100% production in hospital transcription

THe hospital I work for is going to production based pay from hourly pay. They have not told us yet what the pay per line will be. Can anyone give me an idea of what the pay is per line for lines typed and lines edited. I am concerned about taking a pay cut. Thanks. ...

When did hospital jobs get almost as bad as working for a service? When I have had hospital MT jobs before, we were either paid hourly, or hourly base pay plus incentive. It was possible to make $22 to $25 an hour. I have also worked on production for a service and for myself and I can usually do 200 lph very easily, 250 lph if I'm concentrating, 300-350 lph if I'm concentrating and getting good dictation (that I'm familiar with and know what they are going to say ...

I have taken a new job to transcribe for a hospital in Canada. What are the differences? Can you post (or email me) links for websites that you use for references - looking up doctors, meds, etc. Is the spelling different? ...

Which would be the best choice? In the event that you had a great account at Webmedx on 3rd shift based on production rates, which would give you the most money? Decisions, decisions! Any comments? ...

Does anyone know of any hospitals in the U.S. currently hiring experienced MTs? I am in need of a good job with benefits that I can do from home. Please e-mail me with your response. Thanks in advance. ...

I just need some advice on a job possibility. Up until last year, I had worked as an at-home MT (ortho/PT, dabbled in other specialities when needed) for 6 years. I then quit that job as things were going downhill for the company and I needed something better. I found an office job P/T that paid well and was possibly going into a F/T position. Well, due to budget issues the job not only is not going F/T, but I am also lucky to still have my job at this point. So I started looking for work. I ...

Hi all! Quick question, which one do you think you can type more lines a day on, using your short cuts, drop ins, templates, etc., clinic transcription or hospital and why? I have been typing acute care hospital transcription for 7 years and am thinking of taking a clinic job, but the money is slightly less. I figure it won't count that much if clinic is as fast as my physical therapy job was I had 8 years ago. Thanks! ...

Is there anybody here who worked for a hospital in the transcrption department only to have their jobs yanked out from under t hem and sent to a National such as Nuance? I know somebody who works for a local hospital and it looks like they secretly are in the process of making this move....some very strange secretive things going on that makes me wonder...... What was the process for your hospital if this happened to you????? I'm wondering if my suspicions are spot-on. &nb ...

Or how from that hospital do you live? ...

Is it mucous secretions and mucus production or mucous production? ...

I would like to know how MTSO's get away with paying MTs and MT editors not hourly, not salary, but solely on how much they produce like they are working on an "assembly line"!!! Being paid on how much one produces is "pathetic" and is not paying MTs/Editors based on their "knowledge, skill, or experience", and I think is an injustice to the medical transcription profession as a whole. What happens also when an MT/editor works over 40 hours per week. By federal ...

Does the company you work for have production requirements? I've never worked with any, but we were just informed that some are coming and that the industry standard is 150+ lines/hr. I could do 150/hr on a good day, but if there are not a lot of reports available, it would be very hard. Just looking for others who work with production req'ts and how you cope. Thanks for your feedback. ...

I'm at stage 2 now. I've got a conference call for my verbal warning next week. Problem is - I have been in the 'cesspool' for months now. One day I (and apparently everyone else in my group) suddenly had next to no more work from my primary accounts. The account has very apparently gone overseas. Every once in a while 1 report will show up, so I am sure MM has not lost that account. I can see a lone job show up every once in a while in DQM. Since then, I have had no ...

Is there a date set yet for when QC will be on production? My thought is, if they are going to this and do MLS work as well when no QC available, Nuance probably has to figure out some fancy grid work to figure their pay on this as well. Nuance still hiring like crazy, offering sign on bonuses, recruiting off different web sites, and then some of us sit with OOW, at least on the US only accounts. The last few weeks it has been VERY regular that we run into OOW. Not even offered to w ...

I have never been a top producer, but I have always been consistent and have excellent quality. All the MTSOs say they want quality but it seems to inevitably come down to producing that line count, no matter what variables come into play, bad dictators, just a bad day, lots of short reports, etc. All they want is that 250-260 lines edited per day. I realize there have to be standards and goals but it just seems that in the past copule of years, especially when I worked for Nua ...

