Send MT to discuss OS outsourcing PLEASE

I don't really want to know what someone else did to screw up and find it inappropriate given her position, putting me in an awkward spot as it is not my business (I'm not management). I just want, no need to get along with everyone and not develop bad feelings for either the rock or the hard place here. Work is hard enough. Why doesn't she just BE a manager and handle it privately without the smear job? ...

She couldn't see what the big deal was about losing two days of PTO. She said the company is just trying to save money. She knows that I am now required to work 24 hours if necessary to get in my eight, but doesn't see the problem with that. She says most people goof off half the day anyway, and when I explained that if I goof off, it means I am not making money, she didn't understand what I was saying. And she thinks CEOs deserve to make $325,000 a year. ...

I've been sending out resumes and cover letters as much as I can and reading lots of forums trying to get a feel for what to look for in a good company. Can the experienced MTs share their knowledge/wisdom on what to look for in a new employer? What is a good starting rate? What are some questions to ask of a potential employer? What should we stear clear of? I've been reading the company boards and find that there seem to be more negative responses/comments on so many companies, the ...

If it wasn't for outsourcing, we wouldn't have jobs. The hospitals are outsourcing to us. There is a difference between "outsourcing" and "offshoring." ...

Medical transcription is not the only thing being outsourced.....Lots of info to Google re Boston Hyatt Hotels replacing long time housekeeping staff with people the staff trained. It seems that everying, from the governor's office down, is outraged and want the housekeepers reinstated. Hospitality Staffing Solutions are paying the new workers $8 per hour and no benefits. The original housekeepers were making $14-20/hour with benefits and pension. ...

Can anyone tell me how closely affiliated DSG and MedQuist are, and if DSG outsources to India? We all know MQ outsources, but I'm having trouble getting information. Thinking about working for DSG, but I don't want to go anywhere that has any affiliation whatsoever with MQ. I've heard DSG uses MQ's software, just wondering how far they are in cahoots with the Q on other things, like outsourcing to India. ...

On numerous occasions over the past year I was told by my CCM that the reason they are outsourcing to India is because there is a shortage of qualified MTs because the average age of an MT is 55 and they are starting to retired. Like the infamous ***** and is ridiculous claim about 650 lph on ASR, that MTs have an IQ of about 6. ***** Do not name/identify individuals. Moderator ***** ...

I JUST WANT TO VENT. I don't remember the exact name of this new NBC show making a comedy out of outsourcing - but I think we all need to find out who or where to write and tell them OUTSOURCING OVERSEAS IS NOT FUNNY!! From what I gather from the ads the jobs go to India (I believe) and it's supposed to be so funny. It's not freakin amusing in the least. We aren't the only industry who have been royaly SCREWED by big companies. T ...

Anyone heard about or work for OSi (Outsourcing Solutions, Inc)? Any info would be appreciated! ...

Currently, I have a FT job w/a very large hospital, actually multiple hospitals combined. We all once worked in the office; however, they sent us all home to work. There are about 130 hospital transcriptionists. We also outsource a lot of work to a large company. There have been so, so many changes - everything from new management, VR, pay for production.....Communication amongst co-workers has disappeared. Management doesn't respond. I'm really wond ...

Just thinking out loud here. I know many practices probably do their own outsourcing to MTs at home. Why not more? It must be cheaper for them with higher quality work, personalized service, etc. Some hospitals even hire MTs to work from home rather than use an MTSO. How can we, as the MT community, reach more clients/practices. Surely they have a liason in the office who handles the direction of their transcribed reports, in-house editing; someone who could do ...

I just saw a comercial on TV last night that says Mitt Romney outsouced to call centers overseas. That really upsets me and I for one will remember that when I go to the polls. I am shocked and apalled. He must need educated on the fact that Americans jobs are going overseas. ...

Has anyone started working here on their radiology account? Any information? ...

MTs come here for opinions on whether coding will go the way of transcription. Many coders give their opinion. Many feel safe, some don’t know, and many see many opportunities within the field to move about and are not worried. There you have it. Why argue? The MTs argue that the coders are wrong and try to show that it will happen and is happening. We gave our opinion, we know how we feel, and we are IN the field. Are you trying to war ...

Just a thought...if they are going to outsource our US jobs to India, then give THEM the ESL dictators from India!! I don't care for them. ...

How can medical records which are so closely guarded in this country be sent to another country for transcription. I think that most patients would be against having their sensitive medical information going to another country. It doesn't seem that Mmodal could even outsource. Is it because the public doesn't know? ...

...to those stiff tax penalties Obama was supposed to levy against companies that outsourced jobs? If he, in fact, kept his promise, it doesn't seem like Nuance is bothered by it at all. ...

With all of this outsourcing of MT/Editors, what does the future look like for medical coders? I have heard that Nuance has developed software to "assist" the coder. My concern is that it is going to REPLACE the coder. Any thoughts? ...

Hi everyone, new to this forum. I work for a hospital and a lot of us are getting a bad vibe lately, we work from home but we are noticing little things happening, we keep losing our connections, Joblister keeps disconnecting and we are told the firewall is being updated. Was wondering if anyone noticed little things like this before they were outsourced. Thank you ...

Just found out the hospital I work for, along with the rest of the hospitals in the group nationwide, is outsourcing everything to Nuance. Does anyone besides a troll have anything good to say about Nuance? And what is this "grid" thing--quality incentives no matter how fast/slow you transcribe? If you don't want their benefits, do you get more cpl? ...

Is there a list of American MT Companies who do not outsource? ...

I've been an MT for over 20 years and am seriously considering switching my focus to coding. I believe that I would be a good fit and am excited about starting a new career in the not-too-distant future. My main worry, though, is that in some of my research, every now and then something will pop up about coding going the way of transcription, and by that I mean all the offshoring/outsourcing that has been done, thereby driving wages down. Can anyone here offer any insight into this? I woul ...

You want to get your opinions about this travesty out use Twitter to do it. I've seen several tweets in the last couple of months directed at the AMA about stuff like this. It certainly can't hurt to be heard given that they are followed by 80,000 people, right? Pointing out the deficiencies & danger in outsourced work, identifying who the guilty parties are (Q among others), and why it's a reprehensible practice certainly couldn't do anything at this point bu ...

With 12+ years in the business, 10 of which has been at home, working for at least 6 outsourcing companies..... I can say, for lack of a better expression, that the MT industry is seriously going to the dogs... changing each day, yes, but not for the better.... They expect you to work with zero training, not even a phone call to familiarize you with the system or account(s). They pay by the line for training, which we all know there is a huge learning curve, so you basically make alm ...

Send MT to discuss OS outsourcing PLEASE - Slobrez

MTs would have to hire a lobbiest to make an impact - nm

true - schnauzermom

What about our financial records? They are OS. Would rather OS know - I have flu rather than know my $$ info. nm

No outsourcing, YOU have no job. Now offshoring, that is - what sends work to India. nm
