Just curious, which kind of TATs are the MTSOs promising - these days that is causing so much overhiring? sm
Posted: Feb 07, 2010
I remember in the late 90s, an op report at my company was 12 hours, a discharge summary was 48 hours. I think H&Ps were even 8-12 hours; if there was one that was truly stat the hospital would call and it would be done sooner. We were told the TATs and we watched out for them as a team (back when "team" really meant a respectful working relationship between the MTSO and the company).
2 hrs or less for rad, ER, H&P and operative notes, SM - what I heard
[ In Reply To ..]4-6 hrs on most other work except discharges, which are now being promised in 24 hrs usually.
I think they are striving for 1 minute! NM - crabby
[ In Reply To ..].
Same here. Every job that comes in is a crisis. (sm) - SM
[ In Reply To ..]Even those that just arrived and have 5 hours or more before going out of TAT are immediately put on the "let's get these out quickly" e-mail list by management for their every-2-hours "updates" to the MTs. Yeah, they're going out of TAT in 5 hours because they just got here and that's how long we have to turn them around. Shut up already. It's a sweatshop now.
LOL.. you must work for Proscript! nm - nm

Yes, and look what it has done to the industry . . . - mtb
[ In Reply To ..]you're right, it's a sweat shop. What happened to "closed for holidays?" We MTs are working Saturdays, Sundays, every holiday there is to work . . . it's gotten ridiculous. Time to get out.
But on the way out, wouldnt you just love to take - some of those crooks out with you?
[ In Reply To ..]I know I would. If I could put even one of those big, fat MTSO Jabbas in jail, it would make that long wait in the unemployment line sooooo worth it.
Id like to know why mgmt. doesnt get of its big behinds - and start typing if the need is that dire. nm

20 minutes RAD - insane - cuase for overhire. - POOR MANAGEMENT nm

MT Companies And Ridiculous TATs
Oct 08, 2010
I had a very odd thing happen last night, a doctor was complaining about the quick turnaround on the reports! Work has been very low at my company, which is the result of overhiring and having way too many MTs on the accounts, and my company does this purposely in order to get really quick (as in immediate) TATs. So, I'm transcribing reports last night as they trickle in, if I can grab them in time before another MT gets them, and one of the reports that I got was a consult. At both ...

MT Schools Promising Big Bucks
Feb 25, 2012
First, don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to be negative about this in any way and wish any new MT success. However, with this profession dying like it is and even very experienced MTs just trying to eke out even $10 an hour . . . It really aggravates me all of these MT schools and courses trying to suck innocent people in with their high tuition costs, etc. The fact is that nowadays it is akin to going and paying x amount of money to go work for $10 or less an hour. These schools/c ...
