in their country, and not use US work force? If Mayo clinic wants to use Cbay, should those jobs just be done in India with no part of it being done here? After all, Cbay is an indian owned company. Devils advocate says we are lucky they are sharing with us.

As many of you know, EMR companies charge fees upwards of 15,000 dollars to allow transcription companies to integrate with them. This barrier to entry will lead to us all being replaced by voice recognition or point and click unless we all do something.
There is no reason transcriptionists can not co-exist with EMR's. Doctors still need someone to type their records up for them. It is simply a faster and a more efficient use of resources to keep us in the loop. Eliminating these EMR fees ...

I can't tell you how nice it has been to not be an employee for this company. It angers me to read posts of whatever they are now doing about NJA situation. It's hard to believe we have had to put up with these kind of antics for so long. It's stressful to read them even as a former employee! But I f ...

As suggested the other day, I e-mailed my TAA regional director since all I was getting from my One-Stop Career Center person & UI was that I needed a letter stating a lay off date or that there was an imminent threat of lay off.
