own without having to do massive layoffs.
The real underlying intention here is to have all work taken over by India. Quality and patient safety have nothing to do with it. Paying India workers mere pennies increases the bottom line. There is no public explaining to do or announce regarding massive layoffs. They will simply claim US workers quit on their own and they cannot find employees here in the US. I would love to know how much the person or persons were paid to think up this pla ...
I am beginning to transcribe for a new local physician. I've been an MT for 20 years, have had my own clients & have worked for the nationals - but I've never printed onto sticky paper. The office manager gave me a whole pack of it. It has 11 perforated sections from top to bottom, with about a 1-inch margin on right and left.
Is there some sort of a template for Microsoft word that will print correctly onto each section?
I don't see a name brand on the pac ...
Anyone know how to read the replies that slide off the right edge of the board? I can see that there are more posts below, but I cannot grab it to open it.
Am I the only one who has this problem? Is it my computer?
What I mean is when there are replies to replies to replies to replies to replies, eventually the staggered replies move off the right side of my screen and I cannot click on them.
Thought maybe someone else has this problem and found a way to get around i ...

We lost our paper supplier for full sticky sheets with the easy peel margin (Formtec brand). Does anyone have a lead on a supplier? We were getting it for about 38/box for 212 sheets. I can find full sheets on the net, but nothing with that type of margin or price? TIA.

Does this company hire and then after a quarterly review have QA pick your work apart and then tell you they can either terminate your contract or cut your pay. Understand this has happened to more than one person. Has anyone experienced this. They told me I was doing awesome work, not they picked the work after and then tell me that in 2 weeks my contract will either be terminated or will have a reduced line rate. This makes no sense. I have 18 years experience.&nb ...

There's an article today in my hometown newspaper from an area community college about its MT course, about how MTs are needed for VR, how they make $34,000 a year, and how you can work at home. I just wanted to puke.
Of course the goal is to get gullible people to sign up for their course, hoping they don't bother to research it too closely.... ...
Hi all. I am doing a career exploration paper on medical coding. I need some interesting facts about medical coding. Can anyone explain how the ICD came about?
Any other interesting facts would be appreciated! ...
I'm not understanding if a person was making 8 or 9 cents a line for straight transcription and then the account goes to voice rec and the pay is decreased for that, why is the pay for straight transcription also going down? It's the same doctors, so why am I now suddenly worth 2 cents less to do straight transcription? Personally, if it isn't VR worthy, then you would think that it would still be worth the 8 or 9 cents a line. ...

For those lucky enough to work directly for the client (no MTSO) are any EMRs set up for transcription, or do you subscribe to a service to send Word files? Is it an easy setup? The only thing holding me back from trying to get my own accounts again is having no tech help for problems that are bound to occur.
Any recommendations for services to transmit files and what do they charge.
I just can't keep working for .04 cents a line. It's completely impossible to live ...
M*Modal participates in the market where pricing has dropped by 35% below what M*Modal needs to sustain. M*Modal has heavy cost structure with debt load and G&A which will prevent it from being cost effective in Transcription Out-sourcing market.
M*Modal has also pursued a technology solution model similar to Nuance where clinical documentation review/edit/accuracy function is being transitioned to physicians using Fluency by M*Modal and Dragon 360 by Nuance. The ineffectiveness of this app ...

About EHR and the need to review file room staffing and need to reduce or redefine staff as the record becomes fully electronic, and consider work queues that are built into electronic record systems that will drive HIM staff members' work for the day (e.g., verbal orders that are not signed, transcriptions, etc.).
