Article - Dictation and Transcription will be under increased scrutiny

Below is the link to the article called HIPAA Targets and it talks about how dictation and transcription are going to be under increased scrutiny. The one paragraph that caught my eye was this: "Casto also points to the number of outsourced companies that work directly off the Internet, opening themselves up for breaches. “A lot of people would be shocked as to how many of those companies have an FTP site that works off the Internet,” he notes." This info needs to be widely spread ...

Anybody notice increased ASR in the last week or 2, with less straight typing. Just when I thought I had already hit the lowest I possibly could, they do this. I was at least getting between 100-300 transcription lines before, now all the sudden lucky to get any. My pay has already been deposited in the bank, down another $100 from before. What do they want next, blood? ...

Interesting article in the latest For the Record, the AHIMA magazine, about the low pay most companies offer.http://www.fortherecordmag.com/archives/0315p18.shtml ...

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 ...

Of course this could happen to any one of us, but it's interesting that the article points out the terrible quality of the reports being done in India. This particular MT transcribed the incorrect insulin dosage that ultimately led to the death of the patient. Proofread, proofread, proofread. We already know that, but it doesn't hurt to spread the word. We're all so production oriented these days given our excessively low pay, but we still need to be so inc ...

A friend has written to inform me that the latest AARP magazine has an article recommending transcription to seniors as a viable source of side income. At first I laughed. Now I'm mad. I have looked on AARP.org to find said article, but I can't locate it. I have googled it, to no avail. My friend is not tech savvy enough to scan it and e-mail it to me. Anybody out there receive this magazine? I would like to actually read this thing. ...

I'm aware of the increase in lines per hour to 186 (average between regular and edited) which I think might be a little challenging to sustain on a regular day-in and day-out basis, but why is no one discussing the increased weekly line requirements. It's a pretty significant jump. ...

I just wanted to post a word of encouragement to others looking for a coding job. I'm currently working as an MT, studying coding at The Andrews School, passed my CPC exam in December and I just got my first job in coding. Because of my MT experience, my new employer gave me "credit" for my MT experience and gave me a higher starting pay rate. I haven't even finished my studies at Andrews yet. The jobs are out there, and there are companies willing to hire new c ...

Article - Dictation and Transcription will be under increased scrutiny - mte