Are there any companies that have any type of incentive plan anymore? I know several used to have production levels with incentive for reaching different levels but are there any of them left out there anymore? ...

This is part of a hospital course. Not sure what the heading in bold should be so I gave the whole grouping for context. RESPIRATORY: No issues. CARDIAC: No issues. IV: No issues. HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY: No issues. METABOLIC/GASTROINTESTINAL: Ultrasound on admission was the only ultrasound obtained. SEN: Patient was on D5 half-normal saline plus 20 mEq of KCl at 78 mL/hr throughout hospital admission. On hospit ...

Just curious if anyone has a remote (long-distance) position with a hospital. If so, did you have to work inhouse initially before being able to go home or not? My last employer (the current one MTSO I work for stinks so bad I don't even consider them an employer!) was a hospital that was part of a chain. Of 50 MTs, there was one in Canada, one in Mexico, and one in China. However, I'm fairy certain that they were Americans who lived locally and then subsequently mov ...

Why can they not get this hospital to fix this? The only place I notice it is the OR dictations, so that narrows it down doesn't it? And today, is the worst I have heard it in a while.. ...

If you don't make your production in any given pay period, do they drop your insurance? Do they give you a warning? ...

the work seems to disappear? I was doing over 400 lph and now no work. This happens every time I have great lph. Can companies do a switch-a-rooney, keeping the work away from people or can the platform be 'fixed' that if you hit a certain lph, no work will download to you? I'm really curious about this. I've been watching this happen for a couple months now. ...

I transcribe reports, do ASR reports and I also do MME work. I find it impossible when I an constantly "switching gears" every day on 5-6 accounts to maintain a decent production. How can anyone keep up with knowing all the CP's and keeping track of all the details of each account plus do the production we are supposed to do? If someone has a suggestion, let me know. We keep getting all these e-mails from QC regarding a complaint from a customer ...

The compensation structure and "minimum" hourly or daily production expectations often encourage people in our industry to work unreported hours in order to meet minimums. You have a day when you get a rash of the account's most trying dictators, for instance, and at the end of 8 hours you realize that you haven't met minimums...so you work another hour, while reporting only the 8 hours. Transcription companies are, of course, aware of this dirty little secret and do nothing abo ...

I have had a terrible Mon/Tues this week due to the software in my computer being incompatible with the upgrade, or whatever happened with DEP shutdown not being resolved. How can I get compensated, other than taking PTO. Have ticket in, but do not know how to document slow production to CCM, as I kept working thinking it was my issue and not the software's, and submitted ticket hours later. Am I the loser in production/pay? It would be a gesture of good busines ...

Got a split report. Never get them. Had forgotten what I learned in the 6.1 update so had to find it on MQ Central and re-listen to the blessed instructions. Took forever as it won't let you fastforward to the part of the instructional that you need. Don't guess their keystroke monitoring cares about that, nor the time I wasted having to do it (yet again). ...

For the life of me I cannot figure out how they justify the manhours being spent to see if we are typing all 60 minutes of each hour without bathroom or snack breaks when we are not paid by the hour. If we are not typing for 5 or 6 minutes here and there, we are not producing, thus not getting paid line rate. It only hurts us so why do they even care? Am I totally stupid? It affects our benefit rate, still only hurting us. The only benefit left for this company ...

Second night in a row on third shift with hardly any work; do they really expect us to make up all these hours over the weekend? With the regular people who are already scheduled for the weekend and then the rest of us that need to make up line counts, how do we get this done? ...

I know that everyone says there is no money in VR, but sometimes you have to take the job you are given and be thankful for that. The account I am working on is 99% VR. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on being productive. For example, do you look at your report first and fix any obvious errors and then listen to the dictation or do you just jump right in with the dictation and do it all then? Currently, I make about 5cpl for VR, which compared to some quotes I have rea ...
