Need some advice and input...

Does anyone work for Q.E.D. ? Their job posting sounds too good to be true -- and no offshoring: Acute Care Transcriptionist Posted date [2009-Nov-03] (ID: 356) If you love transcribing acute care, read on! We are currently interviewing for full- and part-time positions in our acute care department. We're a growing service, in business since 1988. We offer competitive pay and benefits, including the following: Location:Work at home Productio ...

Never thought I'd be posting this, but I need others' input. I have been working as an MT since 1988 and have lots of varied experience, including acute care, in different specialties. Until recently was only working part-time. I decided a few weeks ago to look for full-time work. Have been sending out resume' on top of resume', but so far have gotten zero response. Now I know companies are hiring, so I'm wondering . . . does anybody have an ...

Hey everyone out there in MT land! I am looking for some input from you all. I have started my own business in transcription, and we have clients and employees!! We are still small but we are growing VERY quickly. I have been doing TONS of research into lots of things. Some of the topics include offshoring (which we REFUSE to do...we are only for US and Canadian MTs), transcription wages, EMR concerns, as well as the entire process of transcription and how to make it easier n ...

I am transcribing a note and the assessment and plan sounds like s/l elaphesia ( I put alphasia) The patient has a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Does this word sound correct? She also dictated medication that sounds like s/l new genermac. Any ideas are appreciated. Have a good day! ...

I would like some information about what it is like to work at MQ. I know a lot of people are unhappy, as they are with any company but I am still considering accepting a position. Can any provide information on work flow, production averages on straight and ASR, insurance costs. I know every company has its pros and cons and I would like to hear from someone who has been there a while, knows the work available, dictation quality, etc. Any info would be greatly appreciate ...

We only have 3.?? hours every pay period of PTO until after 4 years with the company. I was off last week and for each day for PTO I indicated 7 hours per day. This will give me 1 extra day of PTO over the year at 7 hours pay. I do not know if that is allowed, they may require us to indicate 8 if we took the whole day off. Will see what happens about that. I wish I could put 6 hours per day, leaving me more hours of PTO. We have 2 days paid sick time, which I have ...

I am very happy to have found this forum. I thank you all for the input on companies. I worked for a company for three years and was frustrated to the point of going nuts. I broke three keyboards and threw books at the wall. I had never experienced this when I worked directly for a practice and had to leave there too. I messed up my left wrist trying to make the lines they expected and took 10-12 a day since their platform was so very slow. I ended up taking a medical month leave of absen ...

*some of the post is redacted due to inappropriate response below. not looking to jeopardize anyone's job at all. not sure if these questions are allowed, but would anyone be willing to share actual experience they have had transitioning to Nuance from a hospital - step by step - and any promises that were made and how they panned out. did you get to keep your same hours as promised. how long did it take before you were pushed into other accounts. were you told you would ...

I have had offers from several different compaines this past week and I'm not sure which way to turn. Can anyone give me some input on AssistMed, The Transcription Docs and Ascott Transcription (ATS).Thanks! ...

I also have an interview coming up with Transcend soon. I have done my research on this board and elsewhere. Are there any MT's out there who are willing to give some new and or good input into this company and why it might be worth it to work there? ...

Any input regarding Keystrokes? Good company or bad to work for. I need some input as I am thinking about applying with them. Thanks! ...

I put a note in another thread asking about Keystrokes Transcription Service, so excuse the redundancy, I just wanted to make sure this was seen. Does anyone have any input on this company? Thanks. ...

I would be doing cliniic work because I want the flexible 12-hour schedule to fit around a part time job working directly for a small hospital. I may end up being bored, but I want to give it a try. How is the clinic work and how is the Apex system? I have previously worked on DocQspeech and Escription. I really want no more than two accounts and to be mostly just left alone unless I screw something up. Is this possible with Accentus? ...

I need some advice. My current company has been low on work and I applied to Transcend. Any thoughts about Transcend? Should I jump ship or stay put?? ...

I have been transcribing for over 20 years and my wrists are a little tired. The company I work for has offered me a position doing QA if I am interested. I was hoping for a little advice on what the going rate for QA is so I know where to begin my discsussion. I am hopeful I will be able to stay on with the company. They pay weekly so even a hit in pay switching from MT to QA would not be so bad. ...

Does anyone have any input on InScribe? I want to work for a company that pays on time and the QC is not so nit picky. I am ready to give up on my current employer's expectations, as I can't seem to meet them or the bonus. I am sure some of you can guess who I work for. Any input would be appreciated. :) ...

I know there have been many posts on this company, but I have lost my notes on this company and would appreciate any input anybody has on them. I have read Oct, Nov, Dec. posts. Any input would be very appreciated. TIA. ...

Anyone have any input of any kind on the Shorthand 10 program? Specifically is it easy to transfer from an outdated PC to a new one? Thanks! ...

Just wondering if anyone does or has worked for SoftScript and what your experience with them was/is. Thanks. Actively looking for a new company!!! ...

I'm totally getting burned out at MQ. If it's not the NJA with requests to change schedule, then it's the lack of primary and getting other unknown accounts slowing me down. I've gone from full-time at MQ down to working part-time with another part-time job to make up lost income now for the past 7 months. When I started MT'ing so many years ago, the pay was great and being able to set my own schedule was a real plus as well. It was the ...

Does anyone have input/good or bad about Probity ...

FT IC Radiology Per minute 0.95 per minute until out of QA 1.05 per minute following release from QA 600 minute minimum per pay period. Above 120 minutes = 1 and 1/2 x 1.05 per minute I have over 15 years of experience. I need to know if this can pay my bills but it is hard to gauge without knowing the account (how many templates/normals are used, if cherrypicking takes place, if the account is overstaffed or if there is working during the afternoon shift). ...

I am doing a lot of cancer clinic notes today (very long reports). They all have lots of dates in them due to the various tests and treatments the patients have had. This particular facility wants the dates typed out in XX/XX/XXXX fashion; however ASR types them out the long way, i.e., August 26, 2010, so I have to change them all to fit the client profile. It's rather annoying. I figured that ASR was supposed to be formatted to be in line with the different client profiles. ...

I've been working in an office for only about 3 months now after about 12 years in-home transcription. It's a busy office for a doctor who is kind of a "superstar" in his field and I love it. Here's the thing... it's a new practice, the entire staff has been here for less than a year and we don't all have hardly any PTO saved up (less than a year and all...) and the doc is going to be closing up the office for 2 weeks to go on vacation. Several of ...

I was just wondering, since I am considering a position with her. Please be brutally honest. Have you worked for her? Did she pay on time? Does she pay as well as you expected? Thanks guys! ...

How annoying is that? There are a few doctors on my account that don't bother inputting the patient name into the demographics, don't spell it, don't give a date of service...they just say a name and start dictating. They do this for every report, and it's been that way since I started working here! I have a rule where I only try 2 spellings of the name to find the patient. Otherwise it gets pended. What do you guys do? ...

I am increasingly disgusted and appalled over what this industry has turned into and what the big MTSOs are getting away with at the expense of our ranks. I don't know if it will have any effect, but I would like to do something to try. I would like to start a petition through Change.org and state our plight. This would include the need for wage standards including a minimum wage mandate as well as the offshoring problem and how it is affecting our economy as well as us, f ...

Remember the good old days when we had our own accounts and only signed with a service as "filler?" This is the third time that I have committed to working full time, signed the "Agreement" that yes, I will work for you full time hours, only to end up with under 20 hours for the month, or better yet sitting and waiting and waiting to start with now no full-time income coming in because I have committed to them to full time! Has anyone ever tried to be compensated for that time? If ...
