MED-SCRIBE JAX - Grumpyroxy

Posted: Jun 17, 2011

Anyone have any idea what is going on at Med-Scribe JAX? No work. Cutting pay. Talking letting people go to badger you to "jump on" after your shift. Are all companies having problems.

I have been employed for almost two years at MedScribe and have not experienced anything mentioned. I know our line rates are set when hired and I am sure I would have heard about any decreases. My team leader answers her phone when I call with a question and is always very forthcoming, I guess I am just happy to be with them. I started about three months after the ChartNet conversion and the new platform is just a joy to work on. My schedule is Tuesday - Saturday and work is steady.

Not to call a recruiter a recruiter, but your response doesn't make sense... - ndmt

from an MT point of view. First of all, MedScribe was converting to ChartNet back in 2008. Secondly, if ChartNet was the only platform you had ever worked on there, why would you call it the "new" platform? Last but not least, an MT hired on at MedScribe Jax has to be of the highest caliber and is carefully monitored remotely (see the exceptionally smug article by the owner). It is unlikely that if you were an MT you would be taking time to read and post on a forum, and if you did, you would have properly punctuated your response rather than having 4 out of 5 run-on sentences.

Was there a reason for that? - I saw...

no indication for the WAY you responded...from another MT's point of view, of course.

Yes, there was. I have often seen MTs mislead by someone... - ndmt

acting as an MT for MedScribe Jax who is not really an MT. I'm just calling them out on it. If Karen feels wronged, she can let me know, and I will take it back.

ahhh...I got it now - nm

I completed the testing, the recruiter called and left a message but I could not reach him when I called back. I left a message but he never returned my call. I guess we were playing phone tag but was curious about their benefits in case I can get a hold of him. Thanks.

Jumping Ship - Ships Ahoy!

If there's "no work," then why are MTs being 'badgered' to work outside their shift?

I agree - with you

I think it may be a case of someone wanting to work a different schedule then assigned or agreed upon, but I agree with you, work is work.

I have voice files sent to me that I cannot play in Windows Media or Express Scribe. They will load in ES but show 00:00 duration. I thought possibly it was an encryption error as they possibly they are coming that way to be because they are secure but I sent to a friend and she can open them and play them. Windows Media states something about a missing codecs and I have installed if known codecs to man (I am on Windows XP). They just will not play or show the duration etc.&nbs ...

I'm looking to change jobs & saw an ad for Med-Scribe in Naples, Florida. Ads, as you know, can sound really good, but they don't tell the true story. Would like to know about the good & bad aspect that MTs working for Med-Scribe have had & are having. I work for another transcription company &, right now, they're not treating their employees too good, & haven't for quite some time. Thank you. ...

I just saw an ad for a Medical Scribe. The description is that the MT accompanies the doc from room to room to see patients, sits at the computer in the room and transcribes the H&P/procedure while doc is doing the exam. Starting pay was $17/hr with full benefits. Anybody ever heard of this? I think it's a good idea, leaves the doc hands free to tend to the patient. It sounds a little like being a court reporter as far as "live" dictation being done. ...

I just got a new computer, and have set up Scribe and everything else to start using it. On my old computer, the page filled up the entire screen and the text was larger and easier to read. On my new computer, the page is centered in the screen and is much smaller than on my old one. When I try to zoom to 125% or higher, the demographics and other things get larger but the page stays the same size. I'm not sure what to try to get this the way it was on my old compute ...

I'd like to go into coding, and I think I'd be really good at it too, but medical scribe looks like the direction to go that would require the least amount of training. I think as soon as the summer is over and I've taken my vacation and used up some PTO, I will apply for that. Wish me luck. ...

Our high-volume hospital dept just went onto Powerscribe after many fits and starts. Everyone involved expected the MTs to get reports to edit but it looks like the doctors (who fought tooth and nail against this) are very happy with editing themselves. This has left the MTs with little or no work. It's only been a week. Has anyone found that the novelty wears off and the doctors stop doing most of the editing? They have the option of editing themselves, having ...

I have trained on the above platform and now have doubts about the above platforms. It seems to me it would be very difficult using these 2 platforms. Going through all the steps that you have to go through just to get 1 report done seems like a very long process. I have worked on the IKM platform on another job and it didn't seem that bad to me, but I find using these 2 together would make it impossible to produce a good line count. Is this just my problem or does a ...

Does anyone have any information on working as a scribe, directly following the physician and typing in the room with the patient? I was offered a position as a scribe in a local clinic. I have done transcription for many years, but never as a scribe. I'm kind of nervous about not being able to start/stop the dictation, use shortcut keys, etc. I was told with the platform they use, there is no way to make shortcuts. Everything will be straight typing and that I would need to keep u ...
