - I never really paid much attention to this - I don't send much to QA - but I just ran some numbers and realized how very little you can send to QA without getting a pay cut - geesh - I mean I hardly send anything and the one week it came out to 4.75% - I'll be more cognizant of it from here on out that's for sure. ...
I just got a call that I am hired for a job that I interviewed for yesterday (YAY!). My question is besides my CCM or whatever her title is now who else do I copy on my letter of resignation? And where do I find their names because I don't know who is above her. Thanks in advance!
P.S. If you are looking for a job just don't give up. I've been looking for 3 years! ...
I wrote my resignation letter a week ago and finally just had the nerve to send it. It was a tell-all resignation of sorts. I just can't sit back making 4 cpl on VR any longer. A person using a degree in a career field should not have to make several trips to the food shelf every month! Plus, I am back in college full-time, going for my Health Information Technician degree, hoping to open up a new career path in the medical field. I don't know why it took me so long to hit the "send" b ...
programmers with a note that their work is unacceptable! They can't even get easy dictation right after the doctor has been on ASR for a few years.
Give us a Christmas present - pay good programmers to come fix it. We are most likely getting what they pay for.
If they wouldn't do that and won't put our pay back up to at least 100% (really should be 120%), at least give us prepaid grocery cards.
They should be ashamed at the quality of their work. It may ...
