TransTech, Can you pick your own schedule - Lulu
Posted: Dec 15, 2013
Can you pick your own schedule, either a full 8-hour straight work day or a split-shift?
If there is an opening left by a fav. - anon

No work on days usually to get any line count even if you have a daytime schedule. Need quota, count on 24/7, 365 days VR and ESL...that's the 4 cents of it all.
That was my experience. SM - ExTTer

Unless you're on 3rd shift, the lead MTs will grab any decent jobs out of your queue the second you get them. They get really vicious and punitive, with vicious emails, when the MT complains about anything, i.e., no work, MT leads grabbing your work, cherry picking; then they'll really put you on crappy accounts just to make sure you don't get your lines.

I found the 2nd shift lead to be very nice when I worked there. I always wished that I had the ability to work 3rd shift. I was never able to train my body to stay awake at night and sleep during the day.
You work when they have you scheduled - period.

Looks Like QA Really Can Pick And Choose! Jan 04, 2015After browsing around in FIESA, I found what looks to be an instruction manual for the people who audit us and after looking at it, it sure does look like they can pick and choose which reports to audit, rather than randomly. I have also had the worst dictators audited more than the good ones. Of course it's easier to find a mistake that way and easier to keep our pay down! Remember 7 cpl is really equal to only 3.5 cpl if most of your jobs are VR. ...

I work directly for a hospital and I know that I am absolutely not the only one who does this.

I hope to train for coding for if/when my in-house transcription job dries up, so I asked around the hospital about whether I should get my RHIT. (Yes yes I know I can't go into full-fledged coding the day I get the RHIT. I want to be in position to help out in the transition to ICD-10.) Response was positive, and they suggested any program accredited by AHIMA. Doesn't this leave out Andrews? People on this site seem to like Andrews. My state has ...
Is There A Way To Cherry Pick In EScription? Dec 23, 2012Just curious about this because it seemed when I worked my last shift, I had all good doctors for a change. Some of them I'd never typed before. So I got to wondering if people can actually cherry pick on eScription. I was under the impression that was one of the benefits of that software, difficult to do that. We all work the same bad shift, let's share the junk reports, please! ...

Pick Research Solutions Jul 13, 2013Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if any of you have ever heard of a company called Pick Research Solutions. It looks like they are paying 1 dollar per audio minute, and I have never done audio minutes before. It looks like the job I would be doing is transcribing one-on-one telephone interviews at about 45 minutes in length. I really don't know how long it would take me to do it, but I do know that I type 80+ words per minute, but more importantly, the question is if anyone h ...

QA Schedule? Aug 30, 2010Hi all ~
I am curious how frequently QA is performed at your hospital.
We had been on a 2-reports-reviewed-quarterly schedule, but it seems QA is being pushed further and further onto the back burner because we've been so busy.
My boss would like for me to get a feel for what others are doing out there. I've worked at some hospitals that didn't do QA, ever, so I didn't have anything I could tell her.
