Go live definition - MT

Posted: Oct 30, 2012

I'm new to this - what does "go live" actually mean? Is it when it goes from strictly straight typing to VR? Or is it when an MTSO gets a brand new acct? Thanks!

On a dictation/transcription platform that doctors/clients, facility managers, editors, and MTSOs can access as it is happening right there and then.

Which usually means as a transcriptionist, your work would be able to be accessed right then and there by anybody needed who has authorization. Everybody can tell what everybody is doing at that moment in time. Reports transcribed and dictated can be accessed "live."

They just want everything faster and faster these days!

going live means to me that a new account has been obtained and they are being added to the online platform, transcriptionists are being put in place for a certain date when the account is supposed to be able to upload to the platform, the transcriptionist is supposed to be able to download the voice file and transcribe the report and upload the completed report. That is what going live means to me.

.."going live" meant transitioning to VR. Landing a new facility/account was called exactly that (training on or starting a new account).

It's a new account, everyong has been trained on the account specs and ready to work. The facility is ready to send work to the MTSO for you on a specified date. That is the meaning of "go live".

On our account, the hospital has - alana

remained on their own clunky platform due to unreasonable demands by the physicians. The move to the MTSO's platform has been delayed by about 2 yrs with multiple anticipated and then aborted "go live" dates. Next anticipated go live date is in early February.

I work in the medical transcription industry. My employer is in TN. We are required to work 40 hours per week, and we are paid on the basis of lines of dictation we transcribe per day. Many days there is not enough work during a shift (a shift given us by our employer) to complete our 8 hours of work. This means that in order to comply with company request, we have to work 2 to 3 hours at night to complete our 40 hours, even though we have sat at our desks and continually check ...

I am looking for some clarification on the definition, as per the IRS website, of an "independent contractor." With the majority of companies now hiring MTs as IC's, does this definition apply ? "You are not an independent contractor if you perform services that can be controlled by an employer (what will be done and how it will be done). This applies even if you are given freedom of action. What matters is that the employer has the legal right to control the details of how the servi ...

Does anyone know if I were to move out of the US, say to Costa Rica, would I still be able to transcribe for a company that is US based? I am assuming it depends on the company. But, I was thinking with the time zone being different, it might be a plus. Honestly, I'm just curious because I'm reading a book about a couple who quit their jobs and moved to Costa Rica and now I can't stop thinking about it. So, I'm curious if there is anyone out there who is doing somethin ...
