I know this has been talked to death but has anyone that had - PAMT again

Posted: Aug 06, 2012

their work go on Epic had a little bit of work left for them or nothing at all. I guess I am just obsessing about this because I am going through it now. I have posted before but just feel better when people that have worked with Epic can explain what I can expect or not expect. I dont feel like looking for another job but maybe that will happen with all these jobs by 2014. Isnt that when it has to be in place as far as EMR. I wonder why my hospital picked Epic but I guess to get rid of us. One more thing to have to deal with it seems.

Experience with Epic - On site MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I've been on Epic for over a year, I work on site and have been at the same place for 18 years. When we first converted, we literally fought each other for work, there was very little to do and they put most of us on a data entry project for several months. Gradually, the work load increased and now there is a lot to do, although I'd say our volume is down about 50%. I can't tell you what to expect or not to expect because every facility's experience is different. I've been worrying and wondering about my job for many months too but I'd have a lot to lose if I left so I'm waiting to see what will happen, we were given a heads up 2 years ago and the axe still has not fallen. I've been looking for another MT job and will probably have something else lined up if they decide to let us go. Epic's a great system which is probably why your hospital picked it, it wasn't to get rid of you. It is all encompassing in regard to scheduling, billing and many other applications including an electronic health record. It has MTs worried of course but that's how it goes sometimes with new technology. My suggestion would be to start looking for something else but don't quit your job until you know for sure what will happen. If you don't want to continue doing MT, train for something else. I'm approaching the age where I can retire so I'm planning to hang in there. Sorry to be so vague but it's really different in every situation.

I understand. As I said further down, I am the only one - PAMT

basically on this surgicenter so there may be enough for PT. I dont really mind going PT actually. There are tons of ESLs in this account and they are rough. I also am nearing retiring so would like to at least have a little something to do but I wont have to depend on it for everything which is nice. We shall wait and see. I guess if they can get normals for a lot of that work it wont be so good but I dont believe they will be able to do that for all of it. I just wonder how long it will take them to get it all set up as they just started it a few days ago.

Set up - On site MT

If I remember correctly, our set up went pretty fast, we had a little bit of training, it's easy to learn. When they go live they probably will add a few providers at a time, that is how we did it. I know it's hard but try not to worry, I hope everything works out for you. We also have Dragon and it doesn't work for the ESLs so that is probably in your favor.

We are actually on the DQS system and they havent gone to speech in - PAMT

my surgicenter for some reason. Not sure why but they are set up for it and have been for quite a while. Probably will get into that when Epic starts up dont know.

Awhile back we talked about this Vance. He obviously reads this board and writes his stories. I know someone mentioned STEPFORD WIVES CLUB and he has used this term now. He is a writer and will be speaking at the AHDI in Phoenix coming up. Also, any of you working for MQ, there is an AHDI meeting May 8th in Eugene, OR. I AM GOING. I am so curious to hear what they have to say and I might not be able to keep my mouth shut and they might not like some of the question ...

that you find working as QA? I know I have heard a few say that the MTs apparently do not look at their corrections and continue to make the same mistakes over and over which the QA continues to correct over and over regardless how many times the MT has been told. Who loves QAing and who doesn't. Why for each? p.s. been asked to be QA, but I am undecided. ...

Hi folks, I'm an MME and just want to know that I don't like picking your reports to death. When I have to correct a report, I usually leave comments to help you along. However, we were told that if anything is missing from the ADT screen, or if we see 1 little mistake, we have to review the whole report. If the ADT screen is correct, then, unless you're on 100%, we just correct where the QA marker is. I can't tell you how many times the date of s ...

But do they really think throwing us on multiple accounts constantly is going to help quality? What IS their motivation for this? It's just stupid. I would be more than happy to learn, say, THREE, accounts like the back of my hand, but it is impossible to really keep 12 accounts straight, even if you make notes for yourself, refer to them, you are GOING to NOT get it right, not without accepting 3 bux an hour anyway. It would just be SMARTER to figure out how ...

are MTs from India doing well? I was born and raised in the U.S., I was an English/writing major, and I'm QCd into the ground, which makes me wonder - how the heck are people from India and other countries doing as MTs? Can they REALLY do better than those of us who grew up speaking the language, have spent years doing MT, especially since some of us are English experts (and probably ALL of us are English experts compared to those in India)?! What is going on here, seriously? ...

What do you all think about e-mail from TSM regarding death of one of our co-workers? Said family only wake but that she wanted nothing more. Sounds to me like she was depressed and committed suicide, probably over the stress that Nuance has been causing in her life. That's just what I got out of the e-mail. I know sometimes there are circumstances where one feels they're stuck with their current situation, and there is no other way out. Maybe that's what happened. I know I'v ...

I am beginning to think that everything I know is absolutely wrong! I failed my audit, which is only the 2nd time in my 12 years here that I actually had an audit. I am being marked wrong for things like eponyms, which in BOS 2 is acceptable to use, but preferred to drop the 's, but is still acceptable. Also, for not numbering the diagnosis section even thought it was dictated in paragraph form. Is everyone being marked for stuff like this? I have a second job where I g ...

My aunt is 63, still working, uncle 66, still working PT but receiving full SS benefits. He has recently been diagnosed with cancer. If he dies, and my aunt keeps working (she is working for the medical insurance), will she receive his death benefit, and will it be the same amout. She is worried about this, well in advance (we hope) and I just wanted to ease her mind a little. Thank you. ...
