Imedx Leads Do Not "Cherry Pick" - Tablesaw

Posted: Feb 12, 2015

Cherry pickin could be found out with a simple run of the software, so leads do not do this. We want to do this, but we dont. There are times we'd sure like to give the snails a bunch of ickies based on their never ending complaints and irregularity.

Snails? - Circular Blade

Snails are working for free, searching the database for correct spelling of doctor's names, making sure their mispronunciation isn't a new drug, searching previous records. Then there are the deliberate mumblemouths dictators, who purposefully do not form words found in the English dictionary, while the snail follows orders to review tons of previous reports to see if you can figure out what words he should be uttering. I would produce literally twice the volume if I were not required to do unpaid research! I'd produce close to 4 times the lines if providers knew how to dictate.

You're lying. Mine did and when they were working - sm

all the good dictators were gone and only crap for me. When the supervisors were off picking up the kids or having a day off, voila! great dictators for me. Then once they returned - nothing for me. I think 3 months of this pattern was enough proof for me and not just coincidence. I had one new-ish supervisor ask me who the "good" dictators were so she could route some more to me. I made a list for her (stupid me) and that is when I got absolutely none of them when she was on board. So, yes, they do cherry pick. And who runs the software? The supervisors! The higher ups couldn't care less as long as the work is getting done.

"Tricks of the trade Tablesaw"...no benefit anymore for horrible dictation. - Reality

Cherry picking has been going on since day one. George might have chopped down the tree, but the pick'n still continued...even to this day. Bottom line $$

You're very naive. I'm a 30 plus year MT and I know it goes on. - I know it.

Not only know it...seen it at every job over 40 years. - anon

It is called "assign"...assign to yourself because you have access to the "manager." Worked with a girl who would block off everything because she wanted it ALL. You also set up 'pools.' Pool all the good stuff so you can type and then say it is easy and achievable. Meanwhile, all the difficult dictation goes unassigned...then the lies begin. "Oh, no...first in first out." That's a line overused.

You certainly are not making any friends here. - We all know what goes on.

I have been an MT, a supervisor, a QA lead... and yes, cherry-picking goes on. Of course it could be discovered by running the software, but because MOST of the supervisors who also have to type have done it - no one is going to say anything. I know the ins and outs of lots of software programs, having held jobs that managed those platforms, including eMon/eScription, and I know exactly how they do it too. I never did it as a supervisor or QA lead, but I wasn't required to type in those positions either, but yes, it does happen on a regular basis.

Stop lying to everyone and man up. And for chrissakes, stop trying to make iMedX out to be anything more than it is - a dishonest and greedy company that is putting thousands of Americans out of work - for the almighty buck. I hate this business and even though I don't know who your lying azz is, I don't like you either.

Here's the deal, I'm not saying I cherry pick every minute of my shift, but if I have done one after the other report of difficult dictators, then I will go in and assign myself 2 or 3 jobs to give myself a break. I work directly for a hospital and I know that I am absolutely not the only one who does this. I also cherry pick if the end of my shift is coming up and I find that my lines need a little boost. I will assign myself some easy dictators to boost up my lines ...

Just curious about this because it seemed when I worked my last shift, I had all good doctors for a change. Some of them I'd never typed before. So I got to wondering if people can actually cherry pick on eScription. I was under the impression that was one of the benefits of that software, difficult to do that. We all work the same bad shift, let's share the junk reports, please! ...

if there is NO WORK on the system?! How can an MT sign on and work with no jobs available?! Dear leads, quit tattling to your boss that MTs are no-shows if there is no work on the system. Have any other MTs had this happen to them? Dear bosses of leads, please do some research before scolding an MT for being a "no show." There just might be a reason nobody is clocking in. Why pay someone on the clock when they can't work? ...

Moderator, please delete everything on your site that refers to Imedx, even this post of mine, it is only the right thing to do. I prefer to be angry and have no where to vent. Last week we were told by Op Mgr that "she has a call into the client about why volume is so low." Yesterday, we got a "yippee" from "her" about having a coupla hundred jobs ready. This morning, we got an email saying, "we need to make sure you have backup accounts now." I wont address the timesheet issue, I am still ...

Did you post here to stir up trouble? Are you bored? You certainly knew this criticism would stir up nasty posts. Seems to me you are displaying the very attitude that MTs complain about with QA. Quite a power trip you are on there. This also caused very low morale and worth ethics. MTs would rather send an error to the client than a blank to QA. How sad. Yes, there are slacker MTs. We all know that, just as there are people in QA positions w ...

manipulate MTs' work queues any way that suits them, just because they can? They know just which jobs are crap & which are at least doable or that 1 in 10 pretty good dictator, and no sooner does an MT download a job that's at least understandable/doable, these low-lives snatch up that job for themselves or 1 of their friends as soon as the MT gets it in his/her queue? Too many of these fair-haired leads are coddled by management and virtually have a free hand in manipulating work flow ...

NOBODY IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE. All the sudden no matter who is "on" always has a busy notice up on their status. How frustrating is this when you work on an account where seems like every other crappy speaker wants things done their way, which contradicts everything else and ultimately makes no sense. But do you think that anybody would be available to answer a question H NO!!! All their "changes" to make things better are only making things wors ...

Two questions. Does anyone else have the little screen that pops up and says Editscript has been inactive for 1 hour, will automatically shut down in 5 minutes and then counts down? IT COMES ON WHILE I AM WORKING! I have NEVER let my work sit for an hour, NEVER! Secondly,I had an appointment last week so missed an hour and missed a few minutes here and there enough to be over 2 hours short on my normal working hours. First I received an email (ON MY DAY OFF SO I DID NOT SEE IT) that I must m ...

After browsing around in FIESA, I found what looks to be an instruction manual for the people who audit us and after looking at it, it sure does look like they can pick and choose which reports to audit, rather than randomly. I have also had the worst dictators audited more than the good ones. Of course it's easier to find a mistake that way and easier to keep our pay down! Remember 7 cpl is really equal to only 3.5 cpl if most of your jobs are VR. ...

Ok Team Leads: We all know that you are busy and we all know that you answer countless e-mails a day, but guess what?? That is the job that you chose and you knew that you would have to take this on. I am not just a robot who deserves short, snotty comments when asking a question pertaining to my job. You may e-mail but the tone and shortness can be heard when reading the e-mail. We are human beings that deserve a descent answer. I'm not saying you have ...

Who has the the insane job of deciding on changes in the account specifics? Not the important ones. I am talking about the stupid little sneaky ones that are just put in place to trap us into not making our bonus.
