Softscript---power trip, doesn't care about quality - TickedMT


Posted: May 02, 2011

I've worked for Softscript for almost 6 years and annually I have the same problem w/ management on a power-trip!  Currently, the issue is that they have taken accounts away that I've worked on for 5 years, and want to replace them w/ accounts I have no experience in (work type), heavy ESL, lightning fast dictators.  I informed them that I was not comfortable w/ this, and they give me a corrective action for insubordination!  DO NOT APPLY TO WORK FOR SOFTSCRIPT!  They care nothing about the MT, or the client's best interest, because if they did, they simply would place their MT's in accounts that work best for them, insuring quality work.

I wont apply with them because of their - obnoxious, space-hogging ads

Someone over there thinks they are awfully clever and witty.

So annoying.

My experience with SS was exactly the same as yours. I have been an MT for 30+ years. When they pulled that crap I resigned and went out and got my own hospital accounts for more $$ of course. I think these companies have a revolving door. They purge out or dispose of good qualified MTs and replace them with less experienced MTs they can get cheap. They are not compensating us for our KNOWLEDGE.

Quality Patient Care
Dec 05, 2014

The whole purpose of this new compensation plan is to focus on quality patient care, supposedly.  After 20+ years in this field, including multiple years within an office and seeing how these notes are used, I think I know a thing or two about patient care and how important the quality of the medical record is. Here are some things I know: Doing accounts consistently help you learn what doctors say from note to note.  Likewise, it also means you're more likely to hear a mistake w ...

INDIA'S POWER GRID COLLAPSES - 680 MILLION LOSE POWER
Jul 31, 2012

One of the things I have repeatedly written and warned about when it comes to outsourcing is the uncertain infrastructure that many foreign countries have - and I'm not just talking about their electrical grids. Foreign countries introduce huge elements of uncertainty (read, RISK) when it comes to their physical infrastructure, but also their social, governmental and legal infrastructures.  And when it comes to something as CRITICAL as American healthcare records (which, may I remind ...

SoftScript Acute Care Test - Function Disabled!

Another Sad Option For Medical Care Is Charity Care. Work With The People

...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country.  ...


New Quality Index Vs Old Quality Score

I ran an error report for all reports, all accounts on my platform for this quarter, 10/1 - 10/18. So far the Quality Index is 84% vs Quality Score 99.18%.  Didn't they advertise this new error scoring as working out in our favor?  Doesn't look like it to me. This is based on 2194 jobs and 105,358 lines audited on E5.  I checked the box that says view all corrections on the correction report. ...

so for 1 hour we are going to get work from another POD that is way behind.....well guess what, if I had stayed in my own POD which is also flooded with work, I would have accomplished over 400 lines, but in this "power hour"  I typed a total of 95 lines because I spent all my time reading over client profiles and looking up old jobs making sure I got everything right. The hour is up, and strange jobs are coming in so I signed out for a break. Yeah...this power hour works really well. ...
