Multiple companies on this account - Need to know... - what is happening

Posted: Jul 26, 2011

We are all wondering what is going on. There are 3-4 companies doing this account. Is one going to finally end up with it or is the account so huge that we are all going to do it...is the question. If you are on it, you probably know what I am talking about (Companies including Keystrokes, Medquist, Keys, Healthscribe, eMTS).

I hope this is not a ban-able question - just wondering if I am going to be out of a job - From where I am, the super says we are getting it - but I see a brand new company on here today that I have not seen before so facility must be continuing to check out others quality and fees. It is a 3-hospital system in Florida.

Thanks if you can let us know what is going on.

Most big accounts have several "preferred vendors." If one starts screwing up, it's not a big deal to shut the faucet off and turn it on more with one of the others. A facility would be crazy to have all their eggs in one transcription basket.

It's been my experience with a large account that is shared by multiple vendors that they are ALL told that they are going to get all the work, but usually the client keeps the multiple vendors, mainly for continuous work flow issues as the other poster said, but also they can pit the vendors against each other for better TAT and better line rates with that pie-in-the-sky promise.

You are absolutely correct! It is a nasty way to do business, but it is done all the time. Thank heavens I'm outta here in 37 days! YAY!

This is why this job has become what it has. Cut-throat. - anon

This is why MTs also cannot trust the comopanies that even do TRY to be fair. Too many have come in and ruined it just for saving money and a profit for themselves at the hands of the ones who have to struggle.

We seem to be getting more and more emails charting our progress, charting our errors, charting how much time we are idle. You name it, these people are chart crazy. I think they like the multiple colors. I am worn out from it all. If they spent half the time actually building us up with positives instead of negatives all the time, maybe, just maybe it would help our production. ...

I have five accounts that I currently work on - three are considered my "primaries" and two are "secondaries". Does this seem like a lot or is it just me? I have to switch between three different platforms to perform the work and on a daily basis I work in at least four of the accounts. I'd love to find a position where I just had two, maybe even three accounts - does this even exist anymore? ...

I work for an MTSO and have been given 4 accounts. After my first one ran out of work they gave me another, and then when that one ran out they gave me another and so on and so forth. My primary and secondary accounts I like, they are basically sister hospitals and are pretty similar. My fourth account is very large and always has work and is a totally different type of hospital, but I like the work and the packet the QA people sent me is very informative and easy to find what you need. However ...

I was just wondering from anyone who has taken the CCS exam recently, is the whole exam multiple choice? I ask because I am taking the Andrews course and using the AHIMA-published workbooks and they are all multiple choice. I use a different skill set when doing these questions, work my way backward with deductive reasoning, reading the question and looking up each answer, eliminating the wrong ones. This seems faster to me and I want to work as fast as I can on the test. ...

Would anyone be willing to weigh in on how many MT jobs they currently have? The couple of MTs I know said they all work for a couple of different MT companies so they have plenty of work, but I also heard someone say they work for 3 at once. I'm not sure I could handle 3 at a time but it sounds like it's smart to have 2 so you always have a backup. Thanks to any responders ...

They darn sure are all over the map as well. This BOSS speaks to the problem we are all complaining about, multiple accounts cause multiple problems. If you actually sat down and DID your job, you could better track and send out work. There are ways, it takes time, and it takes extreme patience, and most of all it takes the loss of you TAT bonus for maybe a couple of months until you get it right. If you truly care, quality would come first. And QA, please stop the BS corrections, I ...

Hi all, wondering if anyone transcribing from home has more than 1 account & therefore more than 1 computer? I have 1 monitor, keyboard/mouse & foot pedal that I would like to use for both computers & am wondering if there is a magic "switch box" or other device I could use so I don't have to buy additional equipment? Anyone have any other ideas on how to set this up? ...

I recently quit my hospital MT job and started working for a mid sized MTSO. This was a big change for me, different platforms, different rules, different type of accounts. I have 4 accounts with this job, all with their own little rules and formats and things. On top of that I recently was hired and quit with another large MTSO for weekend work (didn't like the QA or managers; I was constantly being forgotten). Anyway, I quit them after 2 weeks and was just hired as an IC for small MTSO an ...

Just want to vent a little about how lazy I think people over the age of 18 have gotten regarding proper grammar and spelling. I am not just talking about typos. I know on MTStars we are not supposed to point out typos, but I was just struck with the question: When does it stop being a typo and start being laziness and sloppiness, or maybe even uneducated? I just received an Email from my 19-year-old granddaughter that was full of those abbreviations that everyone uses w ...
