Spheris and Clarity platform - Petrunia


Posted: Jan 29, 2010

Could someone who works for Spheris on the Clarity platform please share what they think of it? 

The hospital I work for will be switching to this platform and would like to hear good and bad about it.  Thx

I've been an MT for 20 years; 8 years at Spheris. Never had problems changing platforms anywhere I worked or keeping my production up. Since changing to this platform at Spheris (8 months ago), my production has dropped by about 300 lines per day and has not recovered yet. The platform is fairly easy to use, lots of bells and whistles, but all this takes extra time to implement and slows you down. The VR part of the program is absolutely horrible, needs many, many corrections, and doesn't seem to get any better with time (which it is supposed to do). I'm totally unhappy with Clarity/Cornerstone.

I actually really like Clarity/Cornerstone! Yes, it does take a little getting used to, but I have seen my line count go up dramatically.

Has Anyone Here Used Both DEP Platform And Clarity/Cornerstone? SM
Jun 21, 2011

I worked for Spheris and used platform called Cornerstone.  There are some MTs on the account who get to use the MQ platform, DEP.  Cornerstone is very slow and I was wondering if the MQ platform is faster/better/whatever.  If anyone knows answer, please, please email me.    Thank you. PS Any former Spheris MTs who LOVE Cornerstone, I don't want to hear about it.  I know all shortcuts and use SH quite effectively.  The thing is slow and I'm peeved ...

Voice Clarity
Nov 07, 2009

I'm about to throw my compuer out the window!!!  I've had such poor voice quality today's dictations.  To make matters worse, they all seem to be on hyperspeed and eatting lunch.  I'm having to listen over and over just to get the ADT screen filled out.  Can't make out the doctor's name half the time and when I finally get out of ADT, the report itself is taking like 3-4 times longer than it should because of the sound quality.  I& ...

Spheris MTs
Nov 10, 2009

Hey Spheris MTs out there.  I worked for Spheris for a while not too long ago but quit for another company.  Nothing wrong with Spheris at all, just love the new company flexibility much, much more.  I loved the expander program Spheris used (Shorthand 10.0) so much that I ended up buying the program to use on my new job.  Problem is there are so many tips and tricks that Spheris provided for using Shorthand 10.0 that I never got to put into action and quit before I thou ...

Spheris - Another Medquist
Jan 30, 2010

I had an interview with Spheris yesterday.  It sounds too good to be true - more per line than I'm making now, plus production bonus and weekend shift differential?  And better insurance too.  Okay. I worked for MQ.  My check got smaller and smaller as they revamped the bonuses and brought in VR (which absolutely refused to be taught anything).  So tell me the truth - would I be jumping back into the same fire with Spheris? ...
