Count On Me Transcription has a few errors in her ad - posting. You have to wonder SM


Posted: Sep 15, 2013

how good she really is if she couldn't bother to carefully proofread her own post, but wanting to hire transcriptionists with such attention to detail, and so on.

If she will correct YOUR test errors...

JMHO.

I didn't even know she had a "staff" - COM

I worked for her for a short time and basically I was just her backup person. I got the crappy reports and she would let me know when she wasn't "available" so I would have to fill in for her. These were weekends, holidays, evenings, etc. I barely had any work until she had something to do.

Pay is VERY low also, per report, depending on the type of report AND if you have any blanks or anything that she has to fill in, you get half of your pay docked. More than a few blanks and more of your pay is docked to the point where you don't even get paid for the report.

sounds like she has it - all figured out

for HER benefit. I cannot see anyone staying long considering what you have described.

Wow. Thanks for letting us know. From her big ad, - a person would think SM

that she's got a HUGE business and staff, and would be someone worth working for. One would almost think that big Radiology Transcriptionist position would be something to apply for.

Fooey.

I am not sure who posted this, but I have NEVER docked someone for blanks, so you must be thinking of another company.

Found this in the archives... - sm

Interesting threads.  I notice that there's no reference to a "schedule" in the current ad.

There is no schedule - sm

But you MUST be able to jump and fill in for her WHENEVER needed with no notice. If you have prior plans and tell her such, she will tell you that it is YOUR responsibility to cover when she is out, no exceptions.

ASR Errors/TOO NUMEROUS TO COUNT
Jul 01, 2010

Has anyone else noticed the numerous errors on ASR??  Words left out, he/she incorrect, the strangest of phrases being picked up by the computer that are not even dictated and the phrases picked up do not even come close to what is really being said.  It just seems to me as this ASR is getting worse by the day.  You would think after spending all the money on the purchase or Spheris, that some amount of money would be spent in cleaning up ASR.  The CCM/and the Q worry about c ...


Transcription Errors
Mar 01, 2013

I have been working for Nuance since November. Not my choice, BTW. Does anyone look at their FIESA alerts when they are sent to your email? I am wondering how much experience some of those people have. I have seen errors that they say I did that, after my 31 years of experience doing transcription, I know I did not or would never do. I had one yesterday that said the error was "will follow with you". The correction they put was "will follow with you". Now correct me if I am wrong, but I think th ...

Maybe added to the fact that we are now working on 3 or 4 accounts which are unfamiliar, you will recognize that just maybe the facilities are seeing more errors and becoming frustrated because the work is being sent to India where they are seriously less familiar with the account specifics than MTs who worked an account regularly and reliably up until it was taken away.  ...


1 Point Errors, Critical Errors.

I get dinged for leaving out words like the, and others.  I am now understanding that this is not the correct policy, that others are not getting critical error, major error, off one point for this.  So, am I being singled out? Because I thought this was the norm.  I'd like to know so that while I am hanging on every word and will continue to do so, I thought I was not the only one with this...thanks in advance for the update.  ...

Is this correct? I type 70,000 characters a day. I am paid by the 65 character line so I would divide 70,000 by 65 to get 1076, then multiple that by pay per line, say $.10 and get $107.

Has anyone at the Q been getting hit by "critical errors" on crazy stuff that has never been an issue BEFORE?   All of the sudden, after no feedback for about a month, no audits, nada, zilch, I got my audit and was given critical feedback for not capitilizing a department! (recovery room, radiology suite, cardiac cath lab...)  AND, in a verbatim report, with a client profile that says specifically, DO NOT ADD A HEADING IF ONE IS NOT DICTATED, for NOT adding a heading!  This makes me nuts ...

We get massive amounts of documentation errors from the nurses in the surgery center and in the clinic. Is this usually acceptable?! Is it normal for a transcriptionist to be required to scan over the chart and correct all of their errors or should this be the responsibility of the nursing staff? It's DRIVING me up a wall!

Medical Errors With EMR

Her physician went to some form of EMR. They questioned why she was taking a narcotic cough suppressant and insulin listed under her medications in the computer. She was shocked and stated she had never taken those meds. Another family member, who does not drink, got a copy of his most recent physical required yearly f ...
